There are a zillion great, old films for free on youtube. I wanted to bring them together on one blog for lovers of older films or people who want to learn about film history and see some of the best films ever. When I was younger there was a theater called the Parkway (in Chicago) that showed such films. It was torn down (so it goes). So this blog is kind of my own personal Parkway. djg51qu@gmail.com I will post new films each Saturday.

Onibaba by Kaneto Shindo 1964
During a time of brutal and grueling civil war, when farmers cannot even tend to their fields, two women survive by killing lost samurai and selling their swords and armor. This is a very dark, elemental, pessimistic film in which life is stripped down to its Schopenhauerian essentials. It's a pretty raw movie.
