10. Leading Lady Tournament: 1970s Results

9. I’ll Be Seeing You (1944)

Some Joseph Cotten fans visited the site, I see.

8. My Interview with Jane Withers

Another week of love for Jane!

7. Classic Movie Actresses Tourney: 1950s Bracket

Seriously, is there a phrase in these tourney posts that are picking up spam. Not one, but two of these received high traffic.

6. The Exorcist (1973)

Getting a jump on Halloween, everyone?

5. The Films of Jean Harlow: Reckless (1935)
