Modern interpretations of golden age songs/ movies
Even though I never got a long with the guy one of my favorite "Jarrod MacDonald" threads from the "old forum" was one where he had stuff like this - modern interpretations of older movies and songs from them. He had stuff like Putting on the Ritz in the thread but this is what I...

Re: May 2024 Schedule Posted, Asian Stars featured
I'm getting tired of these group SOTMs or "trying to right past wrongs" SOTMs by focusing on a minority SOTM who was never really a star. There are so many stars waiting for a month that have NEVER been chosen and TCM seems to have no interest in showcasing them. Such as? It’s Joan Bennet...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Do any of you think Erich Maria Remarque was inspired by the movie the Big Parade which came out four years before his book? Both movie and book have a scene where a soldier is stuck in a foxhole with a wounded/ dying enemy combatant and they learn to sympathize with enemy soldiers who are just as m...

Re: Ranking Only the Best (and the Very Worst) of a Movie Year Project
For 1932 *Hyppolit the Butler (It has a 1932 release date for US and rest of Europe. It is by far my favorite film of this year.) *Virgins of Bali *Kriss *The Mummy *Red Dust *Freaks My tastes tend more towards B movies and foreign fare as you may tell. I have also seen “I was Born But” by Ozu but I...

Re: What B&W films would you consider visually "beautiful"?
The Wind by Victor Sjostrom which I caught just today.
The later years of the silent era (25 -29) were some of the best cinematography around and I would maybe hesitate only a little to say the best years of cinematographic, visual beauty in all cinema. It really died overnight in 1929.

Hyppolit the Butler (1931)
This is such a cute romantic comedy- musical. Always puts me in a happy mood.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TBo0dWVf6SU
It is a comedy about social class in 30s Hungary. I highly recommend it if you like stuff like Lubitsch movies. It is light hearted and Lubitsch-Esque.

Re: Frank Borzage season of restored films at MOMA
Okay, so this probably explains why the Circle was on yesterday. I didn’t notice if it were a restoration or anything.

Re: WHAT FOREIGN FILMS HAVE YOU WATCHED LATELY?
Nostos the Return- I have watched it several times in completion. Reading the Odyssey in conjunction with viewing it really helped decipher what was going on. It is one of the most beautiful films I ever watched and I can’t stop shilling it here. It is thematically like the literary adaptations of P...
