Movie Reccomendations?!
Question: I have become an avid movie viewer due to a film class i am taking, i would like to expand my list of movies, i DO NOT want links to top 100 movies ever made sites, i also dont want people recommending recent movies (with in last 10 years). MY favorite movies of all time are
A Clockwork Orange, Pulp Fiction, Psycho, Unforgiven, Fight Club, Silecne of the Lambs, Dr. Stangelove, M, and Reservoir Dogs.
I plan on seeing, Citizen Kane, China Town, The Shining, Battleship Potemkin, Casablanca, Apocalypse Now, Taxi Driver, and a number of others
So if anyone could recommend classics and great movies similar to these listed that would be great, i love things that are very psychological, or that have a strong plot with a good twist to it, though it is not limited to this.

I took a film class last semester, and one of the best movies that we watched was Ragtime. Also, I know you said you didnt want recent movies, but honestley Gangs of New York is an amazing movie.
