Bogie and Bacall. Hepburn and Tracy. Add Newman and Redford to the list of all time great screen couples. They play the title characters, outlaws on the run from a sheriff's posse determined to bring them to justice. The action-packed western has plenty of snappy dialogue (Oscar for William Goldman) and peppy music (Oscar for Burt Bacharach). Hopefully, there won't be raindrops fallin' on your head while we screen this crowd pleaser. (1969) 110 Min. Panavision

A determined newspaper reporter (Clark Gable) pursues a runaway heiress (Claudette Colbert) in this madcap, romantic comedy. It was the first film ever to win all five top Oscars... Best Picture, Actress, Actor, Director (Frank Capra) and Screenplay. Age has only enhanced its charm and the hitchhiking scene has become legend. In 1998, a poll by the American Film Institute placed it at #35 on the list of 100 Best American Movies. (1934) 105 Min.

(Sony/Columbia)
Powerhouse drama, with a powerhouse cast, is set in Pearl Harbor, 1941. Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift and Frank Sinatra portray soldiers stationed in Oahu. Deborah Kerr and Donna Reed are the women who love them. Reed and Sinatra won Oscars, as did director Fred Zinnemann and the film. Based on the rather racy novel by James Jones, it was toned down to appease the censors, yet the best-remembered scene is Lancaster and Kerr's roll in the Hawaiian surf. (1953) 118 Min.

Movie fans all know about Norman Bates, his nutty, knife-wielding mother and their creepy motel ("12 cabins, 12 vacancies."). Did you know, however, that Alfred Hitchcock's most disturbing thriller was independently produced for less than $1 million and that the notorious shower scene (which took 7 days to shoot) required some 70 camera set-ups. That blood seen spiraling down the shower drain was actually Bosco chocolate syrup. Pure movie magic! (1960) 109 Min.
