A Note on the Following Section: Put simply, it is embarrassing. What we have here is my flaccid conflation of the first 25 years of cinema, and then only the feature-lengths. I need to order these by the year (at back to 1920 or so), and will do that in the forseeable future. However, the whole era really needs work, as I remain -- even to this day -- fairly illiterate of many of its feature-length masterstrokes. But that can be fixed, and will. In other words, watch this space. Till then, here's the ludicrously titled...
