Classic Films on Youtube

[Benny Bunter]

Might watch a film tonight, any recommendations? Nothing too long and arty, an easy watch

Dunno if I mentioned this one, it's not the best execution but a brilliant concept.



Saw Badlands the other night on YouTube with all extras. Years since I've seen it.

If you're interested in schlocky horror films this looks like a great channel (there is non-schlock on there too e.g. Metropolis)

I just watched Fanny and Alexander on BFI player, the 3 hour version, and although I enjoyed it I did feel like I could sense that a lot was cut out in translating it from a 5 hour TV series.

So I'm glad to see that some kind soul has uploaded the series onto youtube

Just watched this on YouTube and you should too. It's gotta be worth an hour of your time.

"

A Page of Madness (狂った一頁, Kurutta Ichipēji) is a 1926 Japanese silent experimental horror film directed by Teinosuke Kinugasa. Lost for 45 years until it was rediscovered by Kinugasa in his storehouse in 1971,[3][4] the film is the product of an avant-garde group of artists in Japan known as the Shinkankakuha (or School of New Perceptions) who tried to overcome naturalistic representation.[5][6][7] The film is set in a mental institution in contemporary Japan.

That in 100 years we've gone from this to Kraven The Hunter is the equivalent of humans evolving to some kind of stunted half formed fishmonkey in half the time it took to go the other way.

She comes up in this one I watched last year.

Some of this is a bit naff and clunky, particularly the DeLillo readings, and it's very 90s, but some good tunes and some affecting footage - the child exiting the hijacked plane to applause, the woman shrieking for "my baby" on the airport floor.
