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.

Gates to Paradise - by Andrzej Wajda - 1968
Wajda made some amazing films. This one is about the Children's Crusade of 1212.
Basically, this film explores individual motivation for participation in widespread social or religious movements. You always have a few true believers but then you get folks with ulterior motives or the wrong motives entirely. Some folks might even be participating in movements of liberation against their will.
