that plus sword and sandal flicks and i think we have a pretty awesome month lined up.


also it is humorous to me that i was aware of blue demon and santo beforehand, but they were in ring personas who became film stars, as opposed to mil, who was originally a film star who became an in ring performer.

my interest in lucha libre extended from my interest in professional wrestling, not from the film angle at all, so it makes sense. i'm just kicking myself constantly for not having discovered mil mascaras earlier.

Sword and sandal would still be September, if we keep our tradition of Italian Cheese Month

So we get 2 whole months of oily musclemen movies, ooh la la

I believe that there are nearly an infinity of luchador movies. Santo alone made probably20.

Of interest to this thread, I have just come across this freely available online (legally) library with an absurd amount of Polish movies. They all seem to have English subtitles.

https://notesfrompoland.com/2022/07/18/hundreds-of-classic-polish-films-made-available-for-free-online/

People who know the films are posting some recommendations elsewhere:

Zacny_Los posted:

Every movie is iconic and worth watching to get to know Polish history and culture. But to choose four:
  • Kieślowski's 'Three Colours White'
  • Wajda's 'Man of Marble'
  • Wojciech Jerzy Has' adaption of Bruno Schulz' The Hourglass Sanatorium
  • Andrzej Munk's 'Bad Luck'

AThousandD posted:

The above selection is a bit on the heavier, more serious side.

If you're looking for something easier to digest, I'd recommend:
  • Jak Rozpętałem II Wojnę Światową (How I Unleashed World War II)
  • Deja Vu - a classic 1920s gangster comedy, made in cooperation with the USSR (and a bit of a cult film there, as far as I can tell)
  • Va Banque series - similar theme to the above
  • Cruise (Rejs) - a cult classic of absurdist comedy
  • Our Folks (Sami Swoi) and the rest of the films in the series - a classic cult series depicting rural life in post-war Poland and a feud between two neighbouring families
  • Forbidden Songs (Zakazane Piosenki) - depicting life in occupied Poland during WWII and how people coped with German oppression
  • King Size (King Sajz) - about, well, schrats in the 1980s
For more serious ones:
  • A Short Film about Love and A Short Film about Killing
  • The Interrogation (Przesłuchanie) - about Stalinist-era repressions

Lokis is the classic Gothic horror, based on Prosper Mérimée's story, often compared to Hammer's horrors:
https://35mm.online/en/vod/feature-films/lokis-manuscript-of-professor-wittembach

Quiet is the Night is a thriller (krimi/giallo), inspired by a case of an early serial killer in the 20s.
https://35mm.online/en/vod/feature-films/quiet-is-the-night

Va Banque is a crime comedy set in the 20s, very similar to The Sting.
https://35mm.online/en/vod/feature-films/va-banque

Sexmission is a comedy about two men who wake up hundreds of years in the future, in a world where only women remain; a Hollywood ripoff was announced a few years ago, and is in development hell.
https://35mm.online/en/vod/feature-films/sexmission

Havana '61 is a very interesting look at Cuba just after Castro's revolution, as shown from the "other side".
https://35mm.online/en/vod/documentary/havana-61

Not sure if any of this would work on Cytube, but in case it does, that How I Unleashed World War II sounds like a fun comedy:

Cool, thanks Saoshyant! Definitely gonna be some treasures in there.

Wednesday July 20, it's time again for the blind swordsman! It's the 1965 chambara classic Zatoichi and the Chess Expert!



Zatoichi is a blind masseuse and gambler in the Edo period who is, secretly, the master of the shikomi-zue; a hidden cane sword. This is the 12th movie where Sintaro Katsu plays him, overall he ended up playing the role in, according to wikipedia, "25 films between 1962 and 1973... 100 episodes across a four season television series from 1974 to 1979, and in a 26th and final film in 1989, which he also directed." If you haven't seen him in action be sure to join us, it's one of my all-time favorite movie series!

4pm PST 7pm EST at https://cytu.be/r/BYOBmovies see you there!


Sig by Heather Papps

Thanks everyone who joined for another Zatoichi, if you liked this film there are a bunch more to check out, here's a couple playlists with a bunch of 'em, plus a whole Zatoichi TV show!

And here's the neat documentary thing we watched before the show, about Australian kids wanting to dress up like the bad guys from a samurai TV show:

This one is well reviewed on IMDB

bfm's life has been a bit busy lately, and i'm recovering from a cold or something! my brain is getting better i promise.

we didn't pick anything, and this is a loosely themed month, we could definitely pop on more zatoichi, or anything, if anyone has a burning desire to watch a specific thing.

did the copy you found have subs? i have found a couple copies on youtube but nothing with subtitles so far. i did watch the coconut tree shield formation catapult and this must be seen in full.

tonite! at the regular time and place! you know the deal, it's been years at this point right?
(the place is https://cytu.be/r/BYOBmovies @ 7pm EDT just in case)

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is evidently a sequel to baahubali: the beginning and i honestly don't want to look anything up about this before watching it because having seen the tree soldier catapult scene was enough. i assume it's like a mahabharata tale or something along those lines? bollywood movies are in my humble opinion, a loving blast. this apparently is tollywood? the tamil version? gosh i need to read up on this more clearly.

ANYWAYS LOOK AT THESE COOL POSTERS.



this one is just under 3 hours, so be sure to stock up on snacks. see you there!
