Why don't people specifically watch more old films? I love them myself.
I've decided to choose two, one a perhaps little known, but wonderful British murder/mystery film from 1952 "Mr. Denning Drives North". It's okay the link doesn't give any of plot away:
Mr. Denning Drives North - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here's the full film, 1 hour 27 minutes:
Then as I love Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, as Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. I think "Sherlock Holmes and The House of Fear" from 1945 is excellent and very atmospheric.
Here's the full film, 1 hour 9 minutes:
If you watch these films, hopefully you'll like them.
"Now and Forever" made in 1934 and starring Gary Cooper, Carole Lombard, Shirley Temple, Sir Guy Standing and Charlotte Granville and directed by Henry Hathaway.
Now and Forever (1934 film) - Wikipedia
Gary Cooper looking gorgeous, Carole Lombard looking gorgeous, it's a very good film, don't let Shirley Temple being in it put you off, it's not a musical, Shirley doesn't go through the film at random moments singing things like "The Good Ship Lollipop", she only sings one song which thankfully is mercifully short.
I hate Shirley Temple films, I hate musicals in general. "Now and Forever" is completely a Gary Cooper and Carole Lombard film.
Here is the full film, in excellent picture quality, the duration of the film is one hour and twenty one minutes.
I adore Carole Lombard films, it's a tragedy that she died so young at the age of 33 years old and in such a horrific way.
This below is 16mm sans sound footage of the TWA Flight 3 plane crash aftermath, filmed on Mount Potosi, Nevada on the morning of January 17, 1942, the plane crashed into Mount Potosi the night before at approx 7.20PM, instantly killing all 22 people on board including Lombard and her mother Elizabeth Peters.
There is of course no footage of any bodies, but footage of the rescue teams and of body bags being literally pulled with ropes back up Mount Potosi.
The duration of this 16mm footage is five minutes and twenty nine seconds.
