There can be so many:

Classic Black & White films:

The Seventh Seal

The Dawn Patrol

The Maltese Falcon

Key Largo

To Have and Have Not

My Man Godfrey

It Happened One Night

The Front Page

Robin Hood

The Longest Day

The Killers

DOA

The Old Man and the Sea

Casablanca

Shane

High Noon

Touch of Evil

Doctor Strangelove

Run Silent, Run Deep

30 Seconds Over Tokyo

and others:

2001: A Space Odyssey

Ben Hur

Spartacus

Planet of the Apes

The Apartment

Moby Dick

Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Big Night

Psycho

Marnie

Frenzy

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Monty Python's Life of Brian

Young Frankenstein

Blazing Saddles

The Bridges at Toko-Ri

Bridge Over the River Kwai

Lawrence of Arabia

Some silent films: there was one by King Vidor about WWI. Buster Keaton. Depression-Era "screwball" comedies. "Film Noir" and detective films based on Dashiell Hammet and Raymond Chandler novels. Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Robert Mitchum, Cary Grant, Gary Cooper, Orson Welles, Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick. WWII films, Spaghetti Westerns, Clint Eastwood, David Lean, Akira Kurasawa, Samuel Fuller, Steve McQueen.

I'm sure I'll think of many others after I post this. There were so many films like this on late night televison as late as the 1970's but no more. I have found that many young people today have not seen many classic films or anything from before they were born.

Isn't it great when you come across a real gem of a film, by accident, that you hadn't even heard of before?

I recorded 'Good Vibrations' off the telly at the weekend - true(ish) story of a Belfast music fan, rebel and dreamer who set up a record shop at the height of the Troubles, discovered punk, and recorded The Undertones' wonderful first single. I heartily recommend it.

That was showing recently in a town hall and thought sounded good. Was going to check it out...then missed it. So was on the TV eh. Well having not owned a TV for 15 years and well watched one maybe handful of times in those years will have to search it out on the WWW

Cheers for reminding me had forgotten about it when missed it
