Any of the Hitchcock movies are very good IMO. Rear Window, Vertigo and Psycho are my favorites. Also
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Postman Always Rings Twice (the one with Lana Turner)
Rebel Without a Cause
Anatomy of a Murder
There are so many others but these are a few of my favorites.

The big street with Lucille Ball is good and its a real tear jerker!

Also Johnny/Belinda the 1948 version is good!

Did you know that Barry Levinson (director of Rain Man, Disclosure, The Natural) is in it? He plays the guy who attacks the doctor with a newspaper in the shower in a spoof of the shower scene in Psycho. That scene was so hilarious. I also like the "Pee Pee Envy" meeting among the doctors.

"High Anxiety" is the first videotape I ever owned, back in my Betamax days.

SNLROCKS · 05-26-2003, 11:48 AM

Thanks everyone for all these movies!! I'm gonna go check some of these out!

*ShortCake* · 05-26-2003, 03:15 PM

Gone With The Wind, Bringing up Baby, The Long Long Trailer, His Girl Friday, The Philadelphia Story, The Awful Truth, Cleopatra, etc. I hope I helped!! Oh dont forget to see Dark Victory, and A StreetCar Named Desire too.

BrandonS · 05-26-2003, 04:43 PM

Hi, Shortie!

I thought that "The Awful Truth" was hilarious. Cary Grant, Irene Dunne, and Ralph Bellamy were really good in it, although, probably, they were really good in almost everything they ever appeared in.

*ShortCake* · 05-26-2003, 04:51 PM

Hi Brandon!!

I loved it too!! Especially the piano scene Cary did with Mr. Smith.. it was hilarious!!

BrandonS · 05-26-2003, 05:03 PM

Yeah, when I answered your post, I almost added, "and that dog, Mr. Smith, was darned good too." I think it's hilarious that Cary got visitation rights for the dog. I think, also, that Irene Dunne is one of the greatest actresses that nobody remembers.
