Broadway legend Margo Channing, aging but not gracefully,
has everything: a successful career,
close friends
and a man who loves her. She also
has a "fan" named Eve Harrington, who manages
to worm her way into Margo's
life in order
to "study her like a blueprint." Eve's sweet
facade is soon seen through by a number of people,
most quickly by theatre critic Addison deWitt,
who decides to become her mentor. Eve achieves her
goal of
Broadway stardom, leaving a trail
of unhappiness, but ultimately contentment, behind her.
Set in antebellum New Orleans during the early 1850's,
this film follows Julie Marsden through her
quest for social redemption on her own terms.
Julie is a beautiful and free spirited, rapacious
Southern Belle who is sure of herself
and controlling of her fiance' Preston Dillard, a successful
young banker. Julie's sensitive
but domineering personality forces a wedge between Preston and herself.
To win him back,
she plays North against South amid a deadly epidemic of yellow fever which claims
a surprising
victim.

DeLorean time machine back twenty years into the past. Now he must find Doc and convince him that he
is from the future in order for the Doc to send him back to the future, but this is the least of

A young neurosurgeon inherits the castle of his grandfather, the famous Dr. Victor von Frankenstein.
In the castle he finds a hunchback called Igor, a pretty lab assistant named Inga, and the old housekeeper,
frau Blucher - iiihhh! - Young Frankenstein doesn't belive in his grandfathers work until he discovers
the book where the mad doctor described his reanimation experiment. The whole movie is shot in black
and white to simulate the old monster movies of the past.
An obsessed scientist creates a living being from parts of exhumed corpses.
No longer so much a movie as it is a genuine part of popular folklore, the film itself shows its age,
particulary in the absence of a musical score. But the performances by Colin Clive and the great
Boris Karloff are the whole show. Truly a film everyone shoudl see at least once.
