<p>My hobby is classic movies from the 1930s through the 1950s. I don’t think the streaming options out there really offer enough of them. Although if you get Turner Classic Movies on your cable service (and if your provider is not the awful Time Warner) TCM offers a terrific selection of movies to stream. One of the rare classic films I’ve found on Netflix is “The Lady Eve,” starring Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. It is wickedly funny – she plays a gal on the make, trying to take advantage of him in every imaginable way. She is amazing, as always, and he’s adorable. Please watch it!</p>
<p>Some of my other classic favorites (many already mentioned here): Swing Time and The Gay Divorcee with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Notorious and Indiscreet with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, Vertigo and Rear Window (Hitchcock, with James Stewart in performances that no actor today could do as well), Double Indemnity and Sunset Boulevard (Billy Wilder movies, as complex and sophisticated as anything today), All about Eve and Dark Victory (my favorites with Bette Davis). And so many more!</p>
