A great thread, @UAEADDICK ! Will have to explore films from the later decades as well.
In no particular order:
- M (1931) - Fritz Lang's first talkie - The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) - Double Indemnity (1944) - The Third Man (1949) - Some Like It Hot (1959)
A number of the excellent films on this thread and many other older classics can be watched free on the Movie Internet Archive site at https://archive.org/details/feature_films
People upload films once they are out of copyright, which, in film, is basically 70 years after the death of the last of the director, screenwriter or the music composer. There are nearly 16,000 feature films available to view online or download. It’s free and there are sections on film noir, comedies, silent films, sci-fi/horror and many other categories, as well as a number of more recent films.
If you're looking for a particular film, it's best to search it on the Feature Film page by title or director.
Save for the Talking Pictures channel, these old films seem to be rarely screened on TV these days. The ones I've watched on TV through the computer and a HDMI cable have been of good quality, in addition to which, the films on this site come without ads.

Next month I'm also seeing Freaks from 1932. A very controversial film at the time and still is today.
