Burnt Offerings [Oliver Reed, Karen Black]
Burnt Offerings (1976) starring Oliver Reed, Karen Black, Bette Davis, Burgess Meredith
Burnt Offerings is a very different, and very effective, haunted house movie. At no time does the audience see any sort of ghost or malevolent entity. Only the effects on the people in the house, making it more frightening.

The Manitou
The Manitou (1978) starring Tony Curtis, Michael Ansara, Susan Strasberg, Burgess Meredith, Stella Stevens
The Manitou is, quite frankly, one of the cheesiest monster movies of all time — one of those that’s so bad, you watch it with friends to make fun of it.

Advise and Consent
Advise and Consent (1962) starring Franchot Tone, Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton, Walter Pidgeon, Burgess Meredith, Gene Tierney, Peter Lawford
In short, Advise and Consent is one of the best political intrigue movies that I’ve ever seen. The basic plot involves a very ill President of the United States (Franchot Tone) who wants to nominate for Secretary of State a senator. A man with a small secret in his past (played beautifully by Henry Fonda – a great performance). The Senate Majority Leader (a wonderful performance by Walter Pidgeon) tries to line up the votes. But he’s being undercut by a zealous young senator (Don Murray). And, on the “other side of the aisle” by a Southern senator (played by Charles Laughton in his final performance), a man who views himself as a kingmaker, using the other senators and people like pawns on a chess board.
