Lilies of the Field
Sidney Poitier stars in this film about the strength of human vision and faith. Poitier’s Best Actor win was the first top Oscar for an African-American.
View Lilies of the Field »Night at the Opera, A
Another Marx Bros. classic. That’s just the sanity clause—that’s in every contract. You can’t fool me—there ain’t no Santy Clause. The stateroom sequence has a woman asking for her Aunt Minnie, possibly a reference to the boys’ mother, Minnie Schoenberg Marx. Would rate an A except for some dull romance interludes.

The tops in intelligent anarchy. Groucho is the leader of Freedonia, while Chico and Harpo are. . . . Does it matter? Simply a terrifically funny film.
View Duck Soup »His Girl Friday
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.
