This is partially inspired by @UsedJavelin's thread about Seven Samurai.

I watched a lot of the Western "film canon" when I was younger, and lately I've just been craving some good "artistic" movie content. But I don't trust the :reddit-logo: crowd nor the letterboxd nerds for serious recommendations, so I turn the question to my comrades

    Weimar era films are a thing I've been meaning to look into more.

    I've seen "Kuhle Wampe" (1931) by Brecht a couple of weeks ago and was disappointed by it. Turns out, it was heavily censored by the government for its communist politics and the scenes that were cut out would have made it into a more coherent film. Which explains why it's only 1h 10m long
