Spencer Tracy

[skatss]

Now Spencer Tracy is one of the greatest actors you can ever see on film. Spencer Tracy had such talent. He could play brilliant evil men, slightly mentally backwards men, adventure lead, romance lead, great old man roles, comedy, drama, slapstick, light romantic -- there wasn't a role he couldn't do and not one that he wasn't permitted to do.

I know some people who are below a certain age might not know his work, but if you really love films, you have GOT to watch some of his movies. Get some really old ones to see him if you only know of him from Guess Who's Coming To Dinner his last film.

Here are just some of his movies I recommend:


Shanghai Madness 1933

Dante's Inferno 1935

Captains Courageous (1937)

Stanley and Livingstone (1939)

Boys Town (1938) In fact see ALL the Boys Town movies!

Test Pilot (1938)

Tortilla Flat (1942)

Bad Day at Black Rock (1955)

Inherit the Wind (1960)

The Old Man and the Sea 1958

And see all the movies with the love of his real life, Katharine Hepburn.

I grew up watching old movies on TV and I love Spencer Tracy. He was amazing. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of his films again.
