the only way you can stream this german melodrama semi-legally is in 10 parts on youtube from an account called BBWsWithHotGuys and it's worth it if only for the gorgeous lighting alone.
Ernst Lubitsch, 1933. Erotic. Sucker for movies based on plays, and this one is the best of the best. Polyamory, power exchange, mom stuff. Miriam Hopkins!
A wonderful musical with an all child cast (including a young Jodi Foster, filmed the same year as Taxi Driver!) lip synching to songs sung by adults-- and the songs are actually all stand alone greats! As a tween all you want is to cosplay as an adult, making a movie that does just that (esp. one that includes guns and boxing and bootlegging and cabarets) is soooo genius. I watch this once a year and have the soundtrack on vinyl. I was reminded of it again recently because one of my coolest friends posted a screenshot of it on Instagram and it was the first time I've seen another adult express Bugsy knowledge/adoration. For a while it was mad hard to find but lucky for you it's now available via shitty rip on Youtube (linked above). Great snow day viewing!
