die kinder des majors (1914) this is pretty forgettable, other than some hilarious histrionics by the youth.....but i think they really had different approaches to romance then.... this is the romantic hero... https://i.imgur.com/pBfB3Ev.png whereas this sexy moustache man is the villain.... https:/...

P.S. - I'll go vote right now!

no idea why they shut mubi down, i'm still mad at them about it......

the gambler's wife - holger-madsen (1913) early holger-madsen is much more fun than later holger-madsen. and stuffed-shirt aristo is waaaay hotter when he grows a moustache and musses up his hair https://i.imgur.com/MFjoI6N.png https://i.imgur.com/wQS9MDT.png https://i.imgur.com/HLFL23I.png https://...

poem of the sea - yuliya solntseva (1958)

bastards

the house under the sea - henri calef wanted to see this ever since maqroll mentions it in one of the mutis novellas but it's a very bizarre film....at least 50% of it was filmed from the floor, the dialogue is incomprehensible, the characters and their actions are almost abstract: falling asleep in...

hot

fabiola - enrico guazzoni (1918) found a version (link) than was longer and better quality (if you can ignore the watermark madness) than the 61 min versions on youtube, but as a film it's still pretty unwell (the christian persecutions as turgid death fetish movie) https://i.imgur.com/JY6U2us.png h...

cobbles and clods - howard c jones (1947) mildly charming (given young age of filmmaker) but slightly hackneyed amateur film contrasting idyllic rural wales with claustrophobic hectic london https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-cobbles-and-clods-1947-online A young Howard C Jones moved from the...

sandmosen (1947) watch here: https://www.danmarkpaafilm.dk/film/sandmosen ostensibly a credit-less doc about bog draining in coastal denmark, it's insane there's no info about this because whoever shot this truly poetic film is a real, delirious artist (forget the dreyer shorts for 1947, this is the...

Hi everyone. First post here. I've known about this forum for a few years now, but just never got around to posting. Figured I'd stop wasting time and get to it. I was active on Mubi circa 2011/2012 like many of us were back in the day, and subsequently made my way to Letterboxd. Rischka, (my very ...

people get PAID to do this? how can I suddenly switch to a career in archaeology

https://twitter.com/CarryOnDigging/stat ... 0cDyQ&s=19

ah that makes sense, i guess i assumed film industry would filter through from the stronger regions but i suppose it didn't work that way

watched a bunch of 1906/1907 viggo larsens on stumfilm.dk, mostly entertaining (the giant hat, viewed through a sexual lens, is hilarious) the fairytales, period, and exotic dramas all look nice (the interior stuff is meh, but he can really shoot outside) and are mildly crazy (insane colonial commen...

no me neither, strange...

anyone know if there's any particular reason there are so few films before the millennium? it's baffling

this might have made my ballot tho....

lullaby - boris deutsch (1925)

rebel objects - carolina arias ortíz (2020) #CoMoCostaRica

the tailor from torzhok - yakov protazanov (1925) when the russians try to do the zany american stuff it always comes off as completely demented (which is good, but even so this wouldn't have made my final ballot) https://i.imgur.com/DOWeQ0b.png https://i.imgur.com/YbCd2v1.png https://i.imgur.com/u1...

the precipice - pyotr chardynin (1913) oh boy. lured in to watch this by the prospect of a full 90 mins of ivan reliably emoting but started paying more attention and was instead quite astonished. chardynin is usually overshadowed by bauer but on the basis of this film there's absolutely no reason f...

oh, I didn't feel like I was attacking Angel! as he's one of the lowest raters he hates movies more than we do )) I just get worried he'll get so disillusioned one year that he'll stop doing it....

this is my problem....I want to like all the movies people have been excited enough to nominate but 90% are too fucking sexist to enjoy (I tried fooling myself for years that it was OK but I don't care anymore) plus also the personal kinks of disliking child-based movies (possibly related to above i...

in the name of god - abbas mirza sharifzadeh (1925) i did the anti-clerical christian soviet movie, so it's only balance to do the anti-clerical muslim soviet one as well the revolution comes to azerbaijan (at least i think it does, with no subs the finer points of the plot are mildly confusing apar...

eyesight - devry school films (1928)

two kings - elis ellis (1925) absolutely no idea what was going on, but i appreciate the effort they went to, it looked charming enough.... https://i.imgur.com/XPmHxMJ.png https://i.imgur.com/u99ZZv2.png https://i.imgur.com/yzIksoE.png https://i.imgur.com/is08cR0.png https://i.imgur.com/D6h1aYz.png
