	Rain Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $2.74 As unrepentent, sinning prostitute Sadie Thompson. Joan screams, "You can tell your God that Sadie Thompson is on her way to Hell! Reportedly, Joan's dying words in 1977 were "Don't you dare ask God to help me!" I guess Joan still had some of Sadie inside her.
	Dancing Lady Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $7.89 A young, vivacious, and especially alluring Joan stars as a dancer who struggles to succeed on Broadway and capture Clark Gable's heart. Joan dances with Fred Astaire (in his movie debut) here. Joan and Gable were occasional lovers off-screen for a few years, as well.
	The Women (Keepcase) Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $6.50 "Bad Joan": She's actually "Bad is Good Joan," the way we love her best, makes her first appearance here in this 1939 Classic. As husband stealing Crystal Allen, Joan gets the best parting shot in this cinema cat-fight. "There's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in polite society... outside of a kennel."

	Mildred Pierce (Keepcase) Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $5.50 Dumped by MGM, with her career in the dumps for a few years, Joan goes to Warner Brothers & grabs an Oscar as Mildred Pierce. Hardworking Mildred sacrifices everything for bratty daughter Vera (Anne Blithe), who doesn't appreciate Mother Mildred one bit!
	Humoresque Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $4.00 As a wealthy Arts patron/benefactress, Joan has got it bad for sexy John Garfield... and that ain't good!

	Sudden Fear Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $15.99 Sudden fear is often what I feel when watching a "Joan Crawford late career" film! But Joan earned an Oscar nomination as a playwright who discovers that husband Jack Palance & his girlfriend Gloria Grahame are plotting to kill her!
	Torch Song (1953) [VHS] Buy used from: $3.78 Decades removed from "Dancing Lady," Joan returns to MGM as a screaming Broadway shrew who is tamed by Michael Wilding as her BLIND pianist!!! Were they serious? From the looks of it, JOAN ACTUALLY WAS!!!
	Jonathan The town isn't big enough for both Joan Crawford and Mercades McCambridge!!!!!!
	Queen Bee Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $9.89 Joan in "Control Freak" Mode AGAIN. But this time, she uses riding crops. So I like "Queen Bee" much more than "Harriet Craig."

	The Best of Everything Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $7.02

After playing wheelchair-bound Blanche, who is victimized and tortured by Joan's career rival/Hollywood hag Bette Davis, Joan feigned illness so she wouldn't have to star in another film with Davis. I don't blame her. But this macabre mess revitalized both Bette and Joan's movie careers. Go figure!
	Strait-Jacket Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $5.49 Joan is out of the loony bin, after killing her husband and his lover with an axe decades earlier. Can Joan stay sane? OH NO... Somebody is running around killing people with an axe AND they're wearing a Joan Crawford Halloween Mask with a matching dress!

	Not the Girl Next Door: Joan Crawford: A Personal Biography (Thorndike Press Large Print Biography Series) by Charlotte Chandler Buy new: $31.95 / Used from: $9.85
	Mommie Dearest by Christina Crawford Buy used from: $6.48 After Joan's death in 1977, daughter Christina got some revenge with her scathingly vitrolic "Memoir" that forever cast Joan in the public eye in the role of Mother From Hell.
	Mommie Dearest (Hollywood Royalty/Special Collector's Edition) Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $4.75 Technically, this is NOT a Joan Crawford film, of course. But Faye Dunaway just goes CRAZY and, Yes, "BERSERK" as Christina's Evil Joan Crawford!! Faye's career went & stayed in the toilet after this one, which definitely belongs at the bottom of "The Joan Crawford Trash Bin."
