I have no answer except to add The Devils (1971) and To Live and Die in LA (1985) and Fort Apache (1948) and Seven Beauties (1975) and Triumph of the Will (1935) to add a little colour to this basically black-and-white list. Most were seen by a much younger me as a bit dark, but these are dark times. Still, the light becomes more evident in the darkness, as white seems more white next to black, although there are still infinite shades of grey.
