Green for Danger
An Inspector Calls
School for Scoundrels

Dirty Harry

The Godfather trilogy are Amazing

I would also reccomend Halloween 1+2. The Silence of the Lambs, The Exorcist and Goodfellas

by **Renato** » Jan 2nd, '09, 22:52

Goodfellas is 90's (just!) but, along that vein, might as well mention Casino and Carlito's Way...

All of De Niro's earlier films are pure genius. True classics.
