Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939)
Robert Donat is Professor Chipping who is shy and awkward
with his students. He is brought out of his shell when he
meets Greer Garson. Perhaps my favorite movie. |

Maureen O'Hara and a young Roddy McDowell star in this
portrayl of of Welsh coal mining family. |
I Remember Mama (1948)
Irene Dunne is the matriarch of a Norwegian immigrant family

Mrs.
Miniver (1942)
Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon portray middle class
British life at the outbreak of WWII. Movie can be
sentimental, but remember it was released while the war
was still being fought.
|
Pollyanna
(1960)
Orphan lives with rich aunt in a town where everyone
is grumpy. Child's positive outlook is viewed as sappy,
but the citizens eventually realize their lives would be
richer if they acted like her. Watch this movie and you
will too. |
Pride and Prejudice (1940)
Greer Garson is Elizabeth Bennet and Laurence Oliver is
Mr. Darcy in this verision of the Jane Austen novel. |

Random Harvest (1942)
Ronald Colman stars as a WWI amnesiac victim who marries
Greer Garson. But when he regains the memory of his
prior life, he forgets who he was in the intervening
years. |
Rebecca
(1940)
Joan Fontaine stars as Laurence Oliver's young second
wife who is being driven crazy by everyone's memory of
the first Mrs. de Winter. |
The
Shop Around the Corner (1940)
Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullivan work in a Budapest
gift shop. Witty dialogue holds up even today. Great
movie. Much better than Nora Ephron's remake: "You've
Got Mail." |
