It’s that time again – time for my annual recommendations of movies that you’ve probably never seen. The following list is completely unscientific. It is composed of movies that I have seen and enjoyed, and I do not claim that every movie on this list has artistic merit – only that you will probably enjoy these films if you give them a chance. Here, in no particular order, are a few suggestions for the next time you are surfing, streaming or purchasing movie treats.

The Shop Around the Corner (1940) – This is the perfect movie to represent the spirit of small businesses, as featured in this month’s issue of Elmore County Living. Beloved screen legend James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan shine in this romantic comedy film that served as the inspiration for the blockbuster Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan pairing – You’ve Got Mail. As evidence of its enduring popularity, The Shop Around the Corner is listed in Time Magazine’s list of the “All-Time 100 Movies to See.”
