The great McGinty: An opportunist (Brian Donlevy) turns corruption into a promising political career but struggles to stay on top when he tries to go honest.

Christmas in July: Hope springs eternal when an office clerk (Dick Powell) mistakenly believes he's won a coffee slogan challenge and spends the "prize money."

The lady Eve: It's the ultimate battle of the sexes when a wealthy heir (Henry Fonda) falls (literally!) for a con woman (Barbara Stanwyck) with a shady past.

Sullivan's travels: In this comedic masterpiece, a wealthy director (Joel McCrea) wants to find "real" people for his next great film (co-starring Veronica Lake).

The great moment: This stirring biopic follows the fascinating life of W.I.G. Morton (Joel McCrea), a 19th century dentist who successfully develops the first anesthesia.

Hail the conquering hero: A quirky soldier (Eddie Bracken) gets an unexpected homecoming when a group of uproarious marines decides to "make" a hero out of the comic misfit.
