What I love and why I love it -- mainly classic stars and movies of the golden age. Backstories, links, sidelights -- details like these increase your enjoyment of classic films. What do they say to us now? Who were we then, and how did we solve our problems? What did we believe -- and what have we forgotten?

The Great Performances List
I've added another list. This one is of great performances, because sometimes an actor can burst from the screen with something wonderful even if the film is little more than mediocre. It's not necessary to point out that Errol Flynn is fantastic in Captain Blood; but who would think to look for great film acting in a little Deanna Durbin vehicle? But it's there. PS It doesn't have to be a serious role!
