That's nice. Thank you Richard, this makes my day. I'd like to know more (list of titles, commentaries, extras, etc).
These forgotten films deserved to be rediscovered by many.

It's too bad that Charley Chase's best period, the silent period - I'm a fan of silent comedy, in my view his sound era is interesting but not outstanding - d...

This was released as an extra in the Criterion Blu-Ray edition of "Modern Times", in 2010. It was screened for the first time for years at the Pordenone Silent film Festival in the fall of 2007. I don't like so much Chaplin's performances without his tramp costume and makeup, but this is a...

I'm aware of an astonishing project, conceived and developed by an eminent film historian and producer, the great Paul Gierucki. An Arbuckle DVD Anthology and a marvellous book about his life and film career. I ...
