Movie Recommendations

Arguably the best film about the corruption of Hollywood and the need to be a star.

Searing examination of the real meaning of innocent until proven guilty. Henry Fonda battles 11 other jurors in a search for truth and justice.

Right-on-target story of bike racer Dennis Christopher and his friends dealing with approaching adulthood.

Spencer Tracy is a computer technician out to modernize company librarian Katharine Hepburn’s office.

Cary Grant, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and Victor McLaglen take on a Thuggee assassin cult to protect a British outpost and plunder some treasure. The original buddy adventure movie.

One comedy writer-director of the 1940s stands out from all the rest. With a unique take on almost everything conventional, Preston Sturges brilliantly and almost singlehandedly continued the screwball comedy tradition of the 1930s, producing some of the funniest films ever made in a nearly unparalleled burst of creative energy—then just as quickly faded away….

The terrific Lerner & Loewe melodies more than make up for loss of Pygmalion‘s social commentary.

Leslie Howard as the English noble who risks his life to rescue French aristocrats from the guillotine.

Great sendup of the classic Westerns, with James Garner as a drifter reluctantly recruited to be sheriff in a lawless gold town.

See it on the big screen if at all possible. Then go beyond the obvious plot of a computer-controlled mutiny in space to explore the questions of human origin and our destiny in the cosmos.
