Some must sees:

Of course, "Little Caesar"!

But then, "Double Indemnity" don't miss it.

"Larceny, Inc." with Anthony Quinn playing a heavy. Look for a very young Jackie Gleason in his first film, as a soda jerk. An amusing comedy.

"Scarlet Street" iconic noir with Edward G cast against type as the patsy. Directed by Fritz Lang. And Joan Bennett! Dan Duryea as the iconic oily bad guy.

"The Cincinnati Kid" the best poker movie ever. What a cast! Who would think that a card game could be this compelling and exciting? Joan Blondell is a real surprise. Pay attention to Cab Calloway.
