Oh good I was hoping M would make an appearance.

I’m a huge fan of the Marx Brothers. All their movies are in black and white. Their best movies (in my opinion) are:
- Horse Feathers
- Monkey Business
- Duck Soup
- A Night at the Opera
Abbott and Costello had some good movies too. Here are my suggestions:
- Meet the Invisible Man
- Meet the Killer
- Hold that Ghost
- Meet the Mummy
Bing Crosby and Bob Hope made a few “Road To…” movies together, but the one I like the most is Road to Morocco.
All of these recommendations are great. I’m always pleased to see so many cinemaphiles. I like lists, and have found many of my favorites from them.
Ebert’s Great Movies List is perfect.
The Criterion Closet Picks, see the greats talk about the greats.
The Janus Collection has a lifetime of stuff.
M by Friz Lang.
His first sound film. First film starring Peter Lorre.
Someone is murdering children, throwing the town upside down. The police begin cracking down on all criminal enterprises, and the criminals, working with the beggars, vow to catch the killer themselves.
Some like it hot.
Gaslight! You can learn the origin of the internet’s favorite passive aggressive accusation
Casablanca
The Maltese Falcon
It’s a Wonderful Life
Harvey

Any genre would be good.
Thanks for the suggestion.
The 39 Steps - my very favorite Hitchcock movie. I know, others will say they prefer North by Northwest or Rear Windows or even The Birds, but I just find The 39 Steps completely captivating and charming at the same time. It’s an old war-time story of spycraft and adventure that still holds up, although the cultural reference are pretty stale at this point.
The original Godzilla film is a good time, if flawed
Throw the original King Kong in with that.
“The Ghost and Mrs. Muir”
Romance & other stuff. One of my favorite movies of all time!
I think the 1951 adaptation of Dickens’s A Christmas Carol starring Alastair Sim is worth a watch during the holidays. The original British release was titled “Scrooge” but it was released in the US as “A Christmas Carol” so keep that in mind if you go looking for it.

One of my favorites!
