Ninotchka and Paris When It Sizzles are two that come right to mind.

Egads - I can only hope the comments do indeed bring about the "career suicide" mentioned in the article. What a dope.

Holy cow - how could I not have heard of classicflix before??? I've had nothing but good experiences with Netflix so far, but now that I've seen classicflix and how tailored it is to my particular interests I'm going to let them give Netflix a run for their money for a while. I'm signing up this instant and, if they're a good and reputable company, hopefully others on this site will support them too so they'll be able to stick around and compete against bigger competition.
Thank you so much for mentioning them here!

I also offer this information (impartially) in case anyone cares about this when deciding what companies to support. I believe this information is from 2006.
Netflix & Blockbuster Political Contributions:
The BuyBlue.org site tracks the political contributions of companies.
Netflix donated $13,000 to the Democrats (72%), and $5,000 (28%) to the Republican party, and Blockbuster donated $98,400 (40%) to the Democrats, and $146,100 (60%) to the Republicans.
I'm not affiliated with any party and I'm posting this for informational purposes only.

BAD BAD BAD
JULIE WAS ROBBED!

The Littlest Rebel Without a Cause - Juvenile delinquent Shirley Temple struggles to forge an identity, fit in with her peers and save her father who was captured by the Yankees in this Civil War drama/musical.
-
And just imagine if she had been in The African Queen, as well. How silly would that film be?
-
Woman of the Year of Living Dangerously - Hilarity ensues when Sam Craig and Tess Harding take their marital sparring on the road heading to Indonesia during a political insurrection.

Days of Wine and Roses - Brandy Alexander

>I saw 2001 at Grauman?s Chinese Theater in Hollywood on a big Cinemascope screen and with stereo sound. Most people who saw it didn?t understand it, but we were awed by the special effects, which were of a new kind back then. It?s not quite as effective seeing it on a small TV screen.
I saw Titanic (1997) at the Chinese Theater when it came out and was blown away by it for the same reasons you mention regarding 2001. Now, whenever I catch it on TV I ask "what was I thinking? This is dreadful" but then when I recall the big screen/state of the art experience, I'm reminded of why it was such a big deal when it was in theaters.

"You don't mean you suspect me of killing (insert name here), do you?"

>So, uhh, you are saying that there is now a medical genetic test that can determine which males will laugh hysterically at the Three Stooges, and which ones will giggle incessantly during The Women?
Well, let's just say that it's still in its clinical trials awaiting FDA approval, but anecdotally the evidence is looking good that it's fully accurate.

I would gladly pay a fee to be able select from a large list of films available to watch online much like the "watch it now" feature on Netflix, but I would not pay a fee simply to see what they happen to be broadcasting at any given moment in time.

I'm a gay man. Of course I'm a fan of THE WOMEN. It's part of my genetic makeup much the same way straight men are genetically programmed to laugh hysterically at The Three Stooges.

Most of the time I can barely stomach Andy Griffith, can't watch his old TV shows he's so annoying, but A FACE IN THE CROWD is absolutely one of my all time favorite movies and he's brilliant in it.

>(I'm sure Robert Walker blew his brains out having lost her to Selznick).
Sadly, I think a more apt description is that he drank himself to an early death. Such a waste of talent.

IMHO, Ordinary People's reputation suffers a bit today because it beat out Raging Bull for Best Picture and that film's stature has grown incrementally over the years (deservedly, I suppose) but I think Ordinary People becomes a bit of a "whipping boy" for beating it much the same way that Mrs. Miniver gets such a bad rap for beating Citizen Kane.

From what you've mentioned, I think you'd also like some of the classic films directed by John Huston such as:
The Maltese Falcon
Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Key Largo
Asphalt Jungle
African Queen
Beat the Devil
Moby Dick (1956)
The Misfits
Night of the Iguana
The Man Who Would be King

King Adolf XV: This is unheard of. Flausenthurm without an "h?" Don't they know, in Vienna, how to spell my country?
Princess Anna: It's a deliberate insult, Papa. They're trying to make us feel, just because we've a little country, we shouldn't have so many letters.
Princess Anna: Papa, you may not realize it, but I'm desperate. I'm no longer responsible. I'm capable of anything. If you don't let me have my Lieutenant, do you know what I'm going to do?
King Adolf XV: What?
Princess Anna: I'm going to marry an American!
Count Rudolph: I have a system that can't miss. If I happened to be standing beside a brunette I bet on red. If I am standing next to a readhead I bet on black.
Armand: But suppose you're standing next to a blonde. What do you do then?
Count Rudolph: I ask where she lives.
Professor Olivier: When I married her, she was a brunette. Now you can't believe anything she says.
Radio Commentator: From Geneva comes the news that the famous international crook, Gaston Monescu, robbed the peace conference yesterday. He took practically everything except the peace.
Lily Vautier: Don't you remember the day you took that Chinese vase from the Royal Palace? And you made it into a lamp for my night table.
Gaston Monescu: I remember the lamp, I remember the night table... and I remember the night.
Lily Vautier: You see, mother is dead.
Mariette Colet: Yes, that's the trouble with mothers. First you get to like them, and then they die.
