Forty Naughty Girls (1937), sixth entry in the Hildegarde Withers series, this one with ZaSu Pitts as Miss Withers and James Gleason returning as Inspector Piper of the NYPD. The title is thoroughly misleading, as the forty girls are the dancers in a Broadway show. Pitts is not given a lot of dialogue, mostly shown sneaking around and then coming up with the right deductions. The Edna May Oliver Withers are the best.

HOFFA (1992): A film based on the story of legendary union figure Jimmy Hoffa. Jack Nicholson's portrait of Union leader James R. Hoffa, as seen through the eyes of his friend, Bobby Ciaro (Danny DeVito). The film follows Hoffa through his countless battles with the RTA and President Roosevelt all the way to a conclusion that negates the theory that he disappeared in 1975.

Midnight in Paris, the new Woody Allen film. I didn't like it as much as Match Point, or even Scoop, but it's definitely worth a look because it's a still a good film with a good story and fairly well developed theme. As for the characters, they are all top drawer - the guy playing Hemingway really nails him, just boom, right on the head, and the whole scene with Dali is hilarious. In case you haven't heard about it yet, the protagonist goes on nightly time travels back to the 1920s, so the subject matter is definitely Lounge material and the suits, it's worth seeing just for those. Actually it's worth seeing just for Dali's dark three piece.
