...before they are forgotten: decent quality movies available on youtube...for now...

Cyrano de Bergerac (1950) - I believe the most energetic rendition of Rostand's play with the incomparable Jose Ferrar in the titular role.
Dressed to Kill (1946) - the last of the Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce 'Sherlock' films.  Colorized as no one asked.
Rebecca (1940) - wonderful to have the beautiful Joan Fontaine and Laurence Olivier together in this story of murder and love.
Notorious (1946) - Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant and Claude Rains in a movie of spies, directed by Hitchcock: umm hmm.
Thirty Day Princess (1934) - let's you realize how long Cary Grant was working in Hollywood in leading roles.  Sylvia Sidney is a delight, but need to see her in a dramatic role next.
