Classic movies have such a….suave, smooth, beautiful, magical feel to them
With all of today's historical drama's like _The Crown_ and _Bridgerton, The Scarlet Empress_ would probably di extremely well if released today. It should really get a remake some day.
The Women is an absolute masterpiece!! My second favorite movie behind Imitation of Life. Lucile Watson who plays Norma Shearer's mother in the movie is an extraordinary gem!!
A movie that I never hear people talk about is "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir". It's one of my favorites of all time and I wish more people knew about it.
It's a great movie indeed
It was a big hit, like Oscar nominated and adapted for both radio and tv big, and yet too few people know about it
Yes The Ghost and Mrs. Muir is so terrific. Gene Tierney nails it in this beautiful film.
Oh I love The Ghost and Mrs Muir!!! Such a good movie and Gene Tierney was so beautiful 😍
Yes I have this one on DVD
The Women is iconic in its own right. Love the outside of a kennel line ❤
The Great Lie belongs on this list. It could have been just an average melodrama, but Bette Davis and Mary Astor's performances make it outstanding.
Mary Astor won an Oscar for that movie.
I agree I love that movie
Classic hollywood films are the best
The Women! "Often overlooked?" Whatever gave MsMojo that idea? I do agree, however, with the inclusion of The Scarlet Empress.
I'm a huge fan of classic cinema, but even these titles managed to get past me. I can't wait to check them out, so thanks a million for your recommendations! 💖🥰
TCM shows them all the time. They’re definitely worth checking out
The Women is one of my favorite movies of all time! I just watched it for the “millionth” time!
Hello 👋🏻
I love that you are doing more old Hollywood lists
The Women is 1 of my favourite movies along with Mrs. Miniver, The Thin Man, The man who came to dinner, and Christmas in Connecticut just to say a few.
I think Night Of The Hunter with Robert Mitcham and Shirley Winters is a great movie! The use of black and white is great!
Oh I almost forgot Arsenic and Old Lace, Harvey, the Thin Man, My Man Godfrey, You never can tell, What a Way to Go, Cabin in the Sky ………
"They Live By Night" - I saw 20 years ago by accident and fell in love with it.
"They Made Me A Fugitive" - Underrated film noir
"The Fugitive Kind" - IMO, the last good Marlon Brando film before he struggled in the 60s.
I don't think "Key Largo" is underrated at all imo
I love The Women. I've watched it dozens of times. I adore Rosiland Russel
Lady Eve , Ninotchka , His girl Friday , Notorious ,stalag 13, witness for the prosecution, long hot summer, trouble with Harry, inherit the wind , barefoot in the park, are also underrated.
My favorite has always been Arsenic and Old Lace.
1961's "The Innocents" is one of the most brilliant underrated films
What about "Stage Door"? Love the all-star cast, love the story line, love the clash of personalities between Hepburn and Rogers !!!!
So glad someone else loves this film.
@@kelleyceccato7025 Katherine Hepburn's reaction to the girl's suicide gets me every time!!!
The first 2 films I thought of were In A Lonely Place and Out of the Past. Nice pick Fail Safe.
Here's some others
Ball of Fire
Black Narcissus
The Night of the Iguana
Ace in the Hole
Shadow of a Doubt
They remade The Women in 2008 with a lot of stars. Still didn't measure up.
I watched the man who laughs and I was very pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I found myself actually enjoying it. If you get the chance to watch it do.
Loving these videos on classic movies!
A very underrated classic is 1959's Lana Turner/Juanita Moore led, Imitation of Life. It's a HEARTBREAKING film! Another is the Pre-Code Three on a Match, it's got drug addiction, adultery and a very young Humphrey Bogart. Those are 2 classics I recommend for film lovers
It's crazy how i prefer classic movies over anything made nowadays lol😂
Arsenic and Old Lace, Christmas in Connecticut, Stage Door, Double Indemnity, Old Man and the Sea,......
Oh me too! I really only like old movies haha 😄. I love Greer Garson's films. I highly recommend checking her out. Wonderful talent and very beautiful
The Women (1939) isn't really overlooked. Stage Door (1937), however, is. The Women is often cited as a feminist film, but it really isn't; yet the underrated Stage Door gives us flawed, funny female characters focused not on love/marriage but on finding success on the stage. That makes it, for its time, far more unique than The Women.
Stage door is my ALL TIME favorite film forever. Incredible cast, ridiculously funny, excellent plot that upholds important values about women being independent in a time where they were only prioritising finding a husband. The BFI in London screen it a few times a year and I always get a ticket. Cinema is always packed and it’s understandable why. So glad you love it too.
RKO's "Cat People" (1942) is a movie I rarely hear mentioned and it's amazing. So far ahead of its time with its frank discussions of women's sexuality and the power and fear it can inspire when women truly embrace it.
I've seen and own most of these movies. Fantastic cinema!!!
Out of the Past was updated in the 80's called Against All Odds. Jane Greer from Out of the Past is in Against All Odds as Rachael Ward's mother Mrs. Wyler.😊
Seen all but 2! If you love classics, you should know the majority of these gems!
Key Largo and In a Lonely Place are hardly unknown or underrated. The Women has its own classic status.
