We have chosen five movies that are sometimes overlooked but are great films nevertheless.
Two of them are movies we have seen for the first time... "Easy Living" with Jean Arthur and Edward Arnold.
And "There's Always a Woman" with Joan Blondell and Melvyn Douglas.
We have included "The Man Who Came to Dinner," which stars Bette Davis and AnnSheridan, but it's Monty Woolley who steals this film.
"Desk Set" with Kathryn Hepburn and Spencer Tracy... and "Pillow Talk" with Doris Day and Rock Hudson.
You may have seen these films and forgotten about them, or never heard of them. They share one thing in common... All of them will make you laugh.

GIGI
Nominated for nine Oscars, Gigi won all nine. We have watched this 1958 film countless times over the years without once questioning its content. But this year, in the era of the Epstein files, we examine the appropriateness of an adult Playboy and his relationship with an underage girl.
Deborah LaVine, the Dean of the School of Filmmaking at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, joins us to discuss Gigi.
Despite winning the Academy Award for Best Picture, none of the actors, Leslie Caron, Louis Jourdan, and Maurice Chevalier, were nominated for their roles. Can we still enjoy Gigi today? Listen to our podcast and find out.
