Gone With the Wind (1939)

It seems Tuseday's post about Frankenstein was the perfect prelude to this post. I mean talk about a cinematic institution. Gone With the Wind is, has been, and probably always will be THE highest grossing film of all time. Sure Avengers: Endgame may hold that title in raw unfiltered numbers (after a re-release with additional footage), but if you were to adjust for inflation Gone With the Wind has made over one trillion dollars. That's a lot of money, and if that weren't enough it's widely considered to be one of the greatest achievements in filmmaking. 4 hours of engrossing drama, searing romance, lush imagery etc... After watching it for myself...

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)

If you've been following this blog you may have noticed I did not publish a full post last Thursday. This was because I spent all my time before work goin off to guest co-host for CommTrack. CommTrack is a podcast intended to be synched with a film to hear the hosts chat while watching the movies. Kinda like a casual RiffTrax. Anyway I Co-hosted the most recent episode: Spirited Away so pop in your DVD, Blu-Ray, VHS, or however you keep your movies and click on over here to give it a listen. Anyway can't dwell on the fun stuff forever cause today's film was the 1930's version of All Quiet on the Western Front
