The Third Man

Road to Perdition with Tom Hanks. Excellent.

One of my all time favorites. Excellent, indeed.

Such a good movie. I love Tom Hanks.

Get ready to tilt your head.

It's very good.  Not enough Orson Welles.  But the perfect amount of Orson Welles. 

You'll have to let me know if you agree after you've watched it.

Lol. I've only ever heard of Strangers on a Train, and only because of the Castle episode, in which it served as the inspiration for a murder.

[YeOldeFustilarians]

you may not like some of them but 
Dog Day Afternoon

Stellar.  Lumet at his best.

Touch of Evil

Fantastic noir.  Watch it along with The Third Man.  I'd watch The Third Man first, probably.  But watch them back to back, if at all possible.  Or at least on back to back evenings.

The French Connection

Yup yup yup.  Love me some Popeye Doyle.  So where's Serpico on this list?

Strangers on a Train

Can't go wrong with Hitchcock. 

The Revenant

Haven't gotten around to it yet.  Loved Amorres Perros and 21 Grams, though Babel not so much.  Iñárritu has a knack for grittiness and realism.

ETA:

Midnight Cowboy

One of the saddest movies I've ever seen.  Worth a single viewing for married people (fairly explicit by late sixties standards in some parts), if that.  Heartbreaking.  Very poorly representative that the only thing people remember is Hey!  I'm walkin' heah.

[YeOldeFustilarians]

Ah, I see Serpico is on the list (now).  Good good.  I always preferred Serpico to French Connection, but that's just me.

Serpico is on the way, 
Thank you for your quick and good remarks. I love film noir therefore my neighbor and I are very well matched. I also enjoy watching films like Frankenstein and other mild horror movies but only occasionally.

I never liked old classic cinema, but ever since reversion to catholic faith my taste for movies has matured.

Martin, have you seen (or did you order or do you own) Network?  That's probably Lumet's best, IMO.  Forgot about it when I lauded Dog Day Afternoon above. 

I've been dabbling in noir pretty heavily lately.  Far from an expert.  Be sure to see Chinatown which is sort of a post-noir homage to noir.  When I first saw it, without realizing its purpose, I was fairly underwhelmed.  Watch it knowing that that's what Polanski was going for and it stands alone.

Network you say. I will check it out.
Chinatown, I want to watch this one. It scored high on IMDb.

Have you and your friend seen The Conversation? We watched it in my film class and I think it's right up your alley(s).

The Secret of Kells



A great movie- deserved to get way more hype than it did(I've never felt so bad for a movie after looking at the budget/box office returns). 

Made to emulate the Book of Kells, I think anyone over a certain age will appreciate the beauty of the movie. Storyline was a little rushed, but that's no problem for young ones.
