For me, it used to be Singin' in the Rain, but lately, I'm leaning to The Band Wagon.

Singin' in the Rain is just perfect, or nearly (some people think the "Broadway Melody" ballet is too long, but I beg to differ). The Band Wagon, on the other hand, is also brilliant, but super weird and random–especially the second half–,and for me, that makes it so much fun to watch.

Actually love all Hitchcock films and anything from the 1930’s to 1960’s that fall in the suspense, crime, film noir, etc genre. Any obscure suggestions?

Does anyone remember a screwball comedy from around the 1930s like THE HANGOVER?

It's about a timid guy who finds about the crazy adventures he had the night before while blackout drunk.

I saw it decades ago in a theater that only showed old movies, and thought it was Preston Sturgis, but can't find it in his filmography.

Hi everyone. This has been mod approved so here goes!

After spending many years on producing various things (including podcasts) for other people I’ve decided to commit to my very own passion project. (AKA it’s unpaid and I am doing it for fun.) 

I love classic films, I love sci-fi films and I love history so that’s what it’s about. I started with Voyage to the Moon (1902) and am working (with leaps and jumps) towards the future!

The podcast launched around 6 weeks ago and is going really well so far considering I have zero public profile and am independent (not with a media company).

I now spend a lot of my spare time researching and watching old films. I’m currently looking at sci-fi films from the 1930s and hoped I could share what I’m watching/researching here.

I would be really chuffed if anyone would want to discuss the films I’m currently working on. This is my one thread. Everything I’m watching or reading about will go here and if I record an episode on the film I’ll post that here too. Would REALLY love to hear from anyone interested in the topics mentioned.

I really miss having colleagues to bounce ideas off and my friends and family aren’t really into random science fiction from Soviet Russia in the 1920s or even Hollywood from the 1930s. 

Thanks!

This past weekend I discovered a fabulous channel through Amazon: ScreenPix. I’ve watched “Dance With a Stranger”, “Prick Up Your Ears”, “24 Hour Party People”, and “True Confessions”.

I haven’t yet delved into the pre-80s offerings but I have been very geeked to watch things I’ve been wanting to see for ages. A coupla of which I haven’t seen since their initial release. They’ve got “Cutter’s Way”!

They’ve got a free trial so have a look.

In our weekly tradition, it's time to gather round and talk about classic film(s) you saw over the week and maybe recommend some.

Tell us about what you watched this week. Did you discover something new or rewatched a favourite one? What lead you to that film and what makes it a compelling watch? Ya'll can also help inspire fellow auteurs to embark on their own cinematic journeys through recommendations.

So, what did you watch this week?

​

As always: Kindly remember to be considerate of spoilers and provide a brief synopsis or context when discussing the films.

I was on wikifandom orsome wiki page and they noted a #1 movie from 1941 called:

The Runaway Terrier

I can't find any information on the movie, cast, etc. And I cannot even imagine that was considered a #1 movie at all. Perhaps for a category of best animal production, or best children's movie somewhere, but certainly not an Oscar winner. Am I wrong?

It is just strange I can't find anything on the movie at all. Very unusual ......

The actor could be male or woman.

The movie could be from anywhere around the world. Voice acting counts.

Feel free to say the name of the movie or movies if you want. That's optional.
