Your Next Movie Download Might Be One Of These Interesting Films

With the thousands of films released in the past hundred years, deciding on movie downloads can be quite a chore. Newer releases quickly dominate older films. But there are still many classics that are worth a second or third look, or in some cases, a first look.

Possibly the best movie ever made about the Titanic is the 1958 film, "A Night to Remember". This British production featured a huge cast, including David McCallum, Kenneth Moore, and Honor Blackman. Many survivors, both passengers and crew members, were interviewed in the process of writing this story. This added much detail and factual data missing from other films about the sinking.

John Wayne made many films, but there are a few that stand out, and not just because they starred John Wayne. "Stagecoach" is credited with making him a star, and is an excellent film. However, his performances in "The Shootist", "The Quiet Man", "The Sands of Iwo Jima", "The Searchers", and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" were some of the most outstanding ones he ever turned in. And another of his films, "The High and the Mighty" was the first of the disaster films offering an ensemble cast. The movie, made in 1954, was unavailable for a long time and has only recently been offered on DVD. It concerns an airplane in serious trouble halfway between Hawaii and California.

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.

If horror is your preference, the 1973 film, "The Legend of Hell House" stars Roddy McDowell as a medium who returns to the house that almost took his life. And of course, "The Exorcist" and "Poltergeist" have stood the test of time and remain classics.

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.

Mystery buffs might prefer films like "Death on the Nile", "Rebecca", "Witness for the Prosecution", or "Murder on the Orient Express". Or is you are in the mood for a screwball comedy, you might like "Bringing up Baby", starring Cary Grant, Hope and Crosby in "Road to Utopia" or "Hold That Ghost" with Abbott and Costello.

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.
