The Stranger (1946)
The Most Deceitful Man A Woman Ever Loved ! The Stranger stars Orson Welles , Loretta Young and Edward G Robinson . Although, I think "stars" is more a matter of status as opposed to performance in this film. Sometimes, both in this movie and the way he appears to have lived, Orson Welles seemed a bit over the top. But I've often wondered if that was Welles' schtick or maybe he really was just larger than life!

Dark Passage (1947)
This is One of Those Movies for Me Dark Passage , while not the best picture of all time, certainly was entertaining and engaging. I suppose anytime you get Bogie and Bacall together, it's just hard to not enjoy the movie! I think the premise was fun escaped convict trying to prove his innocence and has back-alley
I Wake Up Screaming (1941)
Genre Defining So, this is one of the classic Film Noir movies. In my opinion if you are going to teach someone who knows nothing about Noir, this movie has to be in the top 10. I wake Up Screaming is considered only the second Film Noir movie in the genre, and sets the mood, even more than did The Maltese Falcon .
The Red House (1947)
Creepy Doesn't Begin to Describe It OMG! I just watched one of the creepiest movies of all time! I dunno, maybe I'm overstating it a little, but this movie was seriously creepy. I ran into The Red House quite by accident on YouTube and I'm so
The Big Sleep (1946)
The type of man she hated . . . was the type she wanted ! I can still remember the first time seeing this movie. It was back in the '70s and I was just a dumb kid sitting on the living room floor eating popcorn with the rest of my family. Even back then I knew this movie was special even if I didn't understand a lot of what was being said.
