As I recall every Thursday night they will show several of those fabulous films of that year. Some of my favorites: GWTW Gunga Din Wizard of Oz The Hunchback of Notre Dame Stagecoach Dark Victory The Rules of the Game Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:15:24 GMT http://ClassicFilmFans.tribe.net/thread/36522d1c-0cbc-4aa9-b6d5-6afa1e9b71aa#17148b5d-50bb-4951-b08d-75f2353b5887 $item.owner.firstName 2009-06-29T03:15:24Z http://ClassicFilmFans.tribe.net/thread/36522d1c-0cbc-4aa9-b6d5-6afa1e9b71aa#9785f731-dc0a-41d1-a8a1-bb12df992309 If you're old enough to remember "Science Fiction Theatre" and it's host Truman Bradley (who was also a radio announcer) you might recall that he is Pud's father (Dr. Northrup) who gives a ride to Mr. Brink, leading to his death in an automobile crash. This is after Mr. Brink (one of Sir Cedric Hardwickes' best parts) declines to ride with a coughing, tubercular, Hans Conried. "Aunt Demetria's a pismire!" I LOVE that movie.

That was a good year. my picks, in no particular order: - Destry Rides Again -- I love Westerns & Marlene Dietrich, so both together is fantastic! - Dodge City -- one of my favourite genres and Errol Flynn too! - The Wizard of Oz -- of course - Mr. Smith Goes to Washington -- Simply a superb film no matter the year. - The Women -- no explanation necessary I'm sure. - Ninotchka -- Not my favourite Garbo film by any means, but a good one for 1939. - Goodbye Mr. Chips -- a beautiful, emotional film with great acting. - Wuthering Heights -- A wonderful rendition of the classic novel. - Gone with the Wind -- Obviously.

Some of the visuals were quite impressive on a big screen (in a movie theater, that is). That plus the scope of the whole movie.

Who's in it? What's it about? Lionel Barrymore, Cedric Hardwicke & child actor Bobs Watson, who is terrific. Lionel's an old man who cheats Death by getting him to go up a tree, and then keeps him there. It was (or really appears to be) shot on the same set as the Kansas farm from "Wizard of Oz," released that same year. The play was revived on Broadway by the late George C. Scott.

It doesn't have the flash of many of the other masterpieces of that year, or even Howard Hawks' own catalog, but it gets its hooks in and never lets go. It reminds me of Michael Powell's masterpiece "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" which isn't spectacular like "The Red Shoes" or "Black Naricssus" or innovative like "Peeping Tom", but it's the one that moves me the most because it seems the most attached to real human characters.
