Little Darlings (with original music) --ISABEL (1968 Canadian film, w/Genevieve Bujold in her awesome prime --- part of a trilogy by Bujold's then-husband Paul Almond which also included "Act of the Heart" and "Journey") --ACE ELI AND RODGER OF THE SKIES (1973 --- film sucks but includes the luscious Pamela Franklin in her sexiest role ever) --OUR MOTHER'S HOUSE (1967 offbeat British film directed by Jack Clayton --- also features Pamela Franklin as a pigtailed cutie) --ALRAUNE (silent German film concerning a "female Frankenstein" -- played by Brigitte Helm of "Metropolis" fame --- released in 1928 --- also stars Paul Wegener ["Der Golem"] in the central role of a proverbial mad scientist. This film has been shown on German TV, so I know that an archival print survives) --THE MAGICIAN (1926 silent film directed by Rex Ingram --- arguably the strongest influence on James Whale's Frankenstein films --- has Paul Wegener as a Faustian scientist and his experiments with life-creation. The Museum of Modern Art has an archival print of this film that they've been sequestering for decades --- a criminal form of possessiveness with NO extenuating circumstances. This is a job for Criterion.) --RASKOLNIKOW (1923 German Expressionist film directed by Robert Wiene ["Caligari"] --- I believe this is the earliest feature-length film adaptation of Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" --- contains lots of cool Caligari-esque set designs interspersed with naturalistic detail --- here again, an archival print survives, but it's probably locked up somewhere in Munich[?]) --MARKETA LAZAROVA (1967 -- fantastic award-winning Czech film with a medieval setting that needs releasing in a restored version --- all that's available now are murky PD prints) --CHRONOPOLIS (1983 -- French-Polish animated sci-fi film directed by Piotr Kamler --- a futuristic exploration of an extraterrestrial civilization that has everything from claymation-like wizardry to Borgesian metaphysics --- briefly released in the late 80s/early 90s in VHS but recalled almost immediately) *** Battle Flame (1959) Battle Stations (1956) Submarine I-57 Will Not Surrender (1959) (with subtitles or dubbed) Tank Battalion (1958) Valiant, The (1962) *** black girl (1972) Big Gundown

Aim At The Stars 1. All the Way Home (1963) (Jean Simmons and Robert Preston)
2. They Knew What They Wanted (circa 1940) (Charles Laughton and
Carole Lombard)
3. Lili 1953) (Leslie Caron) This was a big film for MGM. I
don't understand why it isn't
on a permanent release schedule. When
this happens (especially with musicals) it's
usually because copyrights have not
been released for a dvd copy. Don't know if "Lili"
was ever released as a VHS, come to think of
it.
4. Chasing a/the Rainbow: the Story of Josephine Baker.
I saw this documentary once on PBS
(I think) and was immediately hooked.
Would also like to see affordable copies of three
of her movies (1. Princess Tam Tam (an
African tale built around a Pygmalion storyline),
2. ZOU ZOU and 3. Revue de Les Revues (which I
think comes closest to her own experiences
as a featured dancer in the 1930's Moulin
Rouge).
5. Elephant Man (David Lynch should cry "Foul" to high
heaven to whomever let this classic go
out-of-print.
6. The Guardsman (1931) The only film Alfred Lunt and Lynn
Fontanne ever made. In the theatre
world the two were icons; in the film world
they are just an obscurity.
7. Rasputin and the Empress (1932) All the Barrymores except John
Drew, Drew and Diana.
8. Greed (1925) Four hours of silence but supposedly Erich
Von Stroheim's masterpiece.
9. I Am a Camera (A British non-musical production of
"Cabaret" with Julie Harris as Sally Bowles
and Laurence Harvey.
10. Three in the Attic. From the people who brought you "Beach
Blanket Bingo" comes the
companion piece to "Wild in the
Streets."
11. You're a Big Boy Now. I saw this film when it first came out
(around 1965) and have been
humming the Loving Spoonful soundtrack ever
since in this bizarre gem.
12. The Life and Loves of a She-Devil. This mini-series from the
UK played on A&E sometime ago
but it puts to shame the American version with
Meryl Streep and Roseanne Barr. Meryl may
have given Cher a few helpful acting tips but I
think she gave up in frustration with Rosie.
13. Solid Gold Cadillac. I actually bought a copy of this today.
I always thought if there wasn't
a Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton that Judy
Holliday and Jack Carson would have been
the perfect substitute. Then I saw
"The Bells Are Ringing" with both Judy and Jean Stapleton
and realized Jean's Edith Bunker was very much
fashioned after Holliday --- everything from
screechy voice, the flighty "dingbat"
persona hiding a very wise heart.
14. Counter-Attack. (1942 maybe) The only thing I really
remember about this film is that
Paul Muni is trapped in this bombed out bunker
holding a dozen Nazis as prisoners, while the
German are outside trying to dig them out.
For some reason it is imperative that he figure
out who the officer in charge is.
