Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $29.65
In The Big Sleep, Lauren Bacall sweeps Bogart, and every man in the audience, off his feet by merely explaining how to whistle. In Key Largo she plays a good girl with a quick tongue, and Bogey doesn't play a gangster in a great thriller set in the Florida Keys.

How the ideal of beauty went from Marilyn to Twiggy so quickly is unfathomable. She was the walking epitome of sex appeal.
We're Not MarriedWe're Not Married
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.99
With Marilyn Monroe, Ginger Rogers and an absolutely adorable Mitzi Gaynor, this light hearted and charming comedy of errors can overcome even the presence of the supremely annoying Zsa Zsa.

A wonderful screwball comedy where William Powell is picked up off the scrap heap by Carole Lombard and hired to become the butler to a lovably dysfuntional family.
Nothing SacredNothing Sacred
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $2.07
Very funny, and by today's standards, completely politically incorrect, Carole is totally charming as a girl who is misdiagnosed with a fatal disease that becomes the toast of New York.

Howard Hughes' Hell's AngelsHoward Hughes' Hell's Angels
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $5.99
The movie that catapulted Jean Harlow to stardom. I can only imagine that in 1930, the special effects blew the audience away like Star Wars did with the audience of 1977.
GildaGilda
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $6.09
In a great example of film noir, Rita Hayworth is the new wife of an Argetine bar owner, and the former lover of said bar owner's right hand man. The dialog is crisp and crackling, while the sex appeal and sexual tension could be cut with a knife.
