I contacted the members of the Filmspotting forum and these films were recommended as Essential James Stewart Films:- You Can't Take It with You (1938)*
- Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)**
- It's a Wonderful Life (1939)**
- The Shop Around the Corner (1940)
- The Philadelphia Story (1940)**
- Call Northside 777 (1948)
- Winchester '73 (1950)*
- The Naked Spur (1953)
- Rear Window (1954)**
- Vertigo (1958)**
- Anatomy of a Murder (1959)*
- The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)*
- Harvey (1972)**
* never seen and obtainable
Three films are not available (so far) from my rental service or from the local brick and mortar video shops. So those may have to wait until I get back stateside.
I'll write mini-reviews because I know you are all dying to know what I thought of each film.
