Some other Stewart classics from the 40s - 50s.
The Philadelphia Story. (1940)
He won the Academy Award as best leading actor for this film.
Call Northside 777. (1947)
Winchester '73 and Harvey. (1950)
The Glenn Miller Story. (1953)
The Far Country. (1954)
Anatomy of a Murder. (1958)
The Spirit of St. Louis. (1957)
A few of my favorite films directed by Billy Wilder.
Double Indemnity.
The Lost Weekend.
Sunset Boulevard.
The Apartment.
Days of Wine and Roses. (1962) directed by Blake Edwards.
The Man with the Golden Arm. (1955) Directed by Otto Preminger, this is a gripping film starring Frank Sinatra as a herion addict.
That's a great list of recommendations, thanks. I already have all the Wilder films (Love the guy; I've just bought The Seven Year Itch and Stalag 17 plus a couple others that I can't remember) but aside from that I don't have any of those, so cheers. The Man With The Golden Arm sounds awesome.
All Quiet On The Western Front (1930). Classic movie about World War I. Way ahead of its time.
I've got that one but thanks anyway, and you're right, massively ahead of it's time and absolutely thrilling to watch
🙂
My (Uncompleted) "Wish-list" is below, mostly compiled from the shortlists for the AFI's 100 Years Series (And by the way, Yes I do have better things to do with my time other than make this list, but I choose not to...).
