The Guns of Navarone (1961)
Medium/Location: Live action movie, 2-hour run time. Can be rented on youtube, etc.
Summary: A ragtag commando team raids a fictional Greek island in an attempt to disable a Nazi gun emplacement.
Content warnings: Lots of people get shot, one person gets dismembered, and there's some torture.
Why I like it: As a 1960s action movie, it's pretty bog standard: the cast, music and location are great, but it's doing what it does competently and not a lot more. As a homoerotic art film, it's an underrated masterpiece. The whole film is absolutely boiling with repressed sexual tension in a way that's really quite striking. There's also a tonne of unresolved plot threads and places to write fic about, and some pretty fantastic h/c.
