NEW TO ME:
Kennel Murder Case (1934) William Powell, Mary Astor, Eugene Paulette. Powell as Philo Vance solves the case. Astor wears great fashions of the day. Vance has a black Scottish terrier in this one and only the rich messed with dog shows back then. 6/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024210/combined
Young Catherine (1991) Julia Ormond, Mark Frankel, Franco Nero, Chistopher Plummer, Vanessa Redgrave. Story of the German Princess brought to Russia to marry the heir to the throne. Gorgeous costumes and scenery. Interesting story. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103311/combined
The Great Gatsby (2013) Leonardo deCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire. The story has been filmed enough already. Leo is quite good as Gatsby. Silly useless people doing silly useless things.
