I have the complete set of six The Thin Man movies staring William Powell and Myrna Loy. They are simply perfection, individually and collectively. Periodically I will pull them out and rewatch them in order, usually a couple a night for several nights. They’re only like an hour and a half each so that’s workable.
Occasionally I will get in the mood to go right to my two favorites – Shadow of the Thin Man and Song of the Thin Man. To be honest, I couldn’t tell you which of those two is my top favorite. I enjoy them equally just for different reasons. It’s odd because usually the first two are rated higher in lists, but I think Shadow and Song are the most fun.
Here is are the titles, in order, with links to their IMDB pages:
- The Thin Man (1934)
- After the Thin Man (1936)
- Another Thin Man (1939)
- Shadow of the Thin Man (1941)
- The Thin Man Goes Home (1944)
- Song of the Thin Man (1947)
