99¢ rentals to fill in the Oscar gaps

UPDATE 10/23 Sadly these deals have all expired and they're back up to $3.99 per film.

While we wait (impatiently) for the major Oscar contenders to show themselves to general audiences, why not check out an older Oscar nominees for kicks and to fill any gaps in your Oscar knowledge. Here are a few that iTunes is offering to rent for just 99¢... naturally I have to share the posters for the ones with exclamatory taglines.

Sunrise (1927)/ Street Angel (1928) for Janet Gaynor, the very first Best Actress winner and the only Best Actress winner to win for multiple roles simultaneously (they changed the rule thereafter)
In Old Chicago (1938) Tyrone Powers in a six-time nominated film which won Alice Brady supporting actress
The Rains Came
(1939) starring Myrna Loy and up for six Oscars
Blood and Sand
(1941) this torreador drama starring Tyrone Power won Best Cinematography
This Above All
(1942) a romantic drama starring Joan Fontaine and Tyrone Power received 4 nominations and a win for Art Direction
The Snake Pit 
(1948) Olivia de Havilland in an asylum (!) in one of the original 'deglam' roles. Six nominations including Best Picture
• Pinky 
(
1949), a racial drama about a woman who can "pass" as white received 3 acting nominations

Come to the Stable (1949) a comedy about nuns which was up for an inexplicable 7 Oscars losing all of them -- we recently wrote about it
The Young Lions (1958) three nominations including cinematography for this Marlon Brando / Montgomery Clift World War II picture.
The Best of Everything (1959) three nominations including costume design for this Joan Crawford picture that January Jones hated so very much in that one episode of Mad Men
