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.
I'm almost sure that Netflix has the CC movies. A few years ago I bought quite a few CC movies that were finally released on DVD. I agree Keye Luke was great.

Another favorite of mine are the old Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple movies. Her expressions were priceless. I have these on DVD too.
