the stationmaster - yuri zhelyabuzhsky, ivan moskvin nothing is gonna be better than the ucicky version, although this one will easily make my final ballot, but i still find it amazing that they could make films like this one and the bear's wedding at all in russia in 1925, i just assumed it was all...

aitaré da praia - gentil roiz, ary severo (1925) one of those rough and ready brazilian silents where either huge chunks are missing or the filmmakers got totally bored at the end and tied up all the plots strands in under a minute. either way the film looks AMAZING, as if the sun and salty air had ...

i seriously thought that dimmy raved about the above on mubi but i can't find any mention of it (that might be because old mubi forum is impossible to search) and it's not on his list....(should probably check out a few of those others tho) https://web.archive.org/web/20100728094237/http://mubi.com/...

HAHA and it's on youtube :lol: youtube version is 20 mins shorter than the one i watched, am guessing it has all the ass censored out, still worth watching as the apogee of all the physical health nonsense in the 20s, even features more methods of the weirdo-guru i watched in netherlands como: http...

sunrise over the immortal city of rome (1925) this is insanely gorgeous, although it's not all rome and is bafflingly ended by a cowboy and acrobats, but still, deeeeeeelicious https://i.imgur.com/Y0Gzv4W.png https://i.imgur.com/vn3YXGI.png https://i.imgur.com/UApzOkv.png https://i.imgur.com/Z9Zg3wv...

pohjalaisia - jalmari lahdensuo one of those scandi-rural silents, and it almost works... the scenery is gorgeous and is filmed to comment on the action (best use of swinging well-bucket), the plot hints at an interesting examination of even good-hearted conflicting inflexible attitudes, and best of...
