Yeah SGG. You can't go wrong with a good swashbuckler. :)

"Yankee Doodle Dandy" is a different one for Cagney as he sings and dances in it. He's very good and I just sort of fell in love with the film. Not sure if it was the first film I saw of his or not.

"Broken Arrow" is an old western and is very interesting to me as it shows a whiteman (Stewart's character) trying to learn about the Apache and help make some sort of peace between the peoples. He marries an Apache girl and when she is killed it is Cochise who stops him from trying to start another war.

"Quiet Man" is good fun with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. "Wife, I've brought the brother home to supper." After having a massive brawl with her brother over her dowry and getting drunk. :)
