There were screwball comedies before "Bringing Up Baby," but few as screwy as this one, and we mean that in the best possible way. Description defies understanding: A socialite (Katharine Hepburn) comes into possession of a baby ... er, rather a leopard namedBaby simultaneously as she falls in love with a much more straitlaced paleontologist. When ...
Considering that "The Wizard of Oz" is over 80 years old, this movie still stands up beautifully. It's one adults and children adore, with iconic characters and classic quotes everywhere. For those unfamiliar with the story: Dorothy (Judy Garland) is blown from her Kansas farmhouse by a tornado into the merry old land of Oz, where she immediately k...
On the one hand, "Gone With the Wind" is a classic: beautiful to behold, with standout characters and performances, especially by Vivien Leigh as the spoiled Scarlett O'Hara, who obsesses over the same guy ("Oh, Ashley!") for way too long, and who perseveres over it all. No wonder Rhett (Clark Gable) loves her. But "GWTW" isalso dated and problemat...
Whether you see "It's a Wonderful Life" as an inspirational story about the power of a good man to triumph over evil or a horror story about a poor schmoe who just wanted to travel the world but could never escape his hometown, the annual Christmas classic is a true delight, with a premise stolen by TV and films alike: What if you could see what th...
"Fasten your seat belts; it's going to be a bumpy night." Bette Davis as aging stage actor Margo seems to have it all: a hunky husband, a thriving life as a respected actor, and fans who show up at her stage door and want to steal her life away — like, say, Eve. Though Eve (Anne Baxter) first seems like the best possible personal assistant, her tru...
If joy could be captured on camera, "Singin' In the Rain" would be what it looks like. It's a musical about Hollywood's gear shift from silent films to talkies, and what happens to the actors caught in the middle. It's also a love story between Don (the ever-charming, graceful Gene Kelly) and Kathy (Debbie Reynolds, as perky as it is possible to be...
Whether you're a Western fan or not, "High Noon" needs to be in your vocabulary. Gary Cooper plays newly-married Marshal Will Kane (his bride is Grace Kelly, a Quaker and pacifist to whom he's sworn to give up a violent life for), on the verge of retiring. Guess what? Bad folks are coming to town just as he's about to leave, including one Kane once...
Sneer if you want at the cheesy monster, the paper-thin "buildings" and overuse of green screen, but without the original "Godzilla" Hollywood might never have embraced its full potential to wreak havoc via special effects. It's also a commentary on nuclear weapons testing (how do you think the great kaiju got roused in the first place?) and a fun,...
"On the Waterfront" is a small story with big implications, about a former boxer (Marlon Brando) who does as he's told by a corrupt union boss ... until he suddenly doesn't. It's about the power of workers to band against not just the man, but the corruption in their midst, and Brando is both heartfelt and electrifying (and rightly, he won a best a...
A lush adventure story that's also about the cost of war, "Bridge" tells several stories at once, all branching from a WWII POW camp in Thailand. Prisoners are put to work building a bridge that will carry the enemy's supplies across the Kwai. Things go very poorly until Col. Nicholson (Alec Guinness) goads the men into doing a good job to keep up ...
