Start with Yojimbo

My humble comments about a few of these:

Diabolique (1955) - I have the DVD.  This is a must-see movie.  However, THE WAGES OF FEAR by the same director is even better.

I Bury the Living (1958) - Nice concept, but I didn't think the movie was all that great.

Black Mama, White Mama (1972) - Okay, but not one of the best Pam Grier movies.

The War Wagon (1967) - Not a classic like RIO BRAVO or THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE, but still a good John Wayne movie.

The War Wagon is pretty good flick, plenty of action. Better than alot of his later westerns. My favorite line: After shooting a bad guy each:

Kirk Douglas: Mine hit the ground first.

John Wayne: Mine was taller.

BLACK MAMA, WHITE MAMA is a prison film directed by Eddie Romero.

DEMONIACS is a Jean Rollin film. It would be my first.

YOJIMBO would like to see, but have seen alot of Kirasawa films and FISTFULL OF DOLLARS, so it migjt be at the end of my list for now.

DIABOLIQUE might be one of my first to see from this batch.

DODGE CITY is highly recommended by Deej and he has suggested some good ones.

I've always enjoyed Ft Apache and Rio Grande, which, along with She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, comprise John Ford's "Calvary Trilogy". While they weren't connected by story-line, they did share the the same focus(the US Calvary, of course) and much of the same actors(the famous John Ford Stock Company).

It seems like these films were on TV all the time when I was a kid, and I'd watch them every time. If they were on late at night, when everyone was asleep, I could build a defensive position out of the coffee table and couch, and play along with the movie. Cheesy childhood stuff...yep,.... do I still do it.....bet your ass!

They were on TV alot and that is when I saw them. I had a fort apache set with blue plastic guys and brown indians to go with the fort, horses, and cannon.
