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.

Killer of Sheep 1977 Charles Burnett
This is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
This film was made in 1977 but only released in 2007. Nevertheless, it's still meaningful and relevant.
Generally, it's about the African American experience in the American inner-city. You see how fraught the lives of these folks in the film are and how desperate they often are. You see how values are developed and destroyed in a harsh and cruel urban environment.
Basically, watch this film - it's amazing.
Watch the film here:
