Showcasing Bogart and Bacall at the height of their talents, it sizzles with energy.
(Country: US; Year: 1946; Director: Howard Hawks; Writer: William Faulkner, Leigh Brackett; Stars: Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, John Ridgely, Martha Vickers)
The pairing of the silent, brooding tiger-like masculinity embodied by Sundance with the quick wit of Cassidy is a classic formula.
(Country: US; Year: 1969; Director: George Roy Hill; Writer: William Goldman; Stars: Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Katharine Ross, Strother Martin, Henry Jones, Jeff Corey, George Furth)
Sizzling and sassy, this thriller still cuts it amongst today's effects-laden offerings.
(Country: US; Year: 1944; Director: Billy Wilder; Writer: Billy Wilder, Raymond Chandler, based on the novel by James M Cain; Stars: Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, Edward G Robinson, Jean Heather, Tom Powers, Porter Hall, Byron Barr, Richard Gaines, Fortunio Bonanova)
The tone remains upbeat despite all the dodgy dealings, making this a cheery and entertaining film throughout.

There may be no chemistry between Rock and Doris and the jokes may be tired, tedious and misplaced, but hindsight will always provide a warped perspective.
(Country: US; Year: 1959; Director: Michael Gordon; Writer: Stanley Shapiro, Maurice Richlin; Stars: Doris Day, Rock Hudson, Tony Randall, Thelma Ritter, Nick Adams, Marcel Dalio, Allen Jenkins, Lee Patrick)

Taylor has the capacity to be dowdy yet glamorous, crude yet sensual at the same time. This is a career best performance for her.

(Country: US; Year: 1942; Director: George Stevens; Stars: Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Fay Bainter)
