"You're right, Hope Davis."
Calling all Classic film fiends! What is on instant that you know about and recommend?
We need two lists. The popular ones (for classic newbs) and the more obscure ones so those of us who watch classics may find new ones to enjoy. Remember, this is Instant only.
More Obscure:
* Balls of Fire
* To Be or Not To Be (1942)
* Heartbeat
* Magic Town
* Foreign Correspondent (this beat our Rear Window as my favorite Hitchcock film)
* Any of the early Alfred Hitchcock films, most are available for Instant.
* I Was a Male War Bride
* The Third Man
* My Favorite Brunette (only if you're a Noir lover though)
More Popular:
* My Man Godrey
* Arsenic and Old Lace
* Double Indemnity (this is one of my favorite classics of all time)
* Dial M for Murder
Phew! That's it for the moment.

By the way, "Balls" of Fire is an entirely different film than Ball of Fire.
