I know I've seen Boys Town, fairly sure I saw Angels with Dirty Faces, and may have seen You Can't Take It with You. Either don't remember or not loving any of them that much. The Adventures of Robin Hood, though, I recall liking and it was generally thought that Errol Flynn should have gotten nominated.
Two films that were shut out altogether by Oscar: Bringing Up Baby (Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant), which I saw so long ago that I can't recall it much; and Alfred Hitchock's the Lady Vanishes, which I don't believe I've seen.

I only just acouple three weeks back watched the movie, "You Can't Take It With You", and found it most entertaining. I have all but a couple of Betty Davis's movies in my personal collection here at home (I have some 700 plus video cassettes in my collection). I recall several of the pics you mention in your Post, but have to admit there were six I am not familiar with, and have noted their titles and will add them to my netflix cue, and appreciate your bringing them to my attention.
