1.Maytime (1937) starring: Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy, John Barrymore, Herman Bing, Tom Brown directed by: Robert Z. Leonard September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.16
Most of Nelson and Jeanette films will make you sing and smile and once in a while make you shed a tear. I always wanted to know why my mom cried looking at their movies years ago when i sat on her lap while they played on tv in the early sixties. Now that im older, and have just seen this movie, i also shed a tear for this delightfull tale of love.

2.Great Waltz, The (1938) starring: Luise Rainer, Fernand Gravey, Miliza Korjus, Hugh Herbert, Lionel Atwill directed by: Victor Fleming, Josef von Sternberg, Julien Duvivier September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.25
I throughly enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to any one who enjoys good music. The plot was entertaining and you were hoping that his wife would win out in the end. A good way to spend a couple of hours.

3.To Be Or Not to Be starring: Carole Lombard, Jack Benny, Robert Stack, Felix Bressart, Lionel Atwill directed by: Ernst Lubitsch July 22, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.74
What happens when you mix the late Jack Benny, Carole Lombard, Robert Stack with Adolph Hitler? One very funny comedy. The script is great, very fast moving, and truly enjoyable to watch. Black and white never looked so elegant. And don't forget to watch the extra feature, too. Very funny situational comedy called 'The Rounder.' You may have never heard of it, but it is a classic to watch and to share with your friends and family.

4.Bitter Sweet starring: Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy, George Sanders, Ian Hunter, Felix Bressart directed by: W.S. Van Dyke December 11, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.49
Jeanette and Nelson movies succeeded more when done in black and white, and especially where Nelson was the hero and Jeanette the kind of damsell in distress..but there was always adventure...great sets and great singing... In Bittersweet, Nelson does'nt look like himself compared to other films, maybe his health was not the best ... i even remember this film from my youth and even then i knew that this one was not like the others. Hey, Nelson and Jeanette only made 8 films together ...so Bittersweet for all fans is also a must see and a keeper for the collection.

5.The Glenn Miller Story starring: James Stewart, June Allyson, Harry Morgan, Charles Drake, George Tobias directed by: Anthony Mann March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.28
If you love Jimmy Stewart, this is the movie for you. Jimmy Stewart portrayed Glenn Miller with style and grace. Love it! The scenes with the service men is very special to my family as my father was in this film and can be clearly seen. When this movie was on TV when I was growing up, we always watched it no matter the time of day. Now we can watch it over and over and pause it to get a better look.

6.Stalag 17 starring: William Holden, Don Taylor, Otto Preminger, Robert Strauss, Harvey Lembeck directed by: Billy Wilder October 22, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.88
If you like a little comedy mixed in with a war movie then here you go. This takes place in a German POW camp, Stalag 17. ofcourse the major things to do are to survive and escape. Watchi how these men band together and make that happen.

7.Comrade X starring: Clark Gable, Hedy Lamarr, Oskar Homolka, Felix Bressart, Eve Arden directed by: King Vidor September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.99
After the release of Ninotchka there was an attempt to explore and exploit and blend the love with the political consequences of living in a country placed behind the iron' s curtain. Nevertheless King Vidor `s only minor film is precisely this one in which nothing happens, due perhaps the narrowness of its limits.

8.Love Crazy starring: William Powell, Myrna Loy, Gail Patrick, Jack Carson, Florence Bates directed by: Jack Conway September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
I saw "Love Crazy" on TCM a few months ago, and I thought it was one of funniest movie (Screwball) comedy I have ever seen. I won't spoil if for you, but this man is very in love with his wife, and will do almost anything to keep her and his marriage intact, but a busy body mother-in-law will also do anything to break up the marriage for her daughter to a man she don't like. To what length the husband will go, is what makes this movie so wonderful to watch, you will laugh at some of the thing he does to keep his wife. Man, he must really loves her. We have had movies of mother-in-laws interfering in they children marriage before this movie and after this movie, but I think this is one the funniest, and it has the ever beautiful Myrna Loy as the wife, and William Powell as the husband. Their chemistry is just good ... Read More

9.Desperate Journey starring: Errol Flynn, Ronald Reagan, Nancy Coleman, Raymond Massey, Alan Hale directed by: Raoul Walsh December 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $17.78
Of all the actors of the 40s who made WWII-themed films, Errol Flynn was second only to John Wayne in raising critics' ire for 'winning the war single-handed'. His civilian status was ridiculed, although Flynn HAD in fact, attempted to enlist, but had been rejected (despite his robust appearance, it was discovered he had an 'athlete's heart', plus traces of malaria and TB he had contracted in his youth). Even with the negative press, Flynn's unique status as an Australian who was also an American movie star made him ideal as a morale booster for not only wartime American audiences, but audiences overseas, as well. "Desperate Journey" was certainly the most incredible of his war films, with it's 'over-the-top' action, and wildly improbable plot (downed fliers reap havoc on moronic Nazis, then safely return to England in a ...

10.A Night at the Opera starring: Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, Harpo Marx, Kitty Carlisle, Allan Jones directed by: Edmund Goulding, Sam Wood January 27, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
I didn't fully appreciate this film until my second viewing. Now I think it's one of the better Marx Brothers film. The film - filled with funny lines - has all the familiar MB trappings: good slapstick, good and bad jokes and routines, wild scenes, several musical numbers and general overall chaos. The only thing not appealing to me in the film were some of the songs - not all, just some. Otherwise, it was all fun as Groucho, Chico and Harpo all share humorous lines and/or sight gags. This is the film with the famous scene involving a ton of people being stuffed into Groucho's small cabin room. It's more amazing than funny. My favorite scenes were when Groucho and Chico got into discussions and trade lines back-and-forth. I also laughed heartily at the finale with Harpo swinging like Tarzan at the opera house. In all, a funny MB film, ... Read More
