Top 5 Michael Curtiz Movies
Who’s Michael Curtiz, you ask? He directed Casablanca, silly. While classic film fans and people who neglect their children to have more TCM watching time know this and know it well, Michael Curtiz is a little of an unsung directorial hero. This man made movies – 50 in Europe, over 100 in the US, spanning [...]
The Movie Snob
In his profile, Larry from The Movie Snob proclaims “Working tirelessly for more than thirty years to ruin film watching for family and friends.” Don’t we all Larry, don’t we all. Or at least we make our family and friends wish we would just shut up already. But I digress. The Movie Snob ruins nothing. [...]
Inside Out LGBT Film Festival 2013: Pit Stop (2013)
Urban gay relationships get a lot of attention in pop culture via movies, television shows, and popular novels. But what are gay relationships in the ‘burbs, or heaven help us, the rural, fly-over parts of North America.

100 Years of Movies
100 years of Movies is a blog on a mission, which is quite neatly stated on The Mission page. Pick a year and explore movies made in that year. Neato, huh? If you’re wondering, 100 Years of Movies is currently swimming in the 1931 pool, with Svengali, Platinum Blonde, and Monkey Business just to name a [...]
Inside Out LGBT Film Festival 2013: Valentine Road (2013)
In 2008, the seaside town of Oxnard, California, was rocked by the shooting death of Lawrence “Larry” King, a 15-year-old biracial, LGBTQ student at the hands of his white, 14-year-old classmate Brandon McInerney. The tragedy at the heart of this story is quickly lost as details emerge and finger pointing starts. Was this a hate [...]

I Thank You is pretty bare bones as far as websites go. But it’s not bare bones in terms of engaging and interesting content on the topics of classic movies and film history. From the most recent post about Birth of a Nation to the deep archive of content, conveiently organized by director or actor/actress [...]

Comet Over Hollywood
So the first post I saw when I visited Comet Over Hollywood was a tribute to Joseph Cotten. I almost left, but no – I soldiered on! (See how reasonable I can be, even in the face of Cotten face?) I’m glad I did or I would have missed out on the awesomeness that is [...]
