Two Videos About American Film

[cinema_babe]

The videos here and in the following post are two amazing pieces by Chuck Workman. The first was commissioned by Turner Classic Movies in 1994 to commemorate 100 years of American cinema. The second is called Precious Images and features clips from hundreds of movies (500 according to YouTube)

These videos remind me of why I love movies so much (as if I could forget.) there are time I wish I was a movie so I could move people by casting flickering light and shadow on a 30 foot screen.

ETA:Hmmmmm, it seems that LJ will only let me embed one video without tinkering with the code which I don't feel like doing this morning. I'll put the other video in another post.

Feh.

Ohh, thank you! Every once in a while I overwhelmed with feeling of "the rest of the world is crazy and worthless" and that video clip was a nice reminder that there's beautiful stuff being made out there too.

A wonderful clip and if I had the time to obses over it, I'd like to see each and every movie fetured in that clip: the ones I recognized were great.
