In love with classic movies? Want to know more about classic actors and actresses? Classic Movie Treasures allows you to find out about the best actors of the past century and movies that have shaped this art.
Classic Movie Treasures is a site devoted to what we think are the best classic movies. When we started thinking about this intro we were going to say that ALL classic movies are treasures, then we watched some real stinkers. Of course our opinion is just that, an opinion.
We have evolved into not only sharing our love of classic movies with you, but also now provide links to services which stream specific classic movies.
SCHEDULE
At least twice a week we add new mini biographies of your favorite Hollywood stars. These are usually associated with their birthdays.
On the first Fridays of the month we publish a recipe that is a quick and easy snack, adult beverage or meal because we love to cook and who doesn’t eat when they watch movies. After a while, popcorn can get a little boring.
On the last Friday of the Month we spotlight the TCM Star of the Month for the next month and give you our must-see picks.
EXPANDING OUR SITE
We are working on several BIG projects behind the scenes and once those are completed we will increase the number of new articles we publish each week.
One of the projects we are installing is a movie review systems which lets YOU share your opinion on movies. We are doing this in chronological order and have completed the 1910s, 1920s , and 1930s movies in our database along with the new movies we add each month. So if your favorite movie doesn’t have the form for you to submit a review it will soon.
MOVIES
We have over 1000 movies in our database and we add movies each month. You can browse the movie database “by actor“, “by genre” or “by decade”. We provide the links for each movie to the streaming services Amazon Instant Video, FandangoNow, iTunes if available. Most of the movies are available through at least two of these providers. If available, we will also have a link to the movie for you to purchase on DVD or Blu-ray through the TCM shop.
If you rent or purchase a movie through these links we will earn a very small commission (at no cost to you) from Amazon, FandangoNow, iTunes. or TCMShop. Earnings are used to support this site.
If you aren’t familiar with a particular movie, you can watch, in most cases, the original theatrical trailer to see what the movie is about. A few will contain a banner ad by the trailer provider that you can click the “X” to make it go away.
BIOGRAPHIES
We also have an actor/actress biography database. In addition to reading a short biography of the star, you can review their filmography, and Academy Awards information. New biographies are added on a star’s birthday. If your favorite actor, or actress isn’t in the database, it soon will be.
