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.

The Challenge starring Darren McGavin Directed by George McGowan 1970
I don't have any TV movies on this blog, but I had to put The Challenge here.
If Hollywood were smart they'd hire someone to re-write and update this movie and it would be a huge success.
Basically a satellite plunges into the ocean and both China and the USA want it. Because neither country can get it, due to the other, they decide to have a 'surrogate war.' China picks one soldier and the USA picks one soldier to fight each other. The winner gets the satellite. Believe me, the concept works in this film.
Dear Hollywood, all I please ask is that you don't cast Will Smith in the remake. I can't stand that guy. He ruined The Last Man on Earth and he's going to ruin The Wild Bunch.
Please enjoy this amazing TV movie. Darren McGavin ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
