CHARADE (1963) (113 min.)
Starring: Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Mathau, James Coburn, George Kennedy.
Directed by Stanley Donen.
After her husband is murdered, a young woman (Hepburn) finds herself on the run from crooks and double agents who want the $250,000 her husband stole during World War II. In this mystery/comedy, Cary Grant helps Hepburn find the fortune while Mathau, Kennedy and Coburn get in the way. Hepburn and Grant are charming and sophisticated in this stylish intrigue filmed in Paris.

HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940) (92 min.)
Starring: Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell and Ralph Bellamy.
Directed by Howard Hawks.
Regarded as the best of Howard Hawks comedies, this film is based on The Front Page, a play by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur. Hawks has converted the gentle spoof of newspapers and reporters in the original into a hilarious battle of the sexes. Rosalind Russell is the reporter bent on retirement while Cary Grant is her editor, bent on maneuvering her out of it and winning her heart in the process. This film represents one of Hawks most furious and inventive screen combats in which women are given uniquely equal footing, with staccato dialogue and wonderful performances.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (1960) (72 min.)
Starring: Jack Nicholson and Dick Miller.
Directed by Roger Corman.
This seminal Roger Corman classic revolves around a geek working in a city florist shop who unknowingly cultivates an intelligent plant that demands human meat for sustenance. The film is notable for the appearance of the then unknown Jack Nicholson as a masochistic dental patient. It is a hilarious, unpretentious farce which, while reputedly filmed in three days, is among the funniest ever made in its genre.

A BUCKET OF BLOOD (1959) (66 min.)
Starring: Dick Miller.
Directed by Roger Corman.
Cult favourite Dick Miller stars as a sculptor with a peculiar “talent” for life-like art work. Dick Miller is a nerdy sculptor whose secret is pouring wet clay over the bodies of murder victims. The resulting contorted sculptures make him a superstar among the cognoscenti. This film has fantastic similarities with Little Shop of Horrors and is noted for its excellent beatnik atmosphere.

ANGEL AND THE BAD MAN (1947) (101 min.)
Starring: John Wayne, Bruce Cabot, Irene Rich and Gail Russell.
Directed by James Edward Grant.
When notorious gunfighter, Wayne, is wounded in a shootout, a pacifist Quaker family takes him in and nurses him back to health. Wayne is smitten by the daughter of the family who tries to keep him from returning to his ways. She succeeds, but not before Wayne deals with the dirty outlaw that killed his pa. An excellent performance by Wayne.

MCLINTOCK (1963) (127 min.)
Starring: John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara and Stephanie Powers.
Directed by Andrew V. McLaglen.
Wayne stars as a tough cattle baron with a refined wife (O’Hara) in this rowdy western. O’Hara returns from the east after a two year separation seeking a divorce and custody of their daughter. Wayne as the cantankerous husband and O’Hara as the feisty wife enter into a battle royal in this classic western.

39 STEPS (1935) (81 min.)
Starring: Robert Donat and Madeline Carol.
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
Another classic Hitchcock thriller. Using the style and technique that were to make him famous, he gains immediate audience sympathy for the plight of his central character who, while visiting England, is implicated in the theft of national secrets and murder. This thriller features some of the most often copied set pieces and surest visual flair of Hitchcock’s pre-war period.

THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
(1935) (83 min.)
Starring: Peter Lorre, George Curzon and Leslie Banks.
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
This film was Hitchcock’s first big international success. The film revolves around a British family man on vacation in Switzerland who is told of an assassination plot by a dying agent. His daughter is kidnapped to force his silence. In typical Hitchcock fashion, the innocent person is caught in a web of intrigue that culminates with surprising events during the shootout in its final scene.

THE LITTLE PRINCESS (1939) (91 min.)
Starring: Shirley Temple.
Directed by Walter Lang.
Based on the Francis Hodgsen Burnett children's classic, this is probably Shirley Temple’s finest film. Shirley plays a young school girl in Victorian London sent to a harsh boarding school when her army officer father is posted abroad. Her father is declared missing in action, casting Shirley into the role of a servant at the school who never believes that her father has died.

HEIDI (1967) (100 min.)
Starring: Maximilian Schell, Jennifer Edwards, Michael Redgrave and Jean Simmons.
Directed by Delbert Mann.
This adaptation of Johanna Spyri’s classic children’s novel tells the story of an orphaned girl who goes to the Swiss Alps to live with her grandfather.
