Movie Recommendations

One of the funniest movies ever for its barrage of sight gags, bad puns, and sick humor.

Americans love rebels. These two may have been scum in real life, but Newman and Redford are charmers in one of the best buddy movies on celluloid.

The tops in intelligent anarchy. Groucho is the leader of Freedonia, while Chico and Harpo are. . . . Does it matter? Simply a terrifically funny film.

Cary Grant as a scheming editor and Rosalind Russell as the ex-wife and stellar reporter he’s trying to woo back. The nonstop pace and lightning repartee mean you’ll want to see this more than once.

Ronald Colman crashes in Tibet and discovers Shangri-La, an earthly paradise.

Deft Ernst Lubitsch story of the clash between a coldly efficient Soviet inspector and Gay Paris in the 1930s. Garbo laughs!

The archetypal stranger who rides in, stands up for the farmers, and rides on. Jack Palance is the spookiest hired gun on film.

Holly Martin (Joseph Cotten) arrives in postwar Vienna only to learn that his best friend has been killed. How, and why? And who was the third man at the scene? Unforgettable zither score by Anton Karas.

I might just give Aliens (1986) an A for an excellent job raising the stakes while injecting some tension-breaking humor. Both deliver nail-biting human vs. monster battles. I didn’t like Alien3 and skipped Alien Resurrection entirely.
