Le Million was great.
Just saw Roofs of Paris, yay.
Need to see A nous la liberte, and entr'acte.

peeps even if you have a crush on Veronica Lake (like I did) I Married a witch is kinda so-so. But then again try it, like it, and prove me wrong.

Just a heads-up for all those active in the Yearly Consensus. We are coming to 1925 soon and this man has 2 features and 1 short for that year: Le fantôme du Moulin-Rouge, Le voyage imaginaire and Paris qui dort. Awesome titles, right?

Was on the verge of turning off The Ghost Goes West this morning. Then it got slightly interesting, but it is still a hideous film overall. 6/10. Stick with the good ones first.

Last week I also saw L'entracte. Not bad, not bad. :lol:

And Then There Were None (René Clair, 1945)

yeah Walter Huston’s great and all but Dr. Armstrong was basically written for Vincent Price. Anyway, this is just really fun; blackly comic, visually inventive, skillful and stuff. “I get it!” *dies*
