The Quiet Man
A very atypical John Wayne movie. Set in Ireland. Quite a few internal conflict and romance elements but he still shines through it all as a man's man. Some really great characters in the supporting cast. Not to mention a young Maureen O'Hara as one of the original smoking hot redheads.

I finally got around to watching some classics. Once Upon A Time in the West really blew me away after watching it for the first time with my folks recently. We all loved it.

If you want to go old school Trier why not go pre-Dogma and pick Europa or The Element of Crime?

my top 10 classic films that nobody appreciates enough.
in no particular order
1Runaway Train
jon voight and eric roberts escape prison only to stow away on a train that the conductor has a heart attack and drops dead so the train keeps going faster and faster fucking shit up in its path. meanwhile a crazy as fuck warden will stop at nothing to recapture voight. movie is almost all action and voight chewing scenery. 10/10
2The Earthling
Ricky Schroeder is on a camping trip with his parents in the wild of australia when shit happens and both parents die in an accident, little boy schroeder wanders around til he meets up with some older man who is an outdoorsman who teaches the kid how to be independent and not such a pussy.
3The Ratings Game
Danny Devito's first directorial debut, devito is the successful owner of a trucking company in new jersey who has money falling out of his ass but he wants to be a TV star and writer. so he moves to hollywood to live out his dream, but none of the major studios will give him the time of day until one network producer greenlights his show out of revenge because he had just been fired by the network CEO. devito realizes he has been used, but still wants his show to be a success. so he hartches a plan to kidnap all the families of the Neilson Ratings System and coordinates with the mafia to have their goons watch his tv show. hilarity ensues.
(no trailer, movie was probably never released on dvd)
4Watership Down
a warren of rabbits, there is one who has visions of an coming apocalypse, so some listen and leave their warren for a better place. along the way they have many adventures. many of them grim. movie is supposed to be a kid flick but it's not at all.
5The Brink's Job

bonus
make sure you watch two of Buster Keaton's epic films
The General and Steamboat Bill Jr
some of the best stunts you will ever see in a movie and all done by Keaton who fucked himself up doing it.
one scene he breaks his neck and didnt even realize it until years later.
