Casablanca 1942 Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Peter Lorre, Claude Rains, Paul Henreid, Dooley Wilson, in an all-star cast, plus the time-honored song "As Time Goes By". Don't let this one go by. Foreign intrigue never was so good.

Foreign Correspondent 1940 Joel McCrea, Laraine Day. This is another top-notch first-rater dealing with German Nazism, with romance, secret messages, and mistaken identities added for good measure. What else but the best can you expect from its director, Alfred Hitchcock? Enjoy.

Gaslight {aka The Murder In Thornton Square} 1944 Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, May Whitty, Joseph Cotten. Note young Angela Lansbury {Murder, She Wrote} who made her movie debut as Nancy, the saucy British maid. The setting was Victorian England as gaslights were used in this marvelous psychological thriller.

Gone With The Wind 1939 Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, and a cast of thousands. Movies don't get any better than this. Britisher Vivien Leigh deserved highest accolades for her perfect portrayal of Southern belle Scarlett O"Hara. Gable, too, was at his hunky masculine best.

Honolulu 1939 Robert Young, Eleanor Powell, George Burns and Gracie Allen. Make your reservations to cruise to Hawaii in this spectacular MGM musical. Noone can do the Hula better than genius Eleanor Powell, "the world's greatest tap dancer". The comedy was superb, as delivered by George and Gracie. To you from the land of pineapples and leis--- Aloha!

International House 1933 W.C. Fields, George Burns and Gracie Allen, Franklin Pangborn, Bela Lugosi, Peggy Hopkins Joyce. China's swankiest hotel had the most interesting guests, including one who invented the "Radioscope"-- television! See it for yourself--it's the best in any language.

It Happened One Night 1934 Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert. No one could hitchhike like these two, so travel with them as they tour across the country together. Best Picture Oscar for this gem was greatly deserved, as well as Best Actor and Actress. The first of the "screwball comedies" of the 1930"s. Enjoy the trip.

Ma and Pa Kettle {The Further Adventures of Ma and Pa Kettle}. Marjorie Main, Percy Kilbride. Hilarious hillbilly series started with 1947's "The Egg and I", with Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray. Ma and Pa's corn-fed shenanigans amused country and city folks alike in ten movies until 1953.

My Man Godfrey 1936 William Powell, Carole Lombard, Franklin Pangborn, Jane Wyman. I showed this sparkler to some friends who later told me, "We sure did enjoy that movie you showed us last week". This was another of the "screwball comedies" of the 1930's that everyone should see. Carole Lombard was lovely and an exquisite actress. William Powell as the butler Godfrey was a charmer. Lots of slapstick served with great acting made this a most tasteful entree.

No Time For Sergeants 1958 Andy Griffith, Nick Adams, Don Knotts. This movie was based on the Broadway play, and one of the funniest ever made. Griffith and Adams, as country hayseeds, were drafted into the military and made the service hilarious.

Rear Window 1954 James Stewart, Grace Kelly. Raymond Burr. This was the ultimate Alfred Hitchcock thriller that reeks of suspense. Get this movie now and see what James Stewart and Grace Kelly saw in it. You'll be on the edge of your chair.

Tarzan - Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan. My brother and I used to play "Tarzan" years ago after watching these classic movies on TV. We'd swing on tree branches, and play in the creek by our house, pretending we were in the jungle. It was great fun, emulating what we saw on our TV screen. The Weissmuller- O'Sullivan features were the best, so swing over to the movie department for these adventures: Tarzan, the Ape Man 1932, Tarzan and His Mate 1934, Tarzan Escapes 1936, Tarzan Finds a Son 1939 { with 5-year-old Johnny Sheffield as "Boy"}, Tarzan's Secret Treasure 1941, and Tarzan's New York Adventure 1942.

The Incredible Shrinking Man 1957 Grant Williams. In this marvelous science-fiction thriller a man is engulfed by a mysterious mist that results in his size reduction. Special effects made this chilling and suspenseful movie highly recommended.

The Invisible Man 1933 Claude Rains, Gloria Stuart {who was "Old Rose" in 1997's "Titanic"}. Mr. Rains was really "out of sight" in H. G. Wells' timeless horror masterpiece. The special effects were stunning. See it today.

The Lady Vanishes 1938 Margaret Lockwood, Michael Redgrave, Paul Lukas, Dame May Whitty.

No, the lady was not invisible. She mysteriously disappeared from a train in this classic Alfred Hitchcock mystery. Have your tickets ready, please.

The Marx Brothers-- Groucho, Chico, Harpo were geniuses whose comedy was ahead of their time. Their zaniness began with Cocoanuts in 1929 and engulfed people in laughter for years. Duck Soup, Horse Feathers, Animal Crackers were among some of their wacky movie exploits from 1929 to 1947.

The Spiral Staircase 1946 Dorothy McGuire, George Brent, Ethel Barrymore. This is one thriller I will not watch with the lights off. I want every light on in the house. A mute maid girl is told to "get out of this house", as a murderer lives there. The sight of George Brent hiding in the dark shadows under the staircase is terrifying. The ending is extremely suspenseful and dramatic. Highly recommended to give the chills, so enjoy.

The Thin Man-- William Powell and Myrna Loy sparkled as married detectives Nick and Nora Charles. This popular series enchanted audiences, as did the Charles' wire-haired terrier, Asta. Look for the skinny guy's five sequels from 1934 to 1947: After the Thin Man, Another Thin Man, Shadow of the Thin Man, Song of the Thin Man, and The Thin Man Goes Home.

These Three 1936 Merle Oberon, Miriam Hopkins, Joel McCrea, Bonita Granville. The acting was fabulous in this drama about three people whose reputations are ruined by a malicious student. Bonita Granville was stunning as the villainous little heathen Mary Tilford. Highly recommended.

Topper Returns 1940 Roland Young, Carole Landis, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Joan Blondell. This ghostly movie is a laugh-riot from beginning to end. There is one laugh after another in this comedy of murders in a mansion. The special effects were mesmerizing and stunning.

Enjoy these treasures from the golden age of entertainment. The movies of the 1930's and 1940's were the best Hollywood made.
