The Maltese Falcon (1941)
Directed by John Huston
Not Rated <imdb>
A mysterious woman walks into the low rent office of a hard-boiled detective. We have seen it before; but here, in the office of Sam Spade, is where it all began. With a pace that quickens as tension mounts, Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Sidney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre are after one thing: The Maltese Falcon, a jewel-encrusted statuette, "the stuff that dreams are made of."

A Day at the Races (1937)
Directed by Sam Wood
Not Rated <imdb>
When the Marx brothers head out to the racetrack for a few laughs, describing the plot almost seems misleading. Needless to say, Harpo plays the harp, Chico cons everyone into thinking he can play the piano and Groucho dances and struts his way from one-liner to one-liner—this time as Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush, horse doctor and personal physician to the rich and gullible.

Broadway Melody of 1940 (1940)
Directed By Norman Taurog
Not Rated <imdb>
The fabulous dance team of Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell moves to the music of Cole Porter and the effect is electric! Two song-and-dance men vie for the affections of the same lady in one lavish production number after another. It simply doesn’t get any better than this.
