Seven Samurai is old as well, and woe be tide the boy who says that isn't good. Why, I oughta!
Not only is it a great film but it is remarkably up to date in its style of direction.An absolute must see.
12 Angry Men...awesome film

Now that was good. Had the weird looking spaceship, and the effeminate one from the Walton in it?
Yip, John Boy always made it interesting for me, along with Robert Vaughn from the Magnificent Seven, Hannibal Smith and a bird in a Valkyrie outfit...Just watching 'To catch a thief' 1955, on Film 4. It is just sublime. The colour is vivid, the locations (nineteen fifties Cote D'Azur) are just fabulous, Grace Kelly is just drop dead gorgeous, the face, the figure, the outfits, the hair. Cary Grant is just devine. The car chase in the Talbot Alpine on the Grand Corniche above the harbour at Monaco is too painful to watch, the stop for the picnic on the very bend that she died on many years later, driving too fast in a Rover P6. The American actress that met a Prince and became a Princess.
It's just all so beautiful, wonderful, and very very sad.
I wish we could time travel for our holidays.

Also make sure to watch Get Carter, even today it's a very dark and brutal film. Or The Haunting, which is a great example of how to make a horror film that doesnt rely on gore of special effects
They're all way too new, OP is talking pre-60s basically.
It's funny, for all the Japanese (including even a Benshi performance) and old B&W cinema I have seen I've still never seen Seven Samurai. It was on at the Barbican last year but I missed it
I sure hope it's not an anti-climax when the times comes that we meet.

Cecil B. De Mille was once asked "how do you make good films?" and he replied " hire good actors" and modern films of today could learn alot from that...
perhaps a tad harsh as there are some fine actors and actresses out there but wise words nonetheless.
