That was a joke. I was being flippant. ;) Of course, RYM isn't perfect. As far as your points about RYM go, I agree on all counts. For movies, I'd rather have the definition as wide as possible. But...

Berlin Alexanderplatz is a movie, too, so whatever. Marvel films are films, of course. But if we count them as films, then so we should Les Vampires. I'm for a liberal definition of film. ;)

I watched most of these shorts as an adult! And yes, an awful lot of cartoons and early silents!

You might be right, but to actually prove that, you'd have to prove that there were no other movies with the POV of gangsters. Like, there was no Scarface or The Public Enemy. And no movies on the...

Re: One Of The Most Classic Crime Movies Just Got Censored By Film-Lov

I thought some more about the issue of altering old art, and there's a completely non-political side to it: AI-enhanced early silents.

There's that trend of people using neural network AI to color...

Re: One Of The Most Classic Crime Movies Just Got Censored By Film-Lov

Censoring any art, let alone art of yore is a fool's...

Re: Minio's Ramblings on Cinema

Our tastes, no matter how opinionated and elitist, are prone to change. And fighting the change is pointless. Sometimes the change is so subtle, we don't notice it. But others do. In many ways,...

Re: Countries with smalltime movie scenes that you still want to explo

African cinema is pretty lackluster for the most part. Better to stick to Japan, Europe, and the US.

Lovely movie. Another one from the 30s is The Young in Heart 1938). And yet another 30s gem Pilgrimage (1933). Babička [Grandmother] (1940) is super cute, too.
