My other favorite movie series are the Charlie Chan movies. I prefer Sydney Toler to Warner Oland.
I also enjoy the The Saint and The Falcon movies too.
I love old "B" detective movies from the 30's-40's. I LOVE old "B" movies in general. My all time movie is "The Thing from another World". The acting is superb. John Carpenter's "Thing" is very good also, one of the few times the remake is good.

I always enjoyed the Charlie Chan movies. I realize they perpetuate a very painful stereotype for many Asians .... well, that and it bugs them no end that the character wasn't even played by an Asian actor. For those two reasons, they haven't gotten much play on most stations, I suppose it's understandable ... I still think it's a shame.
I also love all the old detective movies, and the original Thing (James Arness did such a great job as an evil vegetable).
I may have to see if the CC movies are available on Netflix. I'd like to watch them again, if only to see Keye Luke, who was an amazing actor.
