What's your fave Joan Crawford movie(s)?

I think my very favourite Joan Crawford movie is 1947's Humoresque. She's also outstanding in 1932's Grand Hotel (a movie I'm not overall enthusiastic about). 1941's A Woman's Face also is terrific. Ditto 1939's The Women.
I actually like and enjoy Miss Crawford in every/any movie that she's in.

RKO brings Astaire from Broadway to Hollywood in '33, to film Flying Down to Rio, which goes into rehearsal, but is delayed for production. RKO then lends Fred to MGM for Dancing Lady, making Joan his first on-screen dancing partner.
Meanwhile, Tone wants the best for Crawford although she doesn't realize it, and Gable wants the worst for her although she doesn't realize that, either, so the plot turns into one of those unique triangle prototypes because she just wants to make it as a dancer.
Those Stooges now include Curly, after Shemp, who appears in their first full-feature, Soup to Nuts (1930) now solos as a character actor, before rejoining the trio after Curly's final teaming, making it four for three in 1947's Hold That Lion! - who appears as a train passenger during the chase. This is the only film to feature not only all four of the original stooges together but also the three Howard brothers - Moe, Curly, and Shemp - in the same film.
