Körkarlen (Korkarlen) (The Phantom Carriage) (Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness)
A beautiful & moving Swedish silent film from 1921. One can really see how much of an influence this had on future filmmakers, from the flashbacks (sometimes within flashbacks) to the special effects (still surprisingly effective) to the storyline itself. Influential stuff.

Midnight
"...in the Czerny family there was a streak of, shall we say, eccentricity...Why else should his grandfather have sent me as an engagement present one rollerskate covered with Thousand Island dressing?"


A great example of the old saying "they don't make them like this anymore." This is a wonderful screwball comedy from 1939 with Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche, John Barrymore, and Mary Astor. The script was co-written by Billy Wilder and has several lines in it that had me laughing out loud. The film glides along seemingly effortlessly, bolstered by the terrific cast and script.
A funny and charming gem. Highly recommended.

The Wrong Man
"An innocent man has nothing to fear, remember that."


This is a different kind of Hitchcock film, although it does follow a common Hitchcock theme: a man wrongly accused for a crime he didn't commit. Based on a true story, it's shot in black and white in a realistic, semi-documentary fashion. Even the ending felt more realistic than most classic Hollywood movies I've seen.

Henry Fonda is perfectly cast and gives a great performance, often times not speaking much but saying everything with his facial expressions and eyes. During his arrest for a robbery he didn't commit, we feel his disbelief, confusion, anger, shame, and ultimately despair.
All in all, it's a very good film noir. Recommended.
