Newbie silents
I have a couple of friends I'm trying to convince of the value of silent film. If you were trying to convince someone that silents are a worthy and viable art form, what five films would you recommend?
I have my own ideas, but I'd like yours. Remember, these are neophytes.

Re: Netflix Streaming Films that Are Only on R2 DVDs
Courtney got me a Roku for Christmas. It's a box that allows me to stream internet video from Netflix, Amazon movies, YouTube and other online sources to my TV. It supports a wide variety of channels, most of which are either free or cheap -- I have Drive-In Classics, Cowboy Classics, and Pub-D-TV (...

Re: Buster Keaton
Interesting review, but I must confess I don't see how Lloyd's character had less moral weight than either Keaton or Chaplin, unless that dollar gag in Safety Last is the only way Lloyd's character is defined.

Re: Buster Keaton

Here's part of a review I wrote on imdb years ago: Lloyd had an understanding of gags, and the physical prowess to pull them off, but h...

He has kept the faith when I was ready to give up. If you love this site, and it's a part of your every day internet life, it's he that...

Re: R.I.P. Dennis Hopper
I am crushed by this news. As a bonafide 80s child, his stellar performances in Blue Velvet, River's Edge and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 were a major part of my young adulthood.
