There have been so many movies made over the last century that it can be hard to choose titles for your movie downloads. New films seem to appear daily, crowding out older ones. However, there are many movies that remain true classics but are often overlooked.

The 1958 movie, “A Night to Remember” could be the best film about the sinking of the Titanic. The cast included notable British actors such as Kenneth More, David McCallum, and Honor Blackman. At the time, there were still many survivors still alive who shared details that added authenticity to the production.

Everyone considers John Wayne one of the most prolific stars of the American cinema. “Stagecoach” is often cited as the role that made him famous, but he turned in better performances. Among his best were “The Searchers”, “The Shootist”, “The Sands of Iwo Jima”, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”, and “The Quiet Man”. His 1954 film, “The High and the Mighty” was the original airplane disaster movie, and, like later films of the type, had a cast of stars. The action is set on a flight that comes into dire circumstances over the Pacific Ocean. It was kept off the market for many years and was rarely seen.

Fans of romantic comedies might like “The Philadelphia Story” with Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and James Stewart. Hepburn plays an upper crust society icon who is about to remarry. Grant is her ex-husband who arranges for reporter Stewart to cover the wedding for a tabloid. “Pride and Prejudice” starred Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson in a 1940 adaptation of the novel by Jane Austen.

For horror fans, there is “The Legend of Hell House” from 1973 with Roddy McDowell as a psychic returning to a haunted house that nearly killed him several years earlier. “The Exorcist” remains a classic in the genre, as does “Poltergeist”.

Two truly interesting films that many have never seen are “55 Days at Peking” and “The Gods Must Be Crazy”. The first covers the siege of the foreign compound in Peking during the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. It stars Ava Gardner, David Niven, and Charlton Heston. The second is the story of a soda bottle thrown from an airplane and found by a tribe of Bushmen, who think it a gift from the gods. However, it causes jealousy, contention, and strife in a society that had known only peace. One young man volunteers to carry it to the end of the world and throw it off the cliff. Along the way, he is aided by some offbeat and hilarious characters.

Good mysteries to consider include “Rebecca”, “Death on the Nile”, “Witness for the Prosecution” and “Murder on the Orient Express.” Or if you want your comedy broad, check out “Hold That Ghost” with Abbott and Costello, Cary Grant in “Bringing up Baby” or one of the Road pictures Hope and Crosby made, such as “Road to Utopia”.

Other worthy titles include “Ice Station Zebra”, “Damn the Defiant!”, “Pork Chop Hill”, “Marty” and “Command Decision”. Once you start looking, however, you will no doubt find that there are thousands more which are as good or better.
