I've been watching a truckload of movies on TCM. Tons of oldies but goodies:

A Star is Born (Judy version) - wonderful film that seemed to mirror Garland's real life here and there. I like the ending a lot.

Footlights Parade - Cagney the tough guy dancing a couple of steps here and there. It has that lovely 30's banter that I love so much:

Nan Prescott: You scram, before I wrap a chair around your neck!
Vivian Rich: [Angrily] It's three o'clock in the morning - where do you want me to go?
[Nan starts to speak, but Vivian immediately cuts her off]
Vivian Rich: You cheap stenographer...
Nan Prescott: Outside, countess. As long as they've got sidewalks YOU'VE got a job.
[Shoves her out, gives her a swift kick in the rump, and slams the door behind her]

Golddiggers of 1933 - Dick Powell was so cute when he was a young lad.

Grapes of Wrath - A classic. The more and more I re-watch Fonda films the more I like him.

The Wrong Man - a rare weak Hitchcock film. Apparently the only Hitchcock film that he narrates. (A short intro at the beginning.)

Farmer Takes a Wife - another Fonda. It was okay. Sorta dull.

I'm half-watching a Marion Davies film right now that appears to have some lesbian undertones to it. Not sure what it's called...

ETA: The MD movie is Blondie of the Follies.
