I need help in identifying an Irish series in Hulu that was recommended (ymmv) by an HTF member. I can't remember the title of the series, nor can I remember the name of the HTF member. If the HTF member reads this, please tell me the name of the series you liked so much. Thanks.

I saw a 35mm print of this film and I think it's more than just really good. I was thoroughly impressed, particularly since I knew nothing about the film going in.

Alexander Payne's The Holdovers. A real pleasure for adults. Highly recommended.

The Johnstown Flood. Highly recommended. Support this restoration!

Finishing up my virtual Journey to Italy, and it cost me just 29,99 euros. Die Strasse (The Street), directed by Karl Grune. 1923. A definite influence on Murnau's Sunrise. A phantasmagorical and claustrophobic version of one night in a German city. The montage, sets, lighting; all set the...

More from the Festival at Pordenone, Italy (virtually): Early British Films from the Filmoteca di Catalunya, 1897-1909. A series of shorts shot by British filmmakers, including comedies, circus parades, elephants in Ceylon, etc. Interesting because the films survive only in this venue, which...

More from Pordenone, Italy (virtually): 2 directed by Harry Piel: The Adventure of a Journalist (1914); and The Rolling Hotel (1918). Exciting adventure films full of chases, breathtaking escapades, etc. Very entertaining fare from a very popular German director who has been unjustly forgotten...

I'm back in Pordenone, Italy (virtually), for the annual Days of Silent Film. Saturday night I streamed 6 slapstick shorts from several countries, and a fine 1921 Universal western starring Harry Carey: The Fox. The festival runs through Sunday the 15th.

Also in my collection, as well as his Elec(k)tra, which I wish would be upgraded to BD.

Wild River. YES! Marta Toren. YES! Not only talented, but beautiful, and taken from us much too soon. Man Afraid. My wife and I kept wishing for a certain moppet to suffer an excruciating fate.

Holofcener usually delivers. I follow her films with great interest.

Just finished watching the 1925 version of Stella Dallas, sensitively directed by Henry King, and superbly acted by the now-forgotten Belle Bennett. The restoration premiered last year at the Venice film festival. It was spearheaded by MoMA and the Film Foundation. Beautifully tinted print, not...

How easily the upper class discarded (or forgot) their lower-class lovers and blithely went on with their lives!

First time I saw this film it had been retitled Parisian Belle. There's no Paris in this version. Talk about non-sensical. Tibbett is tops. Watch out for Cuban Love Song if you haven't seen it.

A programmer but directed by Whale and with Joan Bennett and Fairbanks. Saw it many, many years ago when I was finishing up my complete viewing of Whale's works.

Saw the play on Broadway (revival) in Spring '72 with Jason Robards, George Grizzard and Maureen Stapleton. It still worked. And I like the movie, which is somewhat softened.

Saw this as a child when it came out--big fan of monster movies and of Beverly Garland--but not since. I wonder if it's worth getting. My time is limited...

I saw this film when it came out and not since. Fortunately, my brand new copy just arrived, so I'll be able to revisit soon. I remember liking it very much at the time, many generations ago.

Fan Fan la Tulipe or La loi would be my choices.

So did I. Also enjoyed Footprints in the Italian version.

I watched the Spanish version because I wanted to hear de la Iglesia's original dialogue as written.

I've always liked it ever since Bill Everson showed his print at a screening decades ago. Kerr is devastatingly good in her film debut, and the film pulls no punches. The BD is an excellent transfer. I was glad to watch it again.

That's the BD I own. I first saw this via TV in Puerto Rico; then in a 35mm print at MoMA. Love the film; love the lady. A real stunner. She never played in Hollywood films because she refused to be typecast as an Indian. Therefore, she stayed in Mexico, working with the great directors there...

Los ambiciosos! The great Maria Felix. Not to mention Philipe and, of course, Bunuel.

Here's a link to Pordenone's Le giornate del cinema muto (Days of Silent Film), a full-week of online viewing of silent treasures for 29.90 euros ($29.35 at today's rate). You know where I'll be spending my time, as I've been the last couple of years! It's well worth it...

The notes accompanying the release revealed a bisexual subplot in the novel that's quite believable and touching. Of course, the Production Code killed it.

There's a lot of hair gyrating in this one.

Life of Pi is a cherished 3D disc. It was a wonderful experience in the theater, as were Hugo and T.S. Spivet (also cherished 3D discs).

I really liked this film. Caine and Keitel were excellent; Fonda deserved an award (supporting) for her amazing single scene (if I recall correctly).

I don't think I've seen Gebo and the Shadow. I like the director and the cast.
