16mm films

I usually can get 3 16mm films for about 30 dollars from Ebay, with the shipping and what not. Well not too long ago, I answered a classified ad and got around 50 movies for about $50!






Apparently, they are mostly WWII news reels. If so, that should be interesting. I must go through these over the holidays.

CQ

I think this movie has (borrows) a lot of the style from the older movies I like.

14 or Fight

A musical clip from "Wild in the Streets"



Jud sang this at my wedding.

Yep, that's the archetype

I like this movie.

Yet another

This one's fun.

Another movie

I really liked the style of this movie.

Movie

My favourite movie. So what?

Bollywood



First of all, for the record, I don't enjoy the Black Eyed Peas, or as I call them with ironic excitement, 'the Peas'. A few years back I borrowed a CD from the Calgary Public Libray entitled Beginners Guide to Bollywood: Bollywood Funk. I loved it a lot. Shortly after, the Peas released their breakout album which featured a two samples from that CD as well as a melody from it. But these songs were all from different movies, so that tells me that they don't even have these records, they just bought and sampled somebody's mix CD. To me, that screams lameness.

I know this next one is a little too obvious to include, but I still like it.
