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.

Paths of Glory - 1958 - Stanley Kubrick
French soldiers refuse to leave their trenches to attack the "Ant Hill", a heavily fortified German defensive emplacement. To do so would be suicide, as everybody knows...except the French general who has ordered the attack. When the French soldiers ordered to attack simply refuse to do so, some are chosen to be executed as a message to any French soldiers in the future who might consider disobeying an order. Can these soldiers be saved from execution? You can watch the film and see here:
