Directors: George Sidney, Joseph Barbera, William Hanna | Stars: Frank Sinatra, Kathryn Grayson, Gene Kelly, José Iturbi
Votes: 9,434
Jan. 1 - PBS - good way to start off the year.
2. The Murder in the Museum (1934)
65 min | Mystery, Thriller
When a city councilman is murdered while investigating allegations of drug dealing going on a a somewhat disreputable sideshow, the daughter of the chief suspect teams up with a newspaper reporter to find the real killer.
Director: Melville Shyer | Stars: Henry B. Walthall, John Harron, Phyllis Barrington, Tom O'Brien
Votes: 214
January 2 Incredibly bad ... just plain stupid type bad. Watched it to see Henry B. Walthall who seemed to be the only trained actor in the cast. It seemed much older than 1934 as far as movie making technology. Bad bad why am I finishing watching this mess ? bad !
3. He Walked by Night (1948)
Approved | 79 min | Crime, Film-Noir, Thriller
This film-noir piece, told in semi-documentary style, follows police on the hunt for a resourceful criminal who shoots and kills a cop.
Directors: Alfred L. Werker, Anthony Mann | Stars: Richard Basehart, Scott Brady, Roy Roberts, Whit Bissell
Votes: 6,704
Jan.3 Not too bad bordering on pretty good straight forward police procedural that moves right along with no side shoots into irrelevancy. Small part by Jack Webb and trivia tells us that this film led him to the development of Dragnet, Good cast including a quiet performance by Richard Basehard. No explanation for the crime spree is ever given (not that it matters),
4. A Double Life (1947)
Approved | 104 min | Crime, Drama, Film-Noir
A celebrated actor struggles to distinguish his own life from that of his most recent stage role, Othello.
Director: George Cukor | Stars: Ronald Colman, Edmond O'Brien, Signe Hasso, Shelley Winters
Votes: 3,972
Jan.6. Pretty good. Watched it based solely on the cast and was pleasantly surprised. Probably being more familiar with Othello would help. Shelley Winters in possibly her first credited role as a character type she was stuck with for a good deal of her career.
5. Made for Each Other (1939)
Approved | 92 min | Comedy, Drama, Romance
While on a business trip, an ambitious young lawyer meets and immediately falls in love with a stranger. They wed the following day, and tragedy soon strikes.
Director: John Cromwell | Stars: Carole Lombard, James Stewart, Charles Coburn, Lucile Watson
Votes: 4,103
Jan. 6. Disappointed. With it starring Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard was expecting a comedy and instead got Jimmy in a role reminiscent of It's A Wonderful Life plus nagging mother and sick baby. One time watch and almost zoomed to the end but stuck it out.
6. Into the Labyrinth (2019)
TV-MA | 130 min | Crime, Drama, Horror
Samantha, a young girl who was kidnapped, resurfaces in shock after being imprisoned and hospitalized.
Director: Donato Carrisi | Stars: Dustin Hoffman, Toni Servillo, Valentina Bellè, Vinicio Marchioni
Votes: 4,833
Jan. 7 Should have watched something - anything - other than this mess of a film.
7. Frogs (1972)
PG | 91 min | Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi
A group of helpless victims celebrate a birthday on an island estate crawling with killer amphibians, birds, insects, and reptiles.
Director: George McCowan | Stars: Ray Milland, Sam Elliott, Joan Van Ark, Adam Roarke
Votes: 7,651 | Gross: $0.48M
Jan. 8. Silly silly movie with so much wrongness going against it ... small positive was a younger but rather lackluster Sam Elliot, Yet another embarrassing role by Ray Milland. To top it off, most of the frogs were played by toads !
8. The Member of the Wedding (1952)
TV-G | 93 min | Drama, Family
Her older brother's wedding forces preteen tomboy Frankie to face her own immaturity.
Director: Fred Zinnemann | Stars: Ethel Waters, Julie Harris, Brandon De Wilde, Arthur Franz
Votes: 1,584
Jan. 9. Very stagebound but that's not really a problem. Accepting 27 year old Julie Harris as 12 year old Frankie is another matter. Effective moments but too often just want to send Frankie to her room for a year or two. deWilde a favorite but the direction or script was erratic as to how he should behave or project. Summation: worth watching if only to hear the singing of My Eye is on the Sparrow !
9. The Undercover Man (1949)
Approved | 85 min | Crime, Drama, Film-Noir
Treasury Department agent Frank Warren takes on the case of a mob leader who has evaded paying taxes on his ill-gotten gains.
Director: Joseph H. Lewis | Stars: Glenn Ford, Nina Foch, James Whitmore, Barry Kelley
Votes: 1,403
Jan. 9 - Federal agent procedural trying to stop the syndicate lead by THE BIG FELLOW ! Pretty well done even with the preachy patriotic speech translated from Italian by the little girl with the required Hollywood lisp. Debut of James Whitmore.
10. I Married a Witch (1942)
Passed | 77 min | Comedy, Fantasy, Romance
A beautiful 17th-century witch returns to life to plague politician Wallace Wooley, descendant of her persecutor.
Director: René Clair | Stars: Fredric March, Veronica Lake, Robert Benchley, Susan Hayward
Votes: 9,523 | Gross: $0.31M
Jan, 10. A disappointment. Veronica Lake was beautiful and fine, Susan Hayward was a beautiful but a cranky, bossy shrew of a fiancee, Fredric March was too old and too stodgey for this so called comedy, Cecil Kellaway was too .... Cecil-y. Dunno ... bottom line, the story was lame and it just did not work ! It's a film I have wanted to see for quite a while ... disappointed that I did not care for it.
11. The Whole Wide World (1996)
PG | 111 min | Biography, Drama, Romance
In 1933 Texas, a schoolteacher and aspiring writer meets a pulp fiction writer, and a relationship soon develops between the two, but it is doomed by his slavishly devotion to his ailing mother and insistence on his freedom.
Director: Dan Ireland | Stars: Vincent D'Onofrio, Renée Zellweger, Ann Wedgeworth, Harve Presnell
Votes: 4,028 | Gross: $0.14M
Jan. 11 Perhaps knowing that this was a biopic and knowing who Howard was would have helped, but I doubt it. Pretty film but scattered and ultimately disappointing.. Renee as annoying as usual. Watched it to see Vincent but he seemed to be acting rather than being.
12. Mr. Wong in Chinatown (1939)
Passed | 71 min | Adventure, Crime, Drama
A pretty Chinese woman, seeking help from San Francisco detective James Lee Wong, is killed by a poisoned dart in his front hall, having time only to scrawl "Captain J" on a sheet of paper. She proves to be Princess Lin Hwa.
Director: William Nigh | Stars: Boris Karloff, Marjorie Reynolds, Grant Withers, Huntley Gordon
Votes: 948
Jan, 11 Proof that not all movies made in 1939 are memorable great classics. Second viewing because it was so forgettable. Annoying perky girl reporter, patent leather haired Karloff Wong, convoluted and ultimately insipid plot. Other Wong's have been more fun.
13. The Stunt Man (1980)
R | 131 min | Action, Comedy, Drama
A fugitive stumbles onto a movie set just when they need a new stunt man, takes the job as a way to hide out and falls for the leading lady while facing off with his manipulative director.

