Last Movie From 30-70s You Saw For The First Time, and Loved?
The Visitors (1972)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069466/?ref_=rt_li_tt If you like tension without the BS, check this movie out. It's rare I give a movie an 8/10, especially nowadays.. One of Kazan's best, the only movie of his that made the transition between the 50s and the more gritty and natural 70s. |
Destry Rides Again (1939). Good western starring Jimmy Stewart.
|
Recently saw Give a Girl a Break (1953), The French Connection (1971), Dames (1934), Down Argentine Way (1940), and For Me and My Gal (1942) for the first time. Found Down Argentine Way a bit of a disappointment, but enjoyed the rest.

The Spirit of the Beehive (1973) and Sundays and Cybele (1962) are the last two.
Also Sunset Boulevard (1950) and The Other (1972) were good, but a tad below loved still. |
The Set-Up from 1949
|
Seventh Heaven (1937). Enchanting love story with Simone Simon and James Stewart

My best first time viewings this year from the decades in question:
West Side Story Jason and the Argonauts White Sun of the Desert Her Name Was Lisa |
Cleo From 5 To 7
Absolutely made me love film again. |
The Day of the Jackal. It's one of the movies that make you ask, "why haven't I seen this until now?" It's thrilling, terrifying and beautifully shot.

Make Way for Tomorrow (1937) is excellent, and will make you feel feelings.

30's: Duck Soup 40's: Red River 50's: All About Eve 60's: Kes 70's: Kings of the Road I'll play this with what I watched last year... 30's: The Invisible Man (1933) 40's: Late Spring (1949) 50's: Sweet Smell of Success (1957) 60's: The Graduate (1967) 70's: Harold and Maude (1971) |

I love the scene with the car dealer. |

And I added All About Eve to my watchlist. It doesn't seem like a film I'd immediately rush to see, but maybe one day. |

I'll play this with what I watched last year... 30's: The Invisible Man (1933) 40's: Late Spring (1949) 50's: Sweet Smell of Success (1957) 60's: The Graduate (1967) 70's: Harold and Maude (1971) Late Spring is my favorite film from your list, closely followed by Harold and Maude. I've been meaning to rewatch Sweet Smell of Success. My reaction to it was "I think I need to amend my definition of classic noir". I haven't seen the other two films on your list, but I'll keep an eye out for them. The Graduate has been on my watchlist for a while. |

Touch of Evil (1958). Now that was a movie!
