Mr. Smith Goes To Washington

Five Stars: ˜˜˜˜˜

Every kid wants to grow up to change the world and in this 1939 classic, one guy gets the chance to do just that. A twist of fate lands Jimmy Stewart in Washington as a senator and he’s all starry-eyed to get started making a difference—only to discover that the ideals he’s been championing are subject to procedure and policy and politics. After all the fancy parties are over, he must rediscover his faith in the very people and principles that are America.

“I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness and a little looking out for the other fellow, too.”

“I know, it was a wonderful party, and your suit went over big, and she looked beautiful, and when you left she said, ‘Thank you, Mr. Smith,’ but it was the way she said it, you nearly fell through the floor.”

“I let him talk me into staying. Secretary to a leader of little squirts! Why? Because I need the job and a new suit of clothes!”

The Adventures of Robin Hood

Five Stars: ˜˜˜˜˜

In 1938, one of the first great action/adventure films was released and has been an industry standard ever since. Few have been able to capture the elusive combination of wit, charm, chivalry, and good old-fashioned swashbuckling embodied by Errol Flynn. Bursting with pageantry and larger than life characters, the essence of the Robin Hood legend is fully realized in every brash insult and daring escapade.

“If he's not we'll stick your head upon the target and shoot at that.”

 “Why, you speak treason!” – “Fluently.”

“May I obey all your commands with equal pleasure, sire!”

Casablanca

Five Stars: ˜˜˜˜˜

Without a doubt, I consider this to be the greatest movie of all time. It was released at the beginning of WWII, but its theme is perpetually applicable both to personal and political situations. As individuals try to survive, they must also consider what is morally right for all those whose lives they affect. I am grateful that like so many other classics, this has film has not been subjected to a remake—nobody could ever hope to compare to the original performances of Bogart and Bergman. If you have not seen this masterpiece, go! Find it now!

“Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.”

“If someone loved you very much, so that your happiness was the only thing that she wanted in the world, but she did a bad thing to make certain of it, could you forgive her?”

“Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