Jan 12/13. A re-watch better left to memory. Very odd movie.
14. The Green Cockatoo (1937)
Approved | 65 min | Crime, Drama, Thriller
A young girl is travelling to London to find work. Arriving at the station, she meets a man who has been stabbed by a member of a gang of crooks involved with greyhound racing.
Director: William Cameron Menzies | Stars: John Mills, Rene Ray, Robert Newton, Charles Oliver
Votes: 314
Jan. 14. Who would have thought that John Mills could sing and dance ? He can ! That aside, this film written by Graham Green and directed by William Cameron Menzies is muddled and ultimately pointless. Lackluster performances (including that by Robert Newton), nonsense plot from the get go and a lot of running up and down staircases abd shadows do not a good movie make. Mills reminded me occasionally of James Cagney at that age but without the spark !
15. Blithe Spirit (1945)
96 min | Comedy, Fantasy
A man and his second wife are haunted by the ghost of his first wife.
Director: David Lean | Stars: Rex Harrison, Constance Cummings, Kay Hammond, Margaret Rutherford
Votes: 8,013
Jan. 14. I was starting to get worried that I no longer liked movies and fortunately this came along. What a delight it is. Margaret Rutherford and Rex Harrison were the only "knowns" and they did not fail to please. Wonderfully technicolored and a beautifully restored Criterion copy available on line. Funny film worth finding !
16. This Happy Breed (1944)
Not Rated | 115 min | Comedy, Drama

