1	Show Boat (1951) more movies like this directed by George Sidney featuring Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel, Ava Gardner, Joe E. Brown, Marge Champion The third and (to date) last film version of the Edna Ferber/Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein II musical Show Boat falls just short of greatness but is still a whale of a show. Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson are in fine fettle as irresponsible gambler Gaylord Ravenal and showboat ingenue Magnolia Hawks. The plot adheres closely to the Broadway ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $17.15!
2	A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935) more movies like this directed by Max Reinhardt, William Dieterle featuring Ian Hunter, James Cagney, Grant Mitchell, Olivia de Havilland, Mickey Rooney, Ross Alexander, Victor Jory, Hobart Cavanaugh, Joe E. Brown, Dick Powell Max Reinhardt's legendary Hollywood Bowl production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream was transferred to the screen by Warner Bros. in 1935. Like most of Shakespeare's comedies, the story contains several seemingly unrelated plotlines, all tied together by a single unifying event, in this instance the impending wedding of Theseus and ... see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!
3	Pin-Up Girl (1944) more movies like this directed by H. Bruce Humberstone featuring Betty Grable, John Harvey, Martha Raye, Joe E. Brown, Eugene Pallette Despite the film's title, Pin-Up Girl offers surprisingly few glimpses of the famed Betty Grable "gams." This lively Technicolor musical casts Gable as Lorrie Jones, secretary at a USO canteen frequented by handsome servicemen. Falling in love with war hero Tommy Dooley (John Harvey), Lorrie contrives to be near him wherever he goes by posing as a ... see all copies from $3.33! new only from $15.76!
4	The Lottery Bride (1930) more movies like this directed by Paul Stein featuring Jeanette MacDonald, John Garrick, Joe E. Brown, ZaSu Pitts, Robert Chisholm Based on "Bride 66", a tone poem by composer Herbert Stothart, The Lottery Bride takes place in a distinctly Hollywoodized Norway. Ever on the lookout for extra cash, heroine Jenny Swanson (Jeanette MacDonald) coerces her sweetheart Chris Svenson (John Garrick) to participate with her in a three-day marathon race. When the exhausted couple fails ... see all copies from $18.36! new only from $18.36!
5	Fit for a King (1937) more movies like this directed by Edward Sedgwick featuring Joe E. Brown, Helen Mack, Paul Kelly, Harry Davenport, Halliwell Hobbes In this romantic comedy, a rookie reporter works for his uncle's newspaper and gets assigned to write a story about an elderly archduke. While interviewing him, the young journalist falls in love with the crown princess. He then exposes a conspiracy to kill her and her father. Mayhem ensues as he successfully thwarts the killers, and marries the ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $4.99!
6	Beware Spooks! (1939) more movies like this directed by Edward Sedgwick featuring Joe E. Brown, Mary Carlisle, Clarence Kolb, Marc Lawrence, Don Beddoe Though Joe E. Brown's starring vehicles of the late 1930s-early 1940s were on the whole decidedly inferior to his earlier Warner Bros. films, some were better than others. In the "better" category is Columbia's Beware Spooks!, a hectic comedy-mystery set on Coney Island. On the strength of the reputation of his famous police-officer father, ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
7	Polo Joe (1936) more movies like this directed by William McGann featuring Joe E. Brown, Carolyn Hughes, Richard "Skeets" Gallagher, Joseph King At the time of its release, Polo Joe was critically lambasted as the worst Joe E. Brown starrer to date. Compared to his later non-Warners efforts, however, it's not so bad: the biggest criticism that can be levelled against it is that it's virtually indistinguishable from Brown's other 1930s vehicles. The plot and comedy of the film can be summed ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
8	Joan of Ozark (1942) more movies like this directed by Joseph Santley featuring Judy Canova, Joe E. Brown, Eddie Foy, Jr., Jerome Cowan, Alexander Granach The sure-fire combination of Judy Canova and Joe E. Brown paid off in big laughs and excellent box-office returns in the bizarre wartime musical Joan of Ozark. While hunting quail near her home, hillbilly Judy (Canova) catches a carrier pigeon bearing a message for a ring of Nazi spies. She turns the bird over to the FBI and is lauded as a heroine ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
