Mame -- Lucille Ball, in her final feature film appearance, plays Auntie Mame, loving life and living it to the hilt with her nephew and assorted eccentrics in tow.

Carousel -- Filmed on location in a beautiful seaside village, Carousel stars Gordon MacRae as Billy Bigelow, a smooth-talking carny man who falls in love with a millworker (Shirley Jones). Tragedy strikes these star-crossed lovers, though, and their journey is not easy. How Billy makes his way to Heaven and back again, providing love and solace to his wife and daughter, and redemption for himself, is the story of one of the most unique and powerfully uplifting musicals ever written. With a score that includes 'If I Loved You' and 'You'll Never Walk Alone,' little wonder that Carousel was composer Richard Rodgers' personal favorite.

Screen legends Warren Beatty, in an auscpicious debut, and Natalie Wood are perfectly cast in this sensual, sentimental and romantic drama set in rural Kansas. At the end of the Roaring '20s, Wood and Beatty are teens in love, torn apart by family and sexual and peer pressures. At the beginning of the Great Depression, Wood is an emotionally broken young woman who revisits her past while trying to rebuild her life. Oscar-winner Elia Kazan ("On the Waterfront," "East of Eden") directed, and the screenplay by William Inge ("Picnic," "Bus Stop") won an Oscar, with a nomination for Wood. Recently selected by the prestigious American Film Institute as one of the 400 greatest American films of all time.

Debbie Reynolds ("Singin' in the Rain," "Mother") received an Oscar-nomination for her portrayal of a determined backwoods gal who aspires to become the wealthiest woman in Denver during the late 1800s. Not only does she succeed, she also survives the sinking of the Titanic! Nominated for six Oscars, including Best Score, this high-spirited musical classic is based on a true story. Also stars Oscar-winner Ed Begley ("Sweet Bird of Youth") and Oscar-nominee Hermione Baddeley (TV's "Maude").
