- DirectorFrank CapraStarsGary CooperBarbara StanwyckEdward ArnoldA penniless drifter is recruited by an ambitious columnist to impersonate a non-existent person who said he'd be committing suicide as a protest, and a social movement begins.Honestly, my favorite film of the year.

One of the best monster films ever as well. 8/10
- DirectorCharles FrendStarsAlec GuinnessHarry LockeFrederick PiperA seasick sea Captain commands an amusement pier despite local opposition.Endearing, and damn funny. The fight scenes in this are also top notch considering the era. 8/10
- DirectorJohn HustonStarsHumphrey BogartMary AstorGladys GeorgeSan Francisco private detective Sam Spade takes on a case that involves him with three eccentric criminals, a gorgeous liar and their quest for a priceless statuette, with the stakes rising after his partner is murdered.Definitely a cool film, but not without its faults either. A very good film, but also a touch overrated by many in my view. 7.5/10
