I prefer my movies in movie theaters, but nowadays, it is what it is. As a service, we'll collect links to movies you probably will enjoy, or should see. or whatever, including, as we used to say, selected shorts.
- Paths of Glory: Early Kubrick, with a fine Kirk Douglas.
- Duck Amuck: Arguably the best Warner Bros cartoon ever (unless you prefer What's Opera, Doc?. Certainly the best Daffy Duck cartoon ever. The link comes from this page, with a nice article to go with it.
- Charade: Anyone not in love with both Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn should watch this movie, in which they are both at their quintessential Grantness/Hepburnness. Still not in love with both of them? There's no hope for you.
- The Straight Story This is a really sweet David Lynch film. Let me repeat that: A really sweet David Lynch film. Then again, he also wrote and directed The Elephant Man. It ain't all severed ears on front lawn.
- A large collection of pointers to Chaplin: Annotated Filmography of Charlie Chaplin. When she was quite little, my daughter went to school on Halloween dressed as the Little Tramp. Looked just like him—and no one knew who she was supposed to be. Sigh.
