Westerns
- The Searchers (John Wayne said it was his best)
- High Noon (Some commies say it is about how they were treated, whatever it is a good movie)

Comedy

Horror (These are some of the first Horror movies and they are classic)

Okay so that is my list. I have left off a lot of really good ones that are more well known, but some really well known was I have kept on because they are so good. A lot of people, I'm sure, have heard of a lot of these but haven't actually watched them, so I implore you to live the higher life of cinema viewers and go for the good ones.
