Night before last TCM had the 1934 French classic, "L'Atalante". Exquisite movie about a newlywed couple on a river barge in the Seine. Working class reality. Beautiful, beautiful movie.

If you think that's bad you should see The Thing with Two Heads starring Ray Milland and Rosey Grier. :twitch:

Or the masterful Mr. Bruce Campbell's "The Man With The Screaming Brain" cinema at it's finest!

Army of Darkness was his best.

Wooden Crosses, France, 1932, directed and co-written by Raymond Bernard. Stunning film about the horror of The Great War. In French with subtitles. If you get a chance watch this. A powerful film, focusing on group of soldiers in a French regiment as the violence of the war increases and the men cope with the suddenness of death and the seeming pointlessness of the struggle.

The characters are not cardboard cut outs, but strongly drawn and recognizable personalities. What sets this apart from other films of that era was the breath-taking use of hand-held cameras during the battle sequences. Soldiers go in and out focus, figures dash across the field of vision, the camera swoops around in quick arcs so that the viewer is placed, as it were, in the middle of the chaos. Don't think of the "shakey cam" style in vogue for several years now; it's more real and less stylized.

There were a couple of sequences where the camera tracks at the end of a wave of soldiers advancing across no-man's land that made me think Kubrick must have seen this and used it in Paths of Glory.

From the Criterion Collection on Hulu.

Army of Darkness was his best.

The Man With The Screaming Brain wasn't too bad.
But AOD was his best, I'll agree with that.
Love the segue with the Olds falling from the sky.

"The Big Parade" - Wow... just wow!

The Battlewagon Olds was even better.

The Ghost And The Darkness - I realize that the script may have only been in the same building as a history book but I still like this movie a lot.
