Hmm, as above, where to begin? I'm a huge fan of Orson Welles, both director/actor/writer/whatever. Otherwise some of my favorites are:
Lawrence of Arabia (all time favorite; also any David Lean) Sunset Boulevard All About Eve Peeping Tom (anything by Michael Powell, really, but that especially) Sweet Smell of Success Harold and Maude Beyond the Valley of the Dolls Phantom of the Paradise Dog Day Afternoon Akira Kurosawa (and especially anything with Toshiro Mifune) Wicker Man Anything with Lon Chaney The General
Totally random list, subject to change, obviously, but that should give you an idea! I write movie reviews, which you can find with my films tag or this master list, on LJ as I haven't updated the links yet here. Unfortunately they tend to be modern, depending on what I watch and what I have time to review.
