Name some must-see movies. I finally just watched Deliverance, Dirty Dozen, Apocolypse Now (rewatched) Redux is better))and Cape Fear. Which are all in my wheelhouse.

I am compelled by how these older movies build suspense through writing and acting.
 
The original To Be Or Not To Be with Jack Benny and Carole Lombard.

City Lights

Roshomon

My Man Godfrey

Sullivan’s Travels

Older I get, the more I like some of the classic 80s or so westerns.

Unforgiven
Tombstone
Silverado

I have seen unforgiven and tombstone. Solid movies. I will check out the others.
 
Goodfellas
Clockwork Orange
Cape Fear
The Shining

Goodfellas is amazing
Clockwork is mehhhhh
Cape Fear was okay but over dramatized
Shining was amazing

I may be on a western kick as of late. Finally started watching Deadwood which may have started it.
Also have BoneTomahawk, DeadMan (Depp), The Salvation**** on my list.

And I found the stupidity of Million ways to Die in the West hilarious. Young Guns.

***** Edit, forgot I already saw Salvation. It was okay. I think I have seen Bone Tomahawk as well.

Deadwood was good.

Buster Scruggs was cash.

Just saw Buster Scruggs a month ago with my folks. I thought my mother was going to pee her pants every time they mentioned he was the song bird of San Saba County. It's where my grandmother spent most of her life and it just made my moms night. (no pics).

That is awesome; especially considering it was so dark. Sounds like you have a good family on your hands.
