Ladri di biciclette (1948)

"The Bicycle Thieves" is an old italian black/white film that has claimed a spot among the true cinematic classics. It centers around a man who's bike has been stolen, and how he and his young son go in search of finding it, as it's vital to the man's job and hope of having any income.
I liked this film, the story was simple, but sweet. The actors were all amateurs at the time this film was made, but they all do a really good job. Quite a charming film in fact.

À bout de souffle (1960)

"Breathless" is an old french black/white film which is rated among the classics of cinematic history. I didn't like it too much, the buildup was simple, and I didn't really care about what happened to the character. Plus the main character had some annoying habit with fiddling his lips. It just bugged me.
