Films come around once in a lifetime that can be considered universally classic films. The weird part about that is often enough you don't really know when you are in a timeframe that they might be classics down the line. Today we debunk this idea by picking some of those films that we think will live in the hall of fame status in the future. As always we wanna know some of your choices as well as check out the links to help out Ukraine as we discuss modern-day classics

For our last classics film, we picked one that many people may remember being shown in high school, but may not recall the impact. A film about Blanche going to live with her sister Stella and brother-in-law Stanley in New Orleans begins to unravel her fragile mental state. A film that, while based on a play, is at its best when feeling like it is on stage, as well as bringing out several themes that stick with you long after the credits roll. If you haven't seen this one we highly recommend as well as check out the links below to show support to the people of Ukraine, and remember that we don't want realism, we want magic.

Before the times of streaming, pirating movies, or even just buying DVD's there was the original way to watch movies when you couldn't go to the theater. To those of us that were able to experience VHS tapes and everything that went with it, it was a very unique time. Now there are much easier ways to watch a film but we still wanna know how you feel about those big plastic bricks. Once again we are providing links below to help support the people of Ukraine as we also look at the nostalgia of VHS

In our first-ever real comedy film, we take a look at a film that became a top bill for Marilyn Monroe. A film that starts out as Joe and Jerry trying to escape from mobsters, ends with them dressing as women and joining an all-female jazz band. Something that was never thought to happen, however, was the fact that this film broke down gender norms as well as helped to surprising shape the process for movies being released. Once again we are still providing links in the description to support the people of Ukraine and remind you that sometimes "you need to crack a few eggs to make an omelet"

The thing about films that makes us quote them, build fan theories, and talk endlessly about them are those "IT" factors of classic films. However, while some films are renowned as the greatest films ever made, there are also those films that have the same impact but perhaps in a way that wasn't immediately met with it. Today we get to take both of these styles and figure out what makes them recognizably the same yet also so different. As always we wanna know what are your thoughts as we put both against each other in Classics vs Cult classics. Once again, in the description, we will also be continuing to show support to the Ukrainian people with links to help them in this tragic time if you wish to do the same.

"Getting away with murder" has always been a popular phrase but what happens when you dedicate a whole film to it? Continuing Classics Month, we look at the master of suspense from Alfred Hitchcock as he creates a film about Brandon and Philip holding a dinner party for friends and family, just moments after murdering their classmate. Something that broke barriers by being a real-time continuous shot film, feels as if you are right there with the other party members. Once again we are recommending checking out the links in the bio to help out Ukrainian people as well as asking if Brandon thought he was God?

Many people believe that with films always adapting and ever-changing that new must be better. The issue with that is that lightning can strike at any point in time, and many of those times happened to be when color was not possible for filmmaking. Black and white films can convey so many different themes and feelings that are unique to a cinema experience that it's oftentimes overlooked, but not to us. As always let us know what you think about black and white films as we once again are recommending links in the description for Ukrainian relief, as well as looking at the impact of Black and White films

All month long we are reviewing some of the classics in the film world. Today we follow the story of Jim Stark as he tries to start fresh in a new town but is quickly involved in knife fights, car crashes, and shootouts with the police. This happens to be the breakout performance of the legendary James Dean using the method style and while we know this is in all sense of the word a classic, we might be in the minority of not liking it but that doesn't make us a chicken. All month long we will also be promoting and offering links in the description below to various websites that offer help with the horrors involving the Ukrainian war

Making a good first impression is key in most situations, perhaps no more so than when it comes to films. An introduction can make or break a character and usually can determine whether or not they are remembered through the halls of movies, or forgotten to the age of videotapes. As always we wanna know some of those first appearances that stuck with you and hope you listen in as we discuss some of our favorite character introductions

How far are you willing to go to protect your family? Are you willing to become an enemy of the state and go basically insane to free your mother? Today we follow the not-so-true story of Ned Kelly and his journey from a boy, to a man, and finally a crazed leader in late 1800s Australia. A film that has a stellar sound design, breathtaking shots, and overall wonderful acting unfortunately is not enough to save this film which becomes very confusing for most of it with a rough storyline that feels like it does not add up. For most this can still be a fun film, sadly for us, it's not "bloody bulletproof boys"
