Also watch Pandithurai. The film is a heart-touching drama, but unfortunately it is unknown to many. - Jilebi2000 ( talk) 2:03, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
Just glancing through your list. Don't want to overburden you with too many suggestions but these are also vital for your list:
Roman Holiday,
Taxi Driver,
Raging Bull,
Goodfellas,
Casino (1995 film),
Once Upon a Time in America,
Mulholland Drive (film) and
Sideways (film). Goodfellas and Once Upon are two of the greatest gangster movies ever made. ♦

No Way to Treat a Lady,
The Maltese Falcon (1941 film),

Seen Once Upon a Time in America yet? That and Goodfellas came close to the greatest gangster film I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:59, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Like El Cid, Cleoptra had stunning cinematography but I felt that both films were a disappointment given the quality cast. I preferred The Robe (1953) with an earlier Richard Burton, also one of my favourite actors. That's an epic worth watching, you'll enjoy that. Most beautiful of the classic Hollywood actresses? Maureen O'Hara, Hedy Lamarr, Gene Tierney, Ava Gardner, Vivien Leigh, Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman, Gina Lollobrigida, Sophia Loren, Jean Simmons, Elizabeth Taylor, Paulette Goddard, Yvonne de Carlo I think covers most of them haha! Most handsome guys? Probably Rock Hudson, John Gavin, Gregory Peck, Cary Grant and Harry Belafonte I think, Sean Connery and Clint Eastwood too but they weren't "classic Hollywood".♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:49, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

During a glance at your list, i watched the name Iddarammayilatho with a 2.5/5 rating in the "Other Indian films" section. As far as my knowledge about Tamils is concerned, Allu Arjun wasn't too famous back then and now. What prompted you to watch that film? How this happened? Can you please explain. Pavanjandhyala ( talk) 14:38, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
BTW, did you watch April 1 Vidudala yet? Also, i suggest you to watch Woody Allen's Annie Hall. It is one of the best comedies ever made. Pavanjandhyala ( talk) 05:19, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
I know that your semester has begun and still, you have so many films to watch. Also, April 1 Vidudala does not have subtitles on YouTube and that makes it difficult to you to understand. Once i write the story in detail, you may try to watch it. Now, i am here to suggest you to watch the film Oohalu Gusagusalade with subtitles here. It is an adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac and i hope that you shall watch it in your free time and enjoy the viewing experience.

Gaslight,

The Big Heat,

Kiss Me Deadly,
Dark Passage (reminds me of Vertigo at times),
Shoot the Piano Player and

Get Carter and
Straight Time are two of the greatest 70s crime films on the Dirty Harry vein too. If you want something quirky check out
Straw Dogs,
The Wicker Man and
Sleuth (1972 film), the latter of which will leave you wondering if Laurence Olivier was the greatest actor ever. It's the wittiest film I've ever seen I think.♦

Only Kevin Spacey, one of Hollywood's best actors! See Se7en, American Beauty and Glengarry Glen Ross and you'll agree with me.

Today, the Makar Sankranti festival ends and in my hometown, i have managed to watch a few films. So, i felt i can recommend a few good films in Telugu which would be less than 20. Watch how many as you can and let me know whether anyone of them would qualify to reach it to your films list. But, if you have watched any of them already, and have forgotten to enter it into that list, let me know that too. Here are they :
At least, 70% of these are available on YouTube in English subtitles for free. For the others, i hope that you can find help from other legal video streaming websites. So, if you are interested, if you have the time, and if these are available, try to watch at least 40% of these. PS: If you want to recommend a few to me, leave a message at my talk page. Since i don't maintain a list, wait for my response if you wish to.

No, it is neither based on Cinderella's stepsister, nor a Disney film at all. But you'll agree that it is Disney-like in nearly every every aspect except the studio who made it. Kailash29792 ( talk) 12:46, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
