Short Film Saturday: Les Escargots (The Snails) (1968)
I realized I didn’t have a post scheduled for today, so rather than reshuffle the schedule I decided to share this surreal gem from the legendary French animator René Laloux.
Enjoy!
Free Movie Friday: Brats (1930)
Laurel and Hardy as kids. That’s about all you need to know, isn’t it?
Short Film Saturday: The Jaywalker (1966)
The films I share in my 31 Days of Oscar posts tend to get lost in the shuffle, so I’ll be featuring them on Short Film Saturday to give them their due.
The Jaywalker (1956)
Free Movie Friday: À Propos de Nice (1930)
There were cinematic milestones made in the travelogue, or symphony of a city mold, but what legendary filmmaker Jean Vigo sough to create in his experiment À Propos de Nice was a bit different. It has a bit of subversion and class commentary that still lands to this day.
Short Film Saturday: Sidney’s Family Tree

Watch if you’re up for some classic Pre-Code melodrama.

Free-Movie Friday: Hell-Bound Train (1930)
This was a film I first viewed on the Criterion Channel.
It’s a morality tale from the Jazz Age and a milestone in early Black cinema, which only remains extant thanks to preservation efforts of cobbling together partial prints to restore the whole. As such it has been included in the National Film Registry.
Short Film Saturday: Munro (1960)

Free Movie Friday: Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) (1920)
Take a little over an hour to enjoy one of the greatest films ever made. Nicolas Cage’s feelings on this film in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent are completely justified.