89 min | Comedy
The near-bankrupt Earl of Locharne must contend with a government agent trying to requisition his ancestral Scottish castle, as well as a beautiful American woman who wants to buy the place - to say nothing of the resident ghost.
Director: Henry Cass | Stars: David Tomlinson, Helen Cherry, Margaret Rutherford, Barbara Kelly
Votes: 284

Director: Anthony Kimmins | Stars: Ronald Shiner, Margaret Rutherford, A.E. Matthews, Fay Compton
Votes: 281

Director: D. Ross Lederman | Stars: Frieda Inescort, Paul Cavanagh, Heather Angel, Bruce Lester

Director: Tim Whelan | Stars: Charles Laughton, Vivien Leigh, Rex Harrison, Larry Adler
Votes: 1,467
1/18 A pre GWTW Vivien and a much younger Rex plus Laughton .... took a tad too long to get where it was going but seeing Laughton singing and dancing was worth the wait. Nothing outstanding other than historical interest but good for what it is.
23. Marie Galante (1934)
Approved | 88 min | Drama, Romance, Thriller
Marie is kidnapped and taken aboard ship, then thrown off at Yucatan. She winds up singing in a café in the Panama Canal zone. There she gets involved in a plot to destroy the canal and runs into American intelligence officer Crawbett.
Director: Henry King | Stars: Spencer Tracy, Ketti Gallian, Ned Sparks, Helen Morgan
Votes: 408
1/19 Unknown (to me) early Spencer Tracy film with multi cultural detectives and potential sabotage, singing by THE Helen Morgan, a pretty heroine who disappear from the screen as quickly as she came and character actors galore. Worth a "historical watch" if for no other reason.
24. The Runaway Bus (1954)
78 min | Comedy, Crime, Mystery
After heavy fog prevents all aircraft from leaving London airport, a group of passengers take an airline bus to get them to an alternative airport. However, one amongst their number is the ... See full summary »
Director: Val Guest | Stars: Marianne Stone, Lionel Murton, Lisa Gastoni, Margaret Rutherford
Votes: 768
1/19 AWFUL to the point of giving up half way through and fast forwarding to the end awful. Even the presence if Margaret Rutherford and spotting Stringer Davis could not save this boringly stupid mess. Petula Clark unrecognizable but it is on her filmography. Advise to others... skip it !
25. High Spirits (1988)
PG-13 | 99 min | Comedy, Fantasy
When a hotelier attempts to fill the chronic vacancies at his castle by launching an advertising campaign that falsely portrays the property as haunted, two actual ghosts show up and end up falling for two guests.
Director: Neil Jordan | Stars: Peter O'Toole, Daryl Hannah, Steve Guttenberg, Donal McCann
Votes: 10,685 | Gross: $8.58M
1/19 &20 NOT the Noel Coward story ... this one is a frenetic "comedy" set in Ireland ... too frantic, too busy, too too including O'Toole trying too hard.
26. Too Many Crooks (1959)
Not Rated | 85 min | Comedy, Crime
In this spoof on crime films, four would-be criminals manage to botch every job they plan. When they try to rob wealthy Billy Gordon (Terry-Thomas) they fail again. But the gang decides to kidnap his daughter.

