OF MICE AND MEN (1939) - Been meaning to watch this since I was a kid and became a Chaney fan. Finally caught it last night. Very moving and it deserves the high praise.  I love Lon's horror films, but as Adam said in regard to HIGH NOON, it truly is a shame he wasn't given more opportunities in other genres.

HIGH NOON (1952) - Great western. Had to rewatch being in a Chaney non-horror mood.

The Maltese Falcon, 1941

Love this movie.  Hadn't seen it in years, but I still know almost all the dialogue by heart - even the variations that were done for the shorter radio versions.

I don't know why this film made such an impression on me when I first saw it on TV.  I just know it's the all-time standard to which I compare all the 30's-40's detective movies.  ("Pretty good, but no Falcon.")

Have you ever seen either of the 2 earlier versions? I've seen the 1931 version, with Ricardo Cortez. (Dwight Frye plays "Wilmer".) It's not bad, but not the classic that Huston's remake is. Never seen the 1936 "disguised" version ("Satan Met A Lady").

Yeah.  I got the 3-disc set when it came out.  I know what you mean.

Sunset Boulevard (1950) 

Great movie.  Grabs you by the 'nads right from the opening shot of the body floating in the pool.

Fantastic film. Especially Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond. What a creepy performance.
