Who knew a 54 years old zombie movie would inspire better race relations today? Hmmm...
George Romero's classic is groundbreaking on so many unexpected levels that it is shocking that the film was made!
Mmm hmm...This movie is one of the reasons why we lament over the lost of quality of film making that was pre-code films. The steamy love triangle between Myrna Loy, Leslie Howard and Ann Harding's characters is super saucy and ripe with smart dialouge that educates its audience on male and female sensuality and sensibility. True life lessons from classic Hollywood indeed!
YouTube
Our number one crush, Burt Lancaster, co-stars with an Oscar winning, acting powerhouse cast featuring Kirk Douglass, Ava Gardner, Fredrich March, Edmond O'Brien and Martin Balsam. Legendary director, John Frankennheimer directs a screen play written by Mr. Twilight Zone himself, Rod Serling, based on the best selling novel of the same name.
This is truly an elite, classic Hollywood suspense film about political intrigue involving the White House, the U.S. Military and nuclear disarmament! No sides are given, but lines are clearly blurred and may have been crossed when it comes to a possible fatal power struggle!
YouTube
Humphrey Bogart's "Rick" has to decide if he'll fight love and war as the love of his life, Ingrid Bergman's "Ilsa", appears out of nowhere trying to protect her husband Nazis hot on his trail in Morroco during WWII.

YouTube
What do you do when life railroads you on the wrong side of the tracks you're from?

And, some times it's for the best!
YouTube
A southern belle experiences love and lost as she comes into womanhood during the U.S. Civil War.
YouTube
Charles Laughton gives another acting clinic on facial expressions and underplaying emotions as a comedy device. His 1935 performance as Marmaduke (LOL) Ruggles, a loyal English butler gambled away to some zany Americans, played by Mary Boland and Charlie Ruggles (a coincidence), to go and serve in the "wild west" of 1901's Red Gap is a classy classic comedy that never wastes a scene and is hi. la. ri. ous!
YouTube
Bad Bette is best, but Bette is Bette. So, Bette is always better than the rest! "The Corn Is Green" was one of her first roles as an almost saintly educator who teaches a young man and his Welsh coal mining town the value of education.
YouTube
Think of Fred MacMurray's Paul Sheridan as Walter Neff's (Double Indemnity) dumb, slightly younger nephew who learned nothing from Uncle Dummy about shady blondes! Kim Novak co-stars as said blonde .

YouTube

Brown Paper Bag is an homage to one our favorite film genre's, film noir. But, it is told from the rare perspective of a black man as the hero/protagonist in 1940's Hollywood. Archie Glass (Rasheed Stephens) arrives in Hollywood with stars in his eyes to only have them immediately exchanged for black marks for all the beatings he takes by not only racist but criminal thugs too as he searches for a missing white starlet. This well done independent film is a not to miss, on pins and needles gem!
It's Burt and Clark...Gable that is-the one and only. This straight forward male soap opera that takes place during WWII on a subamrine full of men, men, men, men, men is riveting and groundbreaking. The nail biting, don't look away "Run Silent, Run Deep" is a clinic in leadership, loyalty, perseverance and patriotism! We salute the U.S Navy and Military!
YouTube
Our first Hitchcock film! This 1947 cerebral, sleeper, "flop" is a movie about men and women in lust and love disguised as a "whodunnit" murder mystery! Gregory Peck stars as defense lawyer to accused murderess, Valli, and husband to devoted wife, Ann Todd. Whom will he chose?
YouTube
Laughton, Mills, DeBanzie...a who's who in British film and theater greatness all give some of their best performances in this 1954 clinic on how to: get married, make a man and a man and a woman a woman!
This pre-code film is delighhtfully comical while being brutally honest about the corrupt, incestous relationship between, big business, pharmacy, politics, education and commercialism. John Barrymore gives one his best performances as the naiive Professor Topaze who finds himself a patsy to fraud most foul. This "can't-believe-it-got-made-movie" also stars Myrna Loy as the Honey Trap with a heart as golden as her honey. Not to be missed or underestimated, "Topaze".
YouTube
There aren't enough superlatives to describe the seriously underrated masterpiece that is 1957's "Sweet Smell of Success". Tony Curtis manages to upstage, in many scenes, the one and only Burt Lancaster who gives one of the most diabolical on screen performances as J.J. Hunsecker-a ruthless king maker/breaker in N.Y.C.'s kill or be killed newspaper columnist and publicity scene. If you don't want to know how the real sausage is made in entertainment, politics, business, etc., then skip this brutal truth of movie platinum!
YouTube
Sylvia Sydney's character was definitely into it-especially if she wanted to be governor! She and non other than George Raft star in this 1946 drama about how politics worked then and still does the same way today.
YouTube
Bette Davis is the "niceguy" in this 1943 dramedy co-starring Miriam Hopkins as her nicesty (nice+nasty) BFFL. These two play rivals in everything ranging from men, motherhood and money. And, the vitriol seems so real because their off screen bitter feud translated so well on screen.
YouTube
This 1975 ultimate stars vehicle for Ms. Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams catapulted the USA's and the world's consciusness into not only is black is beautiful but its uber glam and gorgeous! 1975's "Mahogany" is culturally relevant on so many levels. We discuss them here.
YouTube
This 1956 British comedy stars the perfect coupling of Kathleen Harrison and Jack Warner as- NOT "The Huggets", but the Knowles! But, they are still as sweet and funny with a new cast of zany friends and family that will have you in stitches! You will LOL at, "Home and Away".
YouTube
Our first double feature and we chose these two because of the double dealing, scandolous broads they feature! Hedda Hopper in "The Mystery Train" and Martha Vickers in "Alimony" are so terrible we had to put them in our Hall of Fame, "Most Horrible Women in Film"! Enjoy these two worthy winners!
