By far Barbara Stanwyck is a legendary icon in the field of entertainment. Her characters ranged from heroines to evil incarnate, her portrayals were always amazing and a rare treat for the viewers. Watch any film of hers and be ready for anything because she did it all, singing, dancing, stuntwoman, she went with her gut feeling about life and film. In this age so many actresses are similar, they are bland or nothing special, Barbara Stanwyck stood above the crowd and to this day most people know who she is. From Broadway to film, to television her star will always live on.

A classic Western, the battle between the Clanton's and the Earp's as good tries to defeat evil in the wild, wild west of Tombstone. Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp is perfectedly cast as the walk-the-line Sheriff and Kirk Douglas is brilliant as Doc Holliday. Many early performances by future stars, Dennis Hopper, Martin Milner, DeForest Kelley, Earl Holliman, John Ireland just to name a few. The story does take a few liberties and changes a few things around, but all in all it's a Western worth seeing.

Paul Muni, the superlative actor pulls off another amazing performance as hood Eddie Kagle who gets offed by his best pal Smiley. Enter the Nick (Claude Rains) the devil indisguise who gives Eddie a chance at redemption and puts him into the earthly body of Judge Parker. Eddie falls for the Judge's fiancee played beautifully by Anne Baxter. A must see film.

Absolutely brilliant actress, her performances were so varied that you never knew what to expect. One thing was for sure you were never disappointed, Bette chewed up her screen time, and if you didn't like her tough! Amazing actress one that I...

Absolutely brilliant actress, her performances were so varied that you never knew what to expect. One thing was for sure you were never disappointed, Bette chewed up her screen time, and if you didn't like her tough! Amazing actress one that I will never tire of, something lacking from today's actresses. No one did it like Bette.

A strange movie, it's like the Rat Pack got together and made a movie about every genre there was and hopes it sticks. Flat most of the time.

This was actually a compilation of several "Dan August" television show episodes which was turned into a filmed release after Burt Reynolds' star took off. It's not bad but it's also not consistent in it's story, a little convoluted.

A truly wonderful film, Irene Dunne and Barbara Bel Geddes are absolutely endearing and charming. The ever crockety Oskar Homolka as Uncle Chris, the boozing but surprisingly giving Uncle comes through the times when immigrants struggled to make a...

A truly wonderful film, Irene Dunne and Barbara Bel Geddes are absolutely endearing and charming. The ever crockety Oskar Homolka as Uncle Chris, the boozing but surprisingly giving Uncle comes through the times when immigrants struggled to make a living in a new country.

Hitchcock paves the way for a mystery unfolding like an Agatha Christie novel, but with a twist that only Hitch pulls off. Lockwood and Redgrave are excellent as they try to locate the missing Miss Froy. Brilliant and masterful.

Not only an on-screen love but off as well, when filming finished Cary Grant and Betsy Drake married. Chivalry lives as Dr. Cary is swept off his feet by Ms. Drake's expert cooking! Wonderful feel good movie. Sentimental, yes!

The time and place is World War I in a German prison camp where different social classes collide. One a tradition-minded camp commandant, a French Officer, a cynical enlisted man and a wealthy Jew. The battle of wills ensues. Brilliant story and acting, a definite classic.

The best horror film of all time, according to most critics. Laughton pulls out an Oscar winning performance that has you glued and mesmerized and yet terrified. Brilliant picture, Brando tried to fill Laughton's shoes with the remake but fell short.

The Stork Club hat-check girl rescues an elderly man whom she believes to be a poor hapless bum. Trying to help him she suggests he apply for a job at The Stork Club unaware that he in fact is a wealthy miser. Enjoyable romantic comedy filled with music and schmaltz. One of the best lines is when Judy (Betty Hutton) tells her friend about their boss, the owner of The Stork Club that, "I think he's a bit screwy, he thinks a girl named Ruby Stevens is Barbara Stanwyck." Great fun!

Van Heflin is brilliant and has the best line when he is confronted by Joan Crawford, "I seldom hit a woman Louise, but if you don't stop this, I'll end up kicking babies." Joan is magnificient as the crazy and tortured Louise Graham....

Van Heflin is brilliant and has the best line when he is confronted by Joan Crawford, "I seldom hit a woman Louise, but if you don't stop this, I'll end up kicking babies." Joan is magnificient as the crazy and tortured Louise Graham. Raymond Massey as the doormat of a husband who loves his insane wife and puts up with her abusive psychotic behavior makes this film stand out as fine example of human frailities.

This Academy Award nominated film is brilliant. Amazing performances by Henry Fonda, Anthony Quinn and Dana Andrews. A time when justice waited for no one and was dealt with quickly and deadly.

A gambler (Cary Grant) falls for a Society girl (Laraine Day) and tries to do right by her. Alan Carney (as Crunk) is a hoot! Great character actor. A nice mix of comedy and drama. Wonderful classic film!

Jean Arthur is totally funny and wonderful as the ex-Mrs. Bradford. William Powell is his usual charming self. What makes this one interesting is that as a forensic doctor he must find out the cause of death of race-track employees. Great entertaining dramedy.

Magnificent Jules Verne tale brought to life by the special effects of Ray Harryhausen. A classic, still fun to watch, the thrills and excitement on an adventure island of mystery. Great stuff!

This was the second film in the Cheaper By the Dozen series about the Gilbreth family. Not as funny as the original but still very endearing. A nice family film with some old fashioned values.

Wonderfully entertaining film, about frivolous girls, drinking too much, smoking too much and driving the guys crazy! William Powell is brilliant as the butler Godfrey, who comes to the ladies rescue.

Amazing film about the dark corners of one's soul. Soldiers having a hard time getting back to their lives after the war. Ignorance, deceit and fear drive a group of soldiers to confront their demons. Oscar nominations for Robert Ryan and Gloria...

Amazing film about the dark corners of one's soul. Soldiers having a hard time getting back to their lives after the war. Ignorance, deceit and fear drive a group of soldiers to confront their demons. Oscar nominations for Robert Ryan and Gloria Grahame in supporting roles. I'm so sure Darren McGavin had a small role as a GI in this film, sure looked and sounded like him.

Just saw this one again, real cornball, a definite Busby Berkeley wannabe! Fun to watch, the jokes are cliched but still enjoyable. The musical numbers were well done but not as a grand scale like Busbys' were.

Another classic! Gable and Crawford pull you into their world flawlessly. You become entranced as they go through the ups and downs of social acceptance in their relationship. He's climbing the political ladder and she the social one.

Just saw this one again after many years, it's very funny with alot of Monty Python gags. The cast is great, literally a who's who behind the disguises. One could say Cheech and Chong meet Monty Python! Argh Matey! A real treasure!