Votes: 1,465
1/20-21 An unknown film with Orson Welles in which he directed HIS scenes and you can see the difference in styles. Sword fights and sumptuous costumes in this Alexander Dumas story. One if the silliest endings ever !
28. The Beachcomber (1938)
Passed | 92 min | Drama
In the Dutch islands, the sister of a pious missionary attempts to reform a womanizing, drunken beach bum.
Director: Erich Pommer | Stars: Charles Laughton, Elsa Lanchester, Robert Newton, Tyrone Guthrie
Votes: 346
1/21 Cute but sound muddled because of a lousy copy on youtube. Laughton already using with some of his distracting acting tricks. Interesting seeing Newton NOT using some of his acting tricks.
29. The Canterville Ghost (1944)
Passed | 95 min | Comedy, Family, Fantasy
The descendent of a ghost imprisoned for cowardice hopes to free the spirit by displaying courage when under duress.
Directors: Jules Dassin, Norman Z. McLeod | Stars: Charles Laughton, Robert Young, Margaret O'Brien, William Gargan
Votes: 3,345
1/22 Well, I've finally seen it ... still hate Mgt (Whiney) O'Brien and Dr Welby. Laughton gets a a list check mark but nothing more. Sadly, totally "meh".
30. The Old Dark House (1932)

Director: James Whale | Stars: Boris Karloff, Melvyn Douglas, Charles Laughton, Gloria Stuart
Votes: 13,105 | Gross: $0.03M
1/22 Presented with a choice of this or a sci-fi attack by aliens, I opted for this only to find that I had already seen it. Continued watching (being on a Laughton kick) .... what a convoluted, silly, not at all amusing mess ..even for 1932 !
31. Woman in the Dark (1934)
Passed | 68 min | Crime, Drama
A paroled prisoner hits a man who's attacking a woman, then runs away, scared that he killed the man (he did not). From the book "Woman in the Dark" by Dashiell Hammett.
Director: Phil Rosen | Stars: Fay Wray, Ralph Bellamy, Melvyn Douglas, Roscoe Ates
Votes: 607
1/22-23 Interesting mostly to see the younger versions of the very familiar cast members. Story only so-so with plot holes, flashbacks for no reason, unfunny comic relief and titles (it's aka Woman in the Shadows) that make no sense. Usually light and a hero, Melvyn Douglas is a heavy with no respect for Fay Wray's personal space when talking at her.
32. The October Man (1947)
Not Rated | 95 min | Crime, Mystery
When the murder of a young woman happens, her next-door neighbor is under suspicion due to his previous stay in a mental hospital.
Director: Roy Ward Baker | Stars: John Mills, Joan Greenwood, Edward Chapman, Kay Walsh

35. The Death Kiss (1932)
Passed | 75 min | Comedy, Crime, Drama
Murder during film shoot sparks search for a killer.
Director: Edwin L. Marin | Stars: Bela Lugosi, David Manners, Adrienne Ames, John Wray
Votes: 1,417
1/27 Interesting mostly for the re-union of Dracula, Van Helsing and Harker in a pretty routine pretty muddled who dunnit on a movie set during the filming of a death scene. The amateur detective handles and hides evidence, obligatory idiot real cops abound. Ending is so dark that it is not clear who DID dunnit other than by eliminating the characters who are still standing around laughing as THE END rolls.
36. The Greene Murder Case (1929)

Director: Robert Day | Stars: Boris Karloff, Anthony Dawson, Derek Birch, Dorothy Gordon
Votes: 2,040
1/29 Svengoolie ... Karloff in makeup in a faux Jekyll and Hyde role. Moments of almost scary but more of "that's just silly" and too much can-can dancing !

Votes: 1,030
2/1 Odd little movie with youngish Myrna and off kilter school teacher / scientist Barrymore ... some pretty funny pre-code lines and situations. Worth a watch.

A runaway heiress and her sister's husband join forces to race the latter's fast horse, Broadway Bill.
Director: Frank Capra | Stars: Warner Baxter, Myrna Loy, Walter Connolly, Helen Vinson
Votes: 1,160
2/3 Surprised to see this was a Capra film because it was an unknown Myrna Loy pick ...it's a little too long and heavy on the rush to bet and figuring the odds scenes BUT it was pretty good otherwise.A Loy/Baxter friendship more than the roaring romance on the poster. Spotting a blond Lucille Ball as a one line phone operator is a highlight as well as Auntie 'Em and Ward Bond a "henchman". Missed seeing Bess Flowers. Will keep an eye out for the remake.
44. The Criminal Within (1936)
Approved | 67 min | Crime, Mystery, Romance
