Ive been revisiting the content of my old dvds and tbh many are pretty decent, even older films.
My Darling Clementine, 1946. Directed by John Ford and starring Henry Fonda, Victor Mature, Linda Darnell, Walter Brennan and Ward Bond.
One of the highest regarded westerns ever.

Stick with the 40's and Sullivan's Travels, 1941. Preston Sturges directs Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake.

Obviously a reference to Gulliver's Travels, satirist Jonathan Swift's book on a journey of self-discovery as well. This journey shows comedy is most important when folk are struggling.
Lake was 6 months pregnant when making the film so a body doub;le was used for much of it... Sturges was furious she didnt disclose it.. Lake may have been goergous but was apparently very difficult person.something that seems common with excessive beauty.
also the us censors refused it to be exported due to it being wartime and the scenes of the chain gang could have been used as propaganda against the country, so its overseas release was delayed... not sure by how long tho
up to nearer now with,
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. 2006. Directed by Gore Verbinski and stars Johnny Depp, Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom.

the second film in the series, and the highest grossing at over a billion in takings.
Mrs. B made me sit through Gone With The Wind last weekend.
Much to my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
its a very good film, although quite long.Quote:

It might be now - it wasn't when DVDs were first introduced.Quote:
