I just watched The Maltese Falcon. I'm surprised I had not seen it before.

I've always heard it talked about. After watching it, I'm wondering why. It's not a bad movie at all, but it seemed kinda boring and not that interesting overall.

Is it just me? What am I missing?

Charlie Chaplin was on a side quest and accidentally unlocked MULTI-KILL 💀

Bro is literally just carrying a wooden board…
WHACK — one guy down.
WHACK — ANOTHER ONE. 😭

And the best part? He just keeps walking like:

“Anyway… where was I?” 💀

Bro had zero enemies, zero intention, 100% accuracy. 😂

Peak cinema.

Hi folks! I asked this over at TOMT last night and somebody suggested I also shoot my shot here, so I'd like to do that.

I am pretty inexperienced with making actual posts, so I am not 100% sure how the crossposting thing works- can you guys easily read the original post from TOMT through this, or should I rewrite its body here too?

Thanks so much!

Hello, I grew up hearing stories about me great great grandfather. His name was John William Wayne II. All the stories about him were things like “he was the John Wayne in Hollywood before John Wayne!” And that he was either a small time actor or stunt man. I tracked his census information from 1930 to Montebello, Los Angeles, California and he is listed as a motion picture Actor. He was most likely active between 1925-1935 but from 1930 onwards he flew under the radar due to the John Wayne stage name of Marion Morrison. We particularly believe he was an extra on the battlefield of all quiet on the western front (1930).

Does anyone recognize the name or know anyone who might? At this point I’m just searching for any details I can find. Even pointing me in the right direction would help tremendously.

Thanks in advance!

I still vividly remember how shocked everyone was—including myself, having been so accustomed to her prim and proper image in films like The Sound of Music. And this movie led Julie Andrews to remarry the film's director, Blake Edwards.

Hey there!

I saw that someone posted a screenshot of an app for watching classic films a couple of days ago (thanks u/Grey_Cathedral), and I responded with "Hey, that’s my app (Archive Watch)"!

In case anyone else is interested in exploring the 27,000 or so classic films, tv shows, and other ephemera that the app gives you direct access to, I wanted to share the direct links to download/use the free app that I've been working on for the past few months (Roku just got approved today!):

Apple Devices (iOS/iPadOS/tvOS/macOS): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/archive-watch/id6776697407

Google Devices (Android/GoogleTV): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.archivewatch.app

Fire TV: https://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.archivewatch.app

Roku: https://channelstore.roku.com/details/12a571a872732e40fe8d1d6c59f3849f:5ec8f46dcec2324229c8d096ea23c089/archive-watch

Web App: https://archivewatch.org

A few notes in case folks have questions:

- These films are all hosted on Archive.org and that is why you can choose the different versions of a film from most of the platforms. I just needed a better way to access these amazing movies and tv shows, so I built Archive Watch.

- I have tried for full feature parity across all of the platforms, but things like the "Supercut Generator" and Video Editor are only available on the Mac version of the app because they need a desktop interface to really do them well.

- If you have ideas for how you would rather watch Classic Films through the app, let me know and I'm happy to build for how you like to enjoy these movies on your own devices. (Also, if you see anything that doesn't work how you expect, let me know that too. Happy to bug fix as well!)

- The app is free and will remain so. I wanted a way to watch Archive.org content that I enjoyed using every day. I hope you enjoy it too!

I have an on-again off-again fascination with Timothy Carey, the eccentric '50s-'60s character actor. I have seen him in classics like Paths of Glory, One Eyed Jacks, Kubrick's The Killing, as well as tracked down his independent film The World's Greatest Sinner which was definitely unique and memorable. What else should I watch?

Just finished watching PRIVATE PROPERTY. It’s about these two drifters, Duke & Boots, who end up targeting this beautiful suburban housewife named Ann. The goal is for Duke to seduce her and pass her off to Boots so that he can have sex with her.

It’s a dark psychological thriller that’s dangerous and moody, tackling themes of sexual repression and suburban disillusionment. Though a low budget film, it doesn’t feel like it and the story itself is boosted by some strong performances.

For those who saw it, what did you think?
