I’ve been getting into classic films lately and feel like there are so many hidden gems from Old Hollywood that don’t get as much recognition as the big names. Does anyone have recommendations for underrated films from the 30s, 40s, or 50s that deserve a rewatch or a first-time viewing? I’m looking for lesser-known movies that have fallen under the radar but are still amazing in terms of story, direction, or performances!

Would love to hear your suggestions!

Movies that went under the radar, or movies that you taught didn't get a deserved praise or just movies that no one has ever watched before. And also explain what makes this movie/movies so great or intersting. These can be indies, art houses or foreign....etc Go crazy! . [EDIT: thanks for the recommendation guys, i feel like i should throw in some too. I recommend 'seven psychopaths', 'Raw' (2016) and 'Sexy beast', thanks again]

I'm looking for recommendations of great movies. Movies that are hidden gems would be awesome and even movies that are just great in all aspects

In need of a dose of nostalgia and I feel like I've seen all the usual fare from this period. What are some great 80s/90s movies I may have missed?

I’ve seen many of the most famous, classic Classics. Looking for lesser knowns that are still decent.

Example: No Highway in the Sky (1951), a cute little Jimmy Stewart film. Nothing spectacular, not nearly on par with his best, but… a cute little film.

Hoping for more of the same. Can be an excellent film that is horribly overlooked, or just a solid, lesser-known effort that isn’t top tier but still deserves a watch. Any genre. Thanks!

I just rewatched Sister Act. Fuckin Sister Act. Goddamn Sister Act. And you know what? It's a fun damn movie. It "holds up." But you won't see it on any AFI top 100, Imdb top 250, Reddit top 250, or Sight & Sound's latest canon. But you will find it as #272 on the list of highest grossing movies. Higher than Wayne's World, higher than Unforgiven, and higher than Home Alone II: Fucked in Wherever.

And you know what is #179 on that box office list? It made $167m domestic off a $10m budget. It was #1 at the box office for two weeks, then for two weeks two other movies claimed the title, and then this movie came back to #1 in its fifth week. Fifth highest grossing movie of 1987. Higher than Predator, Robocop, Lethal Weapon, and Good Morning, Vietnam. Directed by Spock himself - it's Three Men and a Baby.

And yes, this is the kind of shit that LLewyn Davis would rail against. Money =/= quality. No shit. But- knowing the crowd pleasers of different eras is massively entertaining. You'd want to know the most popular song of 1340, and how it was different than the shitheel bubble gum pop of the 1350s with its optimism and lack of bubonic plagues.

What popular movie from decades ago that didn't win any awards or find its way to any critic top 500 list do you think deserves its time in the sun again?
