Have Seen:

  1. The Bride Of Frankenstein: An elegy to arranged marriages.
  2. A Night At The Opera: Includes the classic stateroom scene and the opening scene in which Groucho grouchos it up: “Nine dollars and forty cents?!? This is an outrage (hands bill to female dining companion). If I were you, I wouldn’t pay it.”
  3. Mutiny On The Bounty: Best Picture winner starring Clark Gable in the Fletcher Christian role.

Haven’t But Should:

4. The Informer: John Ford won a Best Director Oscar for this film about an IRA member who informs on his boss to the Black and Tans.

5. Captain Blood: Errol Flynn’s first starring role as a buckler of swash, and the first of what would be eight films he did with Olivia de Havilland.
