Yesteryear's studio system was rigid, but there was more diversity of genres. You had a delightful mixed bag of dramas, melodramas, comedies, screw-ball comedies, film noirs, westerns, musicals, documentaries, etc.
We have some good movies today, but classic hollywood is SO romantic, enchanting & highly entertaining. And b&w just adds to the mystique.
And there is ONLY one Bergman, Garbo, Bogart, Dietrich, K. Hepburn, Davis, A. Hepburn, Grant, Stewart, Stanwyck, Crawford, Astaire, Loy, Rogers, Powell, Fonda, Mitchum, Harlow, Temple, West, Gable, Cagney, E. Robinson, Monroe, E. Taylor... the list is endless!!!

Few faves:
Notorious - Alicia & Dev clinging to one another, walk down the longest stairs in film history, and leave a terrified Sebastian behind.
Random Harvest - Paula & Smithy FINALLY reunite.
The Best Year of Our Lives - Peggy & Fred plan a new life together & seal it with a kiss.
Laura - Waldo confesses his obsessive devotion to Laura & pays the ultimate price.
The Roaring Twenties - Eddie B. dragging his bullet-riddled body through the gutter.
Camille - Marguerite is desperately holding on to Armand, while slowly losing consciousness.
Queen Christina - that classic "the face" shot.
The Bells of St. Marys - a teary-eyed Father O/Malley, tells a teary-eyed Sister Benedict the real reason behind her transfer.
Bringing Up Baby - the hilarious high-flying act & admission of L-O-V-E by Susan & David.
The Adventures of Robin Hood - Robin & Maid Marion had the cutest smiles.
The Bachelor & The Bobby-Soxer -
Margaret: "you remind me of a man."
Dick: "what man?"
Margaret: "the man with the power."
Dick: "what power?"
Margaret: "the power of hoodo."
Dick: "hoodo?"
Margaret: "you do."
Dick: "do what?"
Margaret: "remind me of a man...give up?"
Honorable mention to Myrna Loy & William Powell in THE THIN MAN SERIES & Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire movies.

MP is one of my all-time faves. Crawford & supporting cast were terrific. Everything was just RIGHT, the lighting, the wardrobe, & the somber lush tone. Just watching Crawford & Arden interact & strut their stuff was great.
-
Olivia de Havilland - I still can't believe she didn't make AFI's list. And she's a 2 time Oscar winner!
Deborah Kerr - multi-nominee!
Irene Dunne - a true mystery!
Maureen O'Hara - they can remember The Duke but...
Joel McCrea - versatile but maybe too low-key.
-
Grace Kelly & Audrey Hepburn...two beautifully dressed fashion models.
-
