Re: 9th Annual "Watch That Movie Night" is January 27!

Over the weekend, I took a little left turn from my initial thought and instead watched Lloyd's The Kid Brother (1927). I definitely enjoyed it, and it was more of an adventure-type movie than I was expecting. The film was filled with all sorts of fun scenes, but I especially enjoyed the part on the...

Re: The devil in vintage film

It's only available from bootleg sources on eBay and Etsy, since it is still copyrighted by Paramount. There is a review of one at silentera.com , and the picture quality is abysmal. For some reason, the IMDB added this title to Raymond Griffith's filmography, presumably because he shares a last na...

Re: What is the last film you watched? (2016)

I recently watched Sons of the Desert (1933), which I absolutely loved. I'm now starting to work my way through the L&H collection on DVD, and I also watched Unaccustomed As We Are (1929), which was supposedly their first talkie. The sound was serviceable, but pretty bad.

Re: What is the last film you watched? (2016)

I am slowly working my way through the old Universal classic monster films, and I recently watched Werewolf of London (1935), Dracula's Daughter (1936), Son of Frankenstein (1939) and the Wolf Man (1941). Son of Frankenstein was my favorite of the bunch, and I really enjoyed Bela Lugosi as Ygor.

You might want to throw in Son of Frankenstein since some of the elements of that film are satirized in Young Frankenstein (along with the original Frankenstein and The Bride of F.)

I recently watched The Prisoner of Zenda (1937), Room Service (1938) and The Road to Hong Kong (1962).

I really enjoyed Zenda, and I'll have to track down some other films with the cast members. If you have not had the pleasure, Zenda is highly recommended!
