[i]Gone With the Wind[/i] - A Civil War Epic
A sweeping movie about the Old South, the Civil War and the adventures of Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler, 'Gone with the Wind' is the epitome of a star-studded Hollywood blockbuster based on a best-selling novel. A soap opera, a period piece, a costume drama and a Civil War epic all rolled into one of the most famous films of all time.

[i]Ben Hur[/i]
One of the greatest sword-and-sandal epics ever filmed, 'Ben Hur,' stars Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins and Stephen Boyd in a magnificent, thrilling story of the Roman Empire and the birth of Christ. They just don't make 'em like this anymore.

[i]Casablanca[/i] - Bogart and Bergman in a Timeless Romance
'Casablanca' is the movie on just about every "top ten" list in the known galaxy. With Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in a great romance, it's a thrilling wartime drama with an unforgettable ensemble cast. Play it again, Sam!

Swiss Family Robinson
The timeless Disney classic adventure movie, the plucky Swiss family Robinson, shipwrecked on a desert island, builds a fabulous tree house, cavorts with exotic animals and battles pirates. A rollicking good time.

To Have and Have Not with Bogart and Bacall
The chemistry sizzles between Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, who met and fell in love on the set of 'To Have and Have Not.' A diverting wartime classic film by Howard Hawks, set on the French island fo Martinique in World War II.

'The African Queen' - Bogart, Hepburn and the Little Boat That Could
'The African Queen' is the only screen pairing of Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart, a rip-roaring adventure movie with a satisfying love story. Director John Huston's sweeping film is set in colonial Africa during World War I. It pits English spinster Hepburn, scruffy Canadian expat Bogart and their plucky little boat, the African Queen, against the Germans.

[i]Stalag 17[/i] - Suspicion in a POW Camp
A compelling study of human nature set in a WWII POW camp, 'Stalag 17' is also a sly dig at the red-baiting of the communist era. Billy Wilder directed William Holden to a Oscar for his cynical perfomance as the outsider in 'Stalag 17'.