9	Flirting with Fate (1938) more movies like this directed by Frank McDonald featuring Joe E. Brown, Leo Carrillo, Beverly Roberts, Wynne Gibson, Steffi Duna Flirting with Fate is one of the lesser Joe E. Brown vehicles for independent producer David L. Loew. Brown is cast as Dixon, the manager of a third-rate vaudeville troupe stranded in a mythical South American country. Completely broke, Dixon hits upon a plan to finance the actors' trip home: he'll take out a huge life insurance policy, then ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
10	So You Won't Talk (1940) more movies like this directed by Edward Sedgwick featuring Joe E. Brown, Frances Robinson, Vivienne Osborne, Bernard Nedell, Tom Dugan In this comedy of mistaken identity, a bookish literary reviewer bows to the desires of his lover and shaves off his whiskers. Suddenly he finds himself in trouble, for without the mustache, he is the spitting image of a gangster who has just been released from prison. When the mobster's gang sees the reviewer, they immediately assume he is the ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
11	The Tender Years (1947) more movies like this directed by Harold D. Schuster featuring Joe E. Brown, Richard Lyon, Noreen Nash, Charles Drake, Josephine Hutchinson While appearing in the stage production Harvey, comedian Joe E. Brown was persuaded by director Harold Schuster to accept the atypically serious starring role in The Tender Years. Though hardly his first dramatic film appearance, it was undoubtedly Brown's best. The star is cast as kindly turn-of-the-century rural minister Will Norris, who takes ... see all copies from $24.99!
12	Riding on Air (1937) more movies like this directed by Edward Sedgwick featuring Joe E. Brown, Guy Kibbee, Florence Rice, Vinton Haworth, Anthony Nace A lesser but no less amusing Joe E. Brown vehicle, Riding on Air was adapted from a series of Saturday Evening Post stories by Richard Macaulay. Brown and Vinton Hayworth play Elmer Lane and Harvey Schumann, two rival small-town newspaper reporters who spend half their time fighting over stories (including a juicy murder yarn) and the other half ... see all copies from $5.88! new only from $5.88!
13	When's Your Birthday? (1937) more movies like this directed by Harry Beaumont featuring Joe E. Brown, Marian Marsh, Fred Keating, Edgar Kennedy, Maude Eburne On the whole, Joe E. Brown's vehicles for independent producer David L. Loew were distinct retrogressions from his films at Warner Bros., but When's Your Birthday? still contains some very funny moments. This time, Joe plays Douglas Willoughby, a mild-mannered astrologer who through a series of incredible plot twists becomes a prizefighter. Though ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
14	Wide Open Faces (1938) more movies like this directed by Kurt Neumann featuring Joe E. Brown, Jane Wyman, Alison Skipworth, Lyda Roberti, Alan Baxter In this crime comedy, a fortune is stolen and every gangster in town is looking for it. They all end up staying at a young woman's inn. The crooks all end up jailed thanks to the work of an innocent fountaineer. Not only does he collect a substantial reward, he returns the missing loot and wins the heart of the innkeeper.

Brown, William Collier, Jr., Marjorie White, Holmes Herbert In this comedy, a carefree carouser creates trouble for his cousin the chaperone as they go 'round the world. Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
16	Earthworm Tractors (1936) more movies like this directed by Ray Enright featuring Joe E. Brown, June Travis, Guy Kibbee, Dick Foran, Carolyn Hughes Joe E. Brown was an ideal choice for the character of Alexander Botts, the brash, arrogant "natural born salesman" created for The Saturday Evening Post by William Hazlett Upton. As a representative for the Earthworm Tractor company, Botts tries to convince old-fashioned lumberman Guy Kibbee to buy his newfangled products. Several disastrous ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $4.99!
17	The Gladiator (1938) more movies like this directed by Edward Sedgwick featuring Joe E. Brown, Man Mountain Dean, June Travis, Dickie Moore, Lucien Littlefield The most successful of Joe E. Brown's post-Warner Bros. efforts, The Gladiator finds cavern-mouthed Brown winning a cash prize at a movie theatre, then using his windfall to attend college. The son of a legendary athlete, clumsy Brown is unable to live up to his dad's reputation. Genially batty scientist Lucien Littlefield injects Brown with a ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
