Are you in search of hidden cinema gems?

There are plenty of them in the era of Classic Hollywood, so let’s rediscover some of the greatest creations, made by genius directors, featuring exceptional actors.

Since the amazing James Stewart, probably the best, or one of the best in Hollywood’s history, doesn’t receive today the attention that he deserves, it is a good idea to pay his memory a tribute.

I had the joy to see a few incredible movies starring him, and in my opinion, he should have been considered in the top three of Classic Hollywood’s Best Male performers.

Below, I have made a list of the ones I prefer.

James Stewart received two Oscars in his career, two Golden Globes, and very many awards and appreciations.

He worked with some of the best directors ever, like Hitchcock or Capra.

Their films remain to affirm Hollywood’s glory, which gave start to an entire culture, myth, way of life.
