World Cinema Classics Free on Youtube, Curated by Daniel Gauss

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 Battle of Algiers by Gillo Pontecorvo 1966

This is a very dynamic movie film which was filmed in documentary style. Some folks consider this to be one of their favorite films of all time. It's about the Algerian people's fight for independence from France after WW II. There are no good guys in this film.
