SUNRISE: A SONG OF TWO HUMANS (1927)
Perhaps the artistic apotheosis of silent movies, just before sound came in and swept them away.
THE CONNECTION (1961)
This is sort of the closest thing you’ll find a movie by and for the Beat Movement, an interesting exercise but I’m not sure it actually works as a film.
REMEMBER TO VOTE FOR OUR ST. PATRICK’S DAY FEATURE!
Announcing our next Virtual Film Festival, a week of Irish-themed movies leading up to St. Patrick’s Day! It all starts March 11.
COMING TO AMERICA (1988)
The sequel to this hit Eddie Murphy fish-out-of-water comedy comes out today. I had never seen the original before, but I think it was pretty funny.
M*A*S*H (1970)
A war movie for the anti-war crowd, and a comedy that inadvertently launched the biggest TV series of all time.

Estimated to be the most-watched movie of all-time, it somehow works just as well 82 years later.
BELLE DE JOUR (1967)
Luis Buñuel deftly portrays the inner sexual fantasy life of a beautiful Parisian woman in a way that the movies really hadn’t before.
REAR WINDOW (1954)
Jimmy Stewart becomes obsessed with watching his neighbors live their lives through his window, and maybe we do too.
CHUNGKING EXPRESS (1994)
This romance/crime/comedy/drama/other remains, a quarter century later, my definitive personal image of Hong Kong.
