I am glad to see someone is enjoying classic movies, and some titles you mentioned are Italian movies.

I love all Federico Fellini production (La Strada, Amarcord, 8½, La dolce vita). and some old school spaghetti western from Sergio Leone. The good the bad and the ugly is a classic.

Elio Petri did some interesting political movies in the end of'60s begin of '70s.
"La proprietà non è più un furto" and "Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto" are very good but I do not even know if an english version exists...

Wow, "La Haine" supermovie indeed

I do not know if these are really "classic movies" but let me add "Ghost Dog" to the list.

For people from east ,by watching hollywood our perception about west is people from west does not have strong feelings towards family ,but my perception broke when i saw tree of life .one of the master piece ever made .

Every single day when i travel in public transport i watch some middle class/lower class man travel with couple of kids in 2 wheeler ,it reminds me of children of heaven ,such children exists everywhere just another master piece it should be screened in all schools to teach kids in young age about compassion,love ,rather then watching wwe,super hero movies,violence games

Damn how i could miss casablanca ,yes indeed its one of the best movie ever made

But no offence there is a question to all english speakers ,people from asia ,europe ,middle east,latin america watch hollywood movies and appreciate why english speakers never come out of the boundary,just curious
