Talk about your baby boys – Cagney takes the cake here as a psychopathic gangster with a seriously perverse mother complex. A gangster classic.

Magic carpets, a magic rope, dragons, and a valley of fire – it's The Arabian Nights in its first Hollywood adaptation. Fairbanks' perpetually nimble and virile presence grabs the viewer's attention, but no less mesmerizing are the elaborate sets, which were designed by the immortal William Cameron Menzies.
