Rope -- Crushed by the unbearable weight of the way things are, a young man decides to die.

Oscar-winner Joan Crawford ("Mildred Pierce") and Oscar-nominee John Garfield ("Gentleman's Agreement") star in this Oscar-nominated romantic drama about a classical musician from the slums who is sidetracked by his love for a wealthy neurotic.

James Stewart, Farley Granger and John Dall star in this macabre spellbinder, which was inspired by a real-life case of murder. Two thrill-seeking friends (Granger and Dall) strangle a classmate and then hold a party for their victim's family and friends, serving refreshments on a buffet table fashioned from a trunk containing the lifeless body. When dinner conversation revolves around talk of the 'perfect murder', their former teacher (Stewart) becomes increasingly suspicious that his students have turned his intellectual theories into brutal reality.
