Why go out to the theater when you can watch classic movies online. In these times people will notice that the films are more interested in taking an actor's clothing off rather than telling a good story. Years ago we had features that were produced by more creative minds that knew how to capture the audiences imagination. Character development was essential in the film making process also.

There was no shortage of talented actors in those days and every film would usually have a very popular star in the credits. Clark Gable, Bette Davis, Spencer Tracy and Miss Joan Crawford were the best and brightest of those days. America was proud to have them as representatives for the arts. Their skills were extraordinary and none of the actors in 2012 can match them.

Some of the films to be found are "Gone With The Wind", "The Great Lie", "To Kill A Mockingbird", "The African Queen", "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane", "Mildred Pierce", and "Gigi". These are all great films that were made in the golden days of Hollywood and no one can doubt that they were well written.

When you want to see a film that will take you away in time for a few hours then "Gone With The Wind" may be just the ticket for you. This is a great story about the American Civil war and the young lady who faced so many tragedies during that era. The viewer will follow her through her triumphs and failures that could possibly happen to anyone.

A screen legend like Bette Davis made "The Great Lie" one great story. Be sure to view this feature first since it tells such a terrific story. In the film there are two women who share a relationship with one handsome man. In the end one woman will stand tall while the other will admit defeat and leave.

The twisted tale of "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane" will make your skin crawl. This tells the story about siblings who become enemies after an accident. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford star in this unusual vehicle that has an ending that will make you think twice. Joan also plays the sister that viewers will feel sorry for at times.

Louis Jourdan is very pleasing in the film "Gigi". This story centers around a young girl who turns into a woman very quickly. There are many songs throughout the film but they do not get in the way of the major story. Mr. Jourdan shows off his good looks and singing style in this film.

Finally there is the great "Mildred Pierce". If you are going to watch classic movies online then this is the one to view. It tells the story about a mother and daughter who become bitter rivals because of a man. The mother becomes successful in her business which makes her child very jealous of her. Instead of behaving like parent and child they instead become rivals for a gigolo's affection. This also has a great ending that will surprise many people.
