If you love movies and want to gain a sense of classic film history, you should try dipping into some old standards. There are so many to choose from, this can be a daunting task. However, you won’t regret having this world open to you. For some guidance, look to the canon built up by expert critics over the years, although there will always be disagreements. Check out IMDB’s list, pretty comprehensive. Another way to go is to look to what is available on Netflix. These options can shift from year to year, so don’t be too disappointed if you can’t find one or two of these.
No matter what, it is impossible you won’t find something you are interested in. Another strategy is to work your way through by genre and below are just a few ideas for your next movie night. Whether you are into noire, comedy, avant-garde, camp, drama or thrillers, there is something for everyone.
Avant-Garde: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920); Metropolis (1927)
Comedy: The Philadelphia Story (1940); How to Steal a Million (1966)
Drama: Casablanca (1942); To Kill a Mockingbird (1962); On the Waterfront (1962)
