Instead of putting it in whatever a registry is all copies of the Breakfast Club should be burnt and then the ashes should be fed to John Hughes

Putney Swope and Point Blank are awesome. As is The Lion King. Best Disney feature of the 90s.

No love for The Princess Bride? That movie is a fantastic watch even today.

I didn't even know there was an East of Eden movie. Is it any good? I liked the book in high school

This is the Vitaphone short "The Beau Brummels" that was added this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MasoKzv2cMU Tolkien minority posted:I didn't even know there was an East of Eden movie. Is it any good? I liked the book in high school Directed by Elia Kazan, starring James Dean. I have it on my DVR, but I'd expect it to be essential viewing given the quality of Kazan's other work.

Griffith is remembered as a racist, yet he directed one of the great anti-racism films of the silent era: Broken Blossoms. If it helps any, Griffith toned down The Birth of a Nation enough from the source novel The Clansman that the author Thomas Dixon was pissed off and made his own rebuttal movie (which is lost). Just let it sink in that BOAN wasn't racist enough for its author.

I really loving like Blackboard Jungle. Putney Swope rules. I'm also very surprised that The Birds wasn't already in the registry.
