I Love Classic Movies

Electrical Engineer / Computer Programmer. I love classic movies, mainly from the 30s & 40s. For 15+ years I've collected movies from silents through the 50s.

Just thought I'd take a break from listing my favorite classics (of which there are many more to go) and give a shout out to a couple YouTube channels. I frequent these because they often review some of the lesser known classics.

@LaurasMiscMovie Excellent point. The clues are subtle enough throughout that it's a valid point to raise. I usually cover all my bases when I watch mysteries anyway, and point the finger at everyone sooner or later. That way when the killer's revealed I can say, "See, I was right." 🙂😆

[I Love Classic Movies @nifty_rick]

@LoveOldMoviez 😆 Yeah, that would be tough. 😂

Fleeing a murder charge, trapper Stewart Granger and Cyd Charisse create a warm sanctuary in the frozen wild.

When lonely Mountie Wendell Corey tracks him down, circumstances and their humanity force him to rethink the law and the importance of intention.

The Wild North (1952)

@bizclouder Awesome. Thanks for the reply. 👍

Hope you like it as much as I do.

Orphaned stable boy Mickey Rooney will do anything to save his horse, even if it means enlisting the help of drunkard Wallace Beery.

Little does he realize that he isn't just gambling to save the animal, but he's on a path that might rescue all three of them.

Stablemates (1938)

@Nostalgicshaz Congratulations! 🎉

[I Love Classic Movies @nifty_rick]

@CeciliaQuick @LaurasMiscMovie As a heads-up, she's not in it a lot unfortunately, but imo it's still a very good movie. Any fan of Van Heflin will definitely enjoy it.

[I Love Classic Movies @nifty_rick]

@LaurasMiscMovie I like this one a lot. Hope you enjoy it too. 👍

@WallaceReid_ I first saw him in The Notorious Sophie Lang (1934) where he's a riot. I love how he keeps saying, "Sufficient." 😆 I've seen him in a few other movies too, like Only Saps Work (1930), and he's always brilliant. He's one of my all-time favorite comedians, for sure.

[I Love Classic Movies @nifty_rick]

@WallaceReid_ He's really funny. It's his goofy mannerisms that stand out to me the most. I picked up all four volumes of the Leon Errol Collection and love every episode. It's hilarious how much trouble he can inadvertently get into with his wife. 😆😂

[I Love Classic Movies @nifty_rick]

@baileymarkham @WallaceReid_ He's my favorite too. If he hadn't kept such a tight rein on his movies he'd probably be much less obscure than he is.

@LoveOldMoviez The first time I saw this, I didn't know they were married either. I learned about it later, somehow. Probably by reading a review.

Judge Fredric March keeps his wife Florence Eldridge’s fatal illness a secret so she can enjoy her final days.

Both suffer bravely, and through her tragic fate he learns a vital lesson about justice.

Intentions matter when rendering a judgment.

An Act of Murder (1948)

Hmm... My tastes don't always jive with the majority, but to me this is a 998. The only reason it isn't 1000 is because the subject matter is a bit heavy, though even the heaviness is very well balanced. I've seen a lot of movies revolving around a terminal illness, and you'd be hard pressed to find a better example than this. It hits very deep emotionally, and also teaches an important lesson. The fact that both leads were married in real life may be what pushes this that extra mile. It has two scenes that turn me to jelly emotionally and physically rattle me. But again, my favorite Fredric March movies are a bit out of sync with most, so YMMV.

@LaurasMiscMovie I'll have to dust this one off as I'm struggling to remember it. The story sounds wonderful. My copy is okay but has tell-tale VHS warping at the bottom. With so many rarities hitting Blu-ray, this is another reminder that many worthy films are still left behind.

[I Love Classic Movies @nifty_rick]

@LaurasMiscMovie @KinoLorber @KLStudioClassic 👍 I'll chime in once I've upgraded and rewatched, but it might be a slower turnaround than usual. I just dropped a bundle on astrophotography gear and am now licking my financial wounds. It's one of those love/hate hobbies that only resurfaces when I feel like suffering. 😆

@LoveOldMoviez The writing on this show is really good. What a great phrase: "...its most sought after commodity is also the least definable."

@LoveOldMoviez @TarzanandJane7 Not sure of there are multiple Quincy Institutes out there, but this is the handle I followed: @QuincyInst
