These are mostly movies my dad watched as a kid, so most of this stuff is way before my time and really politically incorrect. They smoked and slapped women, and if you were Black, you couldn't get a job in the movies unless you were cleaning something. Some of the more recent stuff you may recognize. But this was, for me, the stuff of late night TV. I grew up in the days when children had a bedtime, and it wasn't negotiable. Mom and Dad were officially off the clock, and they didn't want to see you for the rest of the night. So the only way to see these movies was on Friday or Saturday night, or if I got lucky and my parents fell asleep downstairs watching TV. Consequently, I can't get enough of these great old movies that had no special effects or gimmicks…just great writing, great acting, and compelling stories. If you can get past that and the lack of color in many of these films, you're in for a real treat, no matter when you were born.