I've long loved The Scarlet Empress, but so many of the Dietrich - von Sternberg movies have been forgotten.
I highly recommend Make Way for Tomorrow. It was later remade in the 1950's called the Toyko Story. The remake was very good. One movie that is underrated God's Little Acre (1958)
The Roaring Twenties is another underrated film classic starring Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney
Great video
The Duke Is Tops (1938)- Lena Horne's film debut comes to mind.
Luv these movies on a rainy day😅
Fails Safe is so underrated (except by George Clooney) ... Strangelove mines the material for laughs but Fails Safe plays it straight. Greta performances by EVERY actor from FONDA to DELUISE
Now Voyager ,The Letter,Of Human Bondage,Mr Skeffington,All About Eve ,Jezebel,The Anniversary,The Nanny and In This Our Lives
Guess I’m a Bette Davis fan😂👀🎬🎥
Indiscreet is a gem! One of Bergman’s best!
We appreciate all your effort and hard work. God bless you all.
"War and Peace" (1956)
I bet you can tell which actors that I love by my picks. My Man Godfrey, The Libeled Lady, My Favorite Wife, I Remember Mama, and Life With Father. Maybe the only one that's really underrated is I Remember Mama but the others aren't mentioned enough.
Thank you Emily!
Key Largo and Out of the Past as underrated?? Both are staples of revival houses everywhere.
1964? ("Fail Safe) Since when is a movie made that late considered "classic Hollywood"?
Also, are there really people (above a certain age) who are unfamiliar with "Key Largo" with Bogie and Bacall??? I would think that that hit song from the 1970s would have driven people to that movie.
Besttt ❤
Every noir fan has Out Of The Past at or near the top of their list, with In A Lonely Place not far behind, so I can't call them underrated.
"There's a plethora of female filmmakers from Hollywood's golden age" 7:13 Actually, no. Female directors weren't rare in the silent era, but by the late 1930's there was only Dorothy Arzner. After her retirement, from the 1940's to the 1960's the ONLY female director to be found in Hollywood movies was Ida Lupino.
Make Way For Tomorrow is a genuinely underrated great movie. After years of film buffery, I had never heard of it before stumbling over it, and when I've recommended it to people I know love old movies, I have yet to find one who knew anything about it.
Ida lupino was a brilliant director and actress 😊
"Life Boat' with Tallulah Bankhead
I saw the film with Garfield and Crawford back in the 90's. It was good.
I've only seen fail safe on your list but I have HBO max that has a tcm hub my favorites are Gary Cooper and bette Davis movies
Larceny Inc. is a great film. Eddie G Robinson playing a gangster trying to straight and ultimately falling back to old habits against his will. Great flick
Out of the Past is the film I show non-film buffs when they want to know what film noir is!
Liked the women and and anything with Joan Crawford in it was good and Bette Davis I also liked Laura and leave her to heaven and anything with Barbara Stanwyck and Rita Hayworth is good too I am a classic Hollywood film fan my picture on CZcams is Rita Hayworth .
Anything with Robert Mitchum 🥰 Those bedroom eyes do it every time.
Check out Night Of The Hunter! A great black and white movie!
Katharine Hepburn the OG Kate
I have seen Key Largo, Humoresque and The Women. Love The Women, all female cast.
"The Women" was remake in 2008. It starred Meg Ryan, Jada Pinkett, Eva Mendes, Bette Midler and others. Needless to say, audiences and critics were very unkind. And rightfully so. Remakes are today's Hollywood's way of saying 'Duh!"
how about INTRUDER IN THE DUST? Especially with 1949 being way before the movies were generally considered to be into civil rights.
Gaslight (1944) starring ingrid bergman
I ❤️ Humoresque. One of Crawford's best performances. It's also one of my Top 3 Favorite Joan Movies. I do enjoy The Women, but can do without Norma. She's a bit boring.
❤
I like the list but none seem underrated to me, maybe i'm in a classic movies bubble but they are all very well-known in the circle of people i chat at twitter etc. Regardless, i've seen them all and they are indeed all great,.
3:14 So glad they clarified that Edward G. Robinson is currently dead. He'd only be 129 today. 😂 But seriously, these are all great classic flicks.
👍🏻
Rosalind Russell is the main reason i love "The Women" . Am i wrong or this movie devoid of men even as extras?
Make way for tomorrow and So proudly we hail.
"Hobson's Choice"
I would really love to watch old black-and-white movies. But I don't know where to watch them at so if anyone has any special places that I can watch them comment after my comment.
The Women is the best.
So I guess there was a grey and Steele before fifty shades of grey😂😂😂😂
In a lonely place is a good film
Loved “The Women”. Not a man in sight.
The remake “the Opposite Sex” is fun though not in the same league. Joan Collins, June Allyson, Ann Miller, and a handsome Leslie Nielsen still makes for an entertaining adventure.
The Women should've been Number 1 because it's one of the best films of 1939
They remade The Women a few years ago with Meg Ryan and it was awful
They did remake The Women, and it was horrible. They somehow managed to suck out all the charm and humor.
Anyone else annoyed by that irritating rock music in the background?
Today's movies are bad. I have actually seen all these classics. The Women is phenomenal. It is a very quotable film.
Out of the past is absolutely amazing film 🙂
