April 5 is an important date on our calendar as three major movie stars were born on this day: Bette Davis, Gregory Peck and Spencer Tracy (and also Melvyn Douglas, Frank Gorshin and Walter Huston). To pay a tribute to them, I’ve decided to present you 3 little top 5 of 1- my favourite Bette Davis’ films, 2- my favourite Gregory Peck’s films and 3- my favourite Spencer Tracy’s films. These actors are all personal favourites and it’s been a long time since I haven’t post a traditional top list on this blog!
Remember that these are my personal choices, so thanks in advance for respecting them!

I thoroughly enjoyed this post! Gregory Peck is one of my favourite actors…try watch “Yellow Sky”. It is such a lovely western also starring Anne Baxter. He is the best bad boy in Duel in the Sun (it is one of those horrible but kind of good movies).

great pics Virginie!! How could they not be with these great actors. For Spencer Tracy may favorite performance was ‘Inherit the wind”, also one of my top 10 films. I agree with ” Guess who’s coming to dinner?”. His last speech is a classic!!
