Indeed need to have a productive time management to watch so alot of movies.

I actually need some reliable peoples who could shares similarities taste in movies. So i can 'skip' and delay some overrated movies behind until i could spaced out my mood and timing for it.

I don't digging much about B&W motion pictures. But Master of Filmmaker like Alfred Hitchcock and Akira Kurosawa are the interesting person to get me started to the history of filmmaking.

We can see how the conversation was made last time especially in intense scenes and storytelling pace and patterns of the scenarios.

And for enthusiast low-budget filmmaker can wisely study oldtimes film-making which is delivery well without dedicated on heavy CG-making. This is part of the reason, i visiting old films to dig the essential of a successful filmwork.

Alfred Hitchcock got tons of filmworks. If i am going to revisit a few of them. I will pick up 'Vertigo' for its Suspension Mood, 'North by Northwest' of its Romantic Thriller.

'Lifeboat' and '39 Steps' are on my waiting list.

I actually like the Character design found from Akira Kurosawa Samurai movies.
'Yojimbo' would be my personal favourite over '7 Samurai'. Probably i got more excited to see the one man show.

Rashomon is a good one too for the intelligent twisted storyline. 'Ikiru' is too slow-paced for my patience only near the ending i finally could benefit some important message from it.

Around 10 Akira Kurosawa movies are on my waiting list. Some of them, i took a quick glance and leave it behind for the right mood.
Watch this now before it will be removed.

I just wanted to share 'Making of Yojimbo' which i watched only a week ago. It is removed the minute i am checking it out.

For horror/thriller- Onibaba(1964), Impressive atmosphere.
Sci-Fiction - Jack Arnold The Incredible Shrinking man (1957).
Drama - 12 Angry Men (1957)
Family Drama - It's a Wonderful Life.

That's it for now until my brain can squeeze out for a little more.

If you guys don't mind a little suggestion to keep this movie thread more interesting to revisit and digging the goldmine.

Be courage and share your personal point of view in the certain movies that gave you impact or delicate messages.

Please don't paste wiki material or elsewhere reviews to voice out for you. I believed if a good movie is miracle well-done. You sure can find at least one of two points to share out what is linger in your mind for a while or even for years.

Else this thread would just be another 'google search compilation' or 'Hey watch this Casablanca! It's romantic...A very beautifully romance.

A quick note is not helpful in recommendation.

I believed this is why such thread is being created to gather peoples who could identify some interesting movies by their own research and sharing to others as well.

MovFreak,

I am still watching the Kwaidan Japanese Horror movie. Finished 3 stories so far. It's a 3 hours length movie! This had been a fresh sensation in watching an old-times horror movie. I appreciated the breakthrough of their art direction though. Seriously i love the traditional instrumental background music. So eerie and perfectly matched the motion picture! Much.. much extraordinary atmosphere than modern days over-abuse with loudness effect to buy shocks from audiences... 10 years in planning this movie production!

And Thanks for showing your personal review on so alot Alfred Hitchcock movies in another thread. I need some effort to digest!

Right now i will clear up some 'modern times' movies first.

P/s: I never watch Casablanca.. Ahhhh~ Only read out that's the most intelligent movie scriptwriting ever produced in Hollywood.

Sorry i just introduced a very popular classic movie as well now.~
