More than three quarters of a century after its release, the original King Kong is one of those rare, great films that stands up to endless repeated viewings, each time revealing something new. "Scream Queen" Fay Wray and Robert Armstrong star in this RKO Radio Pictures classic, but it is Kong who steals the show. Brought to life on the silver screen by Willis O'Brien's pioneering stop-action animation, the monstrous gorilla rips apart dinosaurs on Skull Island, wreaks havoc in Manhattan, and bats bi-planes out of the sky above the Empire State Building. But, despite his rampages, is Kong just a destructive beast? Or is Kong a creature that, in his own way, just wants to do the right thing?

William Faulkner loosely adapted Ernest Hemingway's novel for this thrilling tale of a down-on-his-luck American ship captain in Martinique who reluctantly smuggles French resistance fighters through a net of Vichy police and Gestapo agents. The remarkable chemistry between Bogart and Bacall is breathtaking and their romantic banter throughout the film remains the stuff of Hollywood legend.

Alfred Hitchcock directs one of his most suspenseful films - climaxing in the famed 12-minute sequence at London's Royal Albert Hall, where composer Bernard Herrmann conducts the London Symphony Orchestra as a sniper takes aim at his target. Doris Day's song "Que Sera, Sera" is not only an integral part of the plot, but won the Oscar for Best Original Song.

When the fed-up Judge bangs her gavel, she decides Morgan doesn't deserve half... she deserves it all. Morgan gets everything—the house, Raymond’s retirement, and some would say even his self-esteem, leaving him with nothing but the thought; it would have been cheaper to keep her. Raymond has two options to prevent him from paying alimony: kill Morgan or get her married off to someone else. As ex-husband and ex-love face off with each other, broken hearts will get revenge; hearts and marital matrimony will collide!
