I like old movies like cleopatra, dance girl dance and a night to remember. What are some other good ones you guys would recommend?

12 angry men, the thing from another world, invasion of the body snatchers, the seventh seal, the night of the hunter, metropolis. All these films look great and have fantastic cinematography.

'The 300 Spartans' (1962), 'Zulu' (1964) and 'The Great Escape' (1963) are a few of my childhood favourites you might enjoy, based on the films you've listed there.

Ever since that sex in the city bit I can’t get “Lawrence of my labia” out of my head.

Double Indemnity. You’ll never look at Fred McMurray the same way again.
