What movie/s are you watching?

[redchild]

Anybody watch old films? Pre-codes?

I like several Silent-era German movies (Metropolis, Der Golem, M: Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder, Nosferatu). Apart from those, I've watched very little pre-WWII movies. I still need to watch the B&W version of The 10 commandments, which has been lying on my shelf for several years now.

Of your list I've only seen Metropolis. I'm still floored by the beautiful sets and special effects. I just hope one day somebody can find its last missing reels.

The only other German silent I've seen is Die Freudlose Gasse (The Joyless Street.) The newest restored version of the film is such an improvement over the truncated one that had been floating around for so long. Der blaue Engel (The Blue Angel) is a talkie that I found interesting. It's very long, however, and some parts are somewhat slow, but I think Emil Jannings' final scenes are completely worth it.

actually, these beings have no idea who it is...

It's Mr. THIS IS SPARTAAAA!!!

Just these past several hours, they enjoyed not only "The Fifth Element", but also "Ghost Rider".

That movie is so fun.
