1947 mystery, Moss Rose, with Victor Mature and Vincent Price. Neat little thriller that takes a couple of turns. Enjoyed it.

Show People 1928 - comedy King Vidor, Marion Davies, William Haines
Silent with synchronized music and sound effects.
With Cameos by Chaplin, Fairbanks Sr., John Gilbert, King Vidor, Marion Davies as herself.
You can catch it on Tubi for free, though their copy is a bit damaged and misses a few frames here and there.
Highly recommended if you haven't seen it. The dialogues (intertitles) are quite funny.
It proves the point that drama is easy and comedy is the most difficult of arts
This is a movie lover's movie. Think a comedy version of Sunset Boulevard

"Dark Passage"from 1947 starring Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Becall. Very good, albeit not overly believable, noir.

Re-watched Bullit. Still love counting flying hubcaps during the car chase. Also enjoyed Norman Fell, Robert Duvall, Simon Oakland, George Stanford Brown, and Vic Tayback. (tried to remember their other, mostly larger, roles)
Ironically a German film: Not Quite Kosher: A Divine Comedy, English title: No name restaurant:
An ultra-orthodox Jew and a Bedouin guide's car breaks down in the Sinai desert while en route for Passover rituals to Alexandria, forcing them to unite for survival as they seek their destination.
Minimalistic, thought provoking, heartwarming...

"Escape" from 1940. Very good anti-Nazi drama starring Robert Taylor.

"Libeled Lady", 1936, starring, incredibly, Myrna Loy, Jean Harlow, Spencer Tracy, and William Powell. Tracy is a newspaper editor much like Walter Burns. Unfortunately, and on his wedding day, the paper's London reporter has sent a story that famous ultra-rich playgirl, Loy, has been accused of being a home-wrecker. By morning in New York, the reporter has wired to say that he had gotten the story all wrong. Tracy stops the presses and tries to retrieve any copies that have gone to the news stands...

It happened in St. Tropez 2013 - French film
Very unusual structure, funny, poignant:
This is the logline from imdv:
The brothers Zef and Roni are very different. In Paris, Zef's wife is buried about the same time as Roni's daughter is getting married. Zef's daughter unknowingly falls in love with Roni's daughter's fiance. Problems arise.
Think Hannah and her sisters, with a French touch
"Donkey Skin" ("Peau d'âne"), a French movie from 1970 by Jaques Demy and starring Catherine Deneuve, with music by Michel Legrand. Based on a classic, to the French, fairy tale by Charles Perrault (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Perrault) who is the author of "Little Red Riding Hood", "Puss in Boots", "Sleeping Beauty", and "Cinderella". Very good considering its lower budget and bizarre storyline (which involves incest).

The "The Cold Blue" from 2018. An outstanding documentary about the 8th Air Force who flew near suicidal missions in the Second World War. It was riveting.

I love watching movies at home whenever I want. The last movie The Power I saw was on 123movies It's my favorite site for streaming because it's convenient and has a great selection. Watching movies this way is relaxing and fits perfectly into my schedule. I can enjoy my favorite films without leaving the house.

"Three Come Home" from 1950, starring Claudette Colbert. True-ish account of the 3+ years that a mother/author and her young son spent in a Japanese POW camp in the Philippines separated from her husband. I thought it was well done.

"Night of the Demon" from 1957, directed by Jacques Tourneur (who didn't want the Demon to be shown) and starring Dana Andrews. Quite good horror/occult movie.
