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 Victors -- 1963 -- Carl Foreman - great anti-war film
So World War II was the 'good' war. This film begs to differ. It was made one year before Lyndon Johnson used the Gulf of Tonkin incident as an excuse to escalate the Vietnam War and brutalize a third-world nation. So the anti-war cynicism in this film had little effect in dissuading Americans against fighting again. Well, at least Foreman tried.
