I honestly forgot about most of them until this thread because they don't get much airplay. Don't know if the vcr in the basement still works or not but I have still have quite a few old tapes down there. Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten put out quite a few films that I liked (Citizen Kane, Third Man, Shadow of a Doubt). Found 39 Steps, M, Maltese Falcon, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Rebecca, Sullivan's Travels, and a few more.
My wife hated watching most (all?) of those with me.
All of the films you listed are very good. I'm sorry your wife does appreciate them. I've always liked the old films. These days I have a hard time finding good shows to watch on TV, and most films coming out seems to lack quality plots or rely too heavily on low-brow humor. Hollywood seems to be running out of good ideas. The old movies still entertain me.
