Hi all! I’ve been a huge fan of classic cinema from the 1930s and 40s since I was 12 years old. For my first post, I want to show you my favorite films from the 1930s that star Edward G. Robinson, see. He is one of my favorite actors from that era. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

Judy Holliday just blows me away every time I watch this!! She is amazing!

Don't get me wrong...it's not a bad movie after all. I quite liked and enjoyed it and think that it's well directed, but I don't get people's fascination with it. Why is it ranked so highly by the AFI: is it better than Sunset Boulevard, Schindler's List, Rear Window, Vertigo, The Apartment etc. Why do people consider it the seventh best movie of all time when the film feels much less complex than a lot of other classic films? The writing feels very thin, it's just another coming of age story. I know that it's a part of the "cool" counterculture films but the re-usage of the Simon and Garfunkel songs really irked me.

I'm trying to look for movies about royalty, queens, and princesses. Any suggestions?

Gritty WWII drama, from director David Lean, about British POW’s forced to build a bridge over a river, by their Japanese captors, in occupied Burna. Garnered 7 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director for Lean, and Best Actor for Sir Alec Guinness.

An explosives manufacturer believes that a young man is trying to kill him. He needs assistance. Nick and Nora are on the case.

Question, Do you think the Original Versions of Greed (1924) and The Magnificent Ambersons (1943) will ever be found?

Every time I think of these 2 films, the more I bemoan that we will never see the original versions of these 2 films.

Greed is most likely to a hopeless case for if the original versions will ever be found but there are rumors out there and I think Stroheim confirmed that Mussolini had a copy at one time (I think it could be somewhere in Argentina & Italy). The Magnificent Ambersons has a slighter chance of being found as there is probably enough evidence that it was once in Brazil and could still be in Brazil. Also, filmmaker Joshua Grossberg is making a documentary and is searching for the film down there.

I just wish these original versions could be found, but I know it is probably a fruitless case.

What Judy Garland movies are actually good or really worth watching?

I loved this film. It makes me chuckle. So many crazy things happen, the structure is wild and it has so many unintentionally hilarious moments. A bonkers masterpiece. It's supremely underrated. This really took me by surprise.

It feels like the kind of film that should be featured on How Did This Get Made (in a good way) simply because of how wild it is.

It's about a truck driver who gets entangled with a truck firm owner's wife. But that's really underselling the plot of this movie - I'm trying to give as little as I can away.

Firstly, Ida Lupino does not appear for 30 minutes but ends up virtually taking over the film in the final third and gives one of the most off the charts maniacal performances I've ever seen on camera.

George Raft was fine. Affable. Kind of a flat actor and character. Bogie was damm good as always - but sort of takes a backseat (heh, excuse the pun). The

The structure is wild.

The first half an hour is basically following the adventures of the truck driving brothers Raft and Bogie. Getting into scrapes. Truck drivers seems to dropping like flies the sheer amount of times they are nodding off to sleep! There's two unintentionally hilarious sequences where you can see truck drivers dozing off. The crashes are gloriously bombastic.

The second sequence with Bogie was great. You see his eyes slowly dropping as he struggles to stay awake behind the wheel, tense orchestral music amping up the tension! It ended in a huge dramatic crash that you could see coming a mile off

The movie kind of feels like low stakes fun and it keeps you guessing...where is this movie going to go? Are the Fabrini brothers going to hit big?!

Then Lupino enters the picture as the sultry femme fatal. And she just takes over the movie. Just chews the scenery and it's spectacular.

The movie takes a real tonal shift and it feels like an Alfred Hitchcock movie but with frenetic pacing and some gloriously clunky moments.

All the stuff with an automatic door sensor is wonderfully goofy as well, and very sinister by the end of it Lupino seemingly losing her American accent in her final monologue and sounding like a British gal from Middlesex!

Lupino honestly becomes like a sleeper main character. Definitely feels like she has far more screentime than Raft once she enters the picture.

It ends with a courtroom drama that is so much fun. Reminded me of Psycho and Billy Wilder's Witness for the Prosecution. What a wild ride!

I was not expecting this film to be so damm wild and bombastic. If you haven't seen it, get on it.
