5 Fingers (1952)
A great picture that will take you by surprise.
For some reason, this movie is virtually forgotten. Rarely showing up on TV and never mentioned in film books, I had never so much as heard of it. But being a James Mason fan, I found myself watching it one night. I was blown away. The best description I can give of this picture is that it is a Hitchcock movie without Hitchcock. Absolutely rivetting.
Spite Marriage (1929)
Hearty recommendation of a little seen film
Although it is not a masterpiece in a league with "The General" or "The Navigator", "Spite Marriage" does contains several of the funniest moments Buster Keaton ever committed to film. I find that this picture serves as an ideal introduction to Keaton for my friends who are not fans of silent pictures. One such friend commented after viewing it, that it was "the most consistently hilarious movie he had ever seen." Buster Keaton's final silent picture, it contains a vintage Vitaphone musical setting.
