Hey everyone. I’ve recently started diving into classic American films and would love some recommendations. Most of my film knowledge is from cult films so I don’t really have much of an idea about what I should check out.
So far I’ve seen 12 Angry Men, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca and I’m planning to watch the original King Kong and Citizen Kane soon. I’m really loving Bogart atm so if there are any other classic Bogart films I should check out please let me know.

I think The Big Sleep with Bogart will be a good choice.

HIgh Sierra and Key Largo are a couple of other Bogart films worth your time.
At least some of these I’m sure you’ve probably seen - like The Godfather and The Godfather Part II. The Bridge on the River Kwai, Apoclaypse Now, Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Bonnie and Clyde, Taxi Driver, High Noon, Frankenstein, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Those are some off the top of my head that I consider classic.

Actually, what do you mean with classic american films? From the films you mentioned I guess 30-50’s period?

Yeah, I probably should have specified that. Mainly 30-50’s like you said.

Oops! 
I just thought you meant movies that are considered American classics. At least a few of these fit though.

If you’re into melodrama: An Affair to remember, All that Heaven Allows, Imitation of Life.
I consider these as some of the best films of the Hollywood’s golden era.

The Public Enemy starring James Cagney is one of my personal favorites. Still really holds up today.

Bad Day at Black Rock starring Spencer Tracy is a must see from the era, too.

Today i visited Miniature Wunderland in Hamburg (fantastic work!) and found this Western Town, NOT in the Amerika sektion, but in Italy as a tribute to the Spaghetti Western industry.
If you look closely to the left, you will recognize the flashback scene from Once Upon a Time in the West. It doesn’t make much sense, as that scene was filmed in the United States (and this whole exhibit would arguably fit better in Spain) but still quite cool!

Wow, that’s really cool!!! Hopefully one day I can make it over to Germany and visit this location and Pullman City in the Bavarian Forest.

Well, I’m fortunate enough to live in central Sweden (about 60 miles west of Stockholm), which is just two days of driving from Hamburg. It’s a bit more cumbersome if you live on the other side of the Atlantic - but well worth the trip, I assure you.
