Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954; 80 minutes)

In this quintessential Universal Pictures monster movie, a group of scientists try to capture a prehistoric beast lurking in the depths of the Amazon and bring the "Gill-man" to civilization, where "every man is his mortal enemy and woman's beauty his prey!"

Captain America Serial-Episode 2 (1944; 16 minutes)

The 15-chapter weekly series was the first theatrical appearance of a Marvel Comics character, and the most expensive serial Republic Studios ever made. The masked Captain America (aka District Attorney Grant Gardner) attempts to solve a rash of high-profile suicides induced by the hypnotic chemical "Purple Death," and thwart the evil Scarab's plans to deploy super-weapons "Dynamic Vibrator" and "Electronic Firebolt."

The Maltese Falcon (1941; 100 minutes)

The film noir classic based on Dashiell Hammett's novel stars Humphrey Bogart as private detective Sam Spade, entangled in a dangerous web of crime and intrigue over a jewel-encrusted statuette. The directorial debut of John Huston co-stars Mary Astor as the femme fatale client, with Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet as unscrupulous villains. The film, notable for its cast, crisp dialogue, and dramatic cinematography, was one of the first 25 films the Library of Congress inducted into the National Film Registry as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
