Another thought: the color blue in cinema can symbolize melancholy, mystery, etc. So recommending films where blue is a thematic element, such as "Blue Velvet" (1986), but again that's more 80s.
Let me check if there's a specific genre or aspect in classic cinema that uses blue tones. For example, some films have a blue-and-white color scheme, like old silent films. Or maybe certain directors are known for using blue in their cinematography. Alternatively, "blue" might refer to "blues," like in the genre, but that's a stretch.
Alternatively, maybe the user is referring to old films preserved on blue film stock? I'm not sure.
Wait, the user wants vintage and classic, so perhaps the 20s to 60s.
