A film noir gem that I rented by accident that turned out to be a New Year treat. Enjoy.

We all hate homework and you might think watching The Battleship Potemkin is going to be akin to doing the times table. It's not. It's a great action film that is also a timely reminder not to take any crap of the powers that be and you should watch it right now.

A recent book purchase led me on a Western binge. Two stood out from the crowd The Big Trail and The Ox-Bow Incident. Both very different and both quite excellent. Enjoy.

I've recently gone through the film of Nicholas Ray and amongst the highs and the lows really rather enjoyed In a Lonely Place. It's a film noir of sorts as well as look at the state of 1950's Hollywood.

Not the first western ever made but one of the most important, The Great Train Robbery was made when Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid were still knocking about. A violent, funny and important film in the history of cinema. Watch it by following the link below.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3jrB5ANUUY
