Open Your Eyes. Alejandro Amenábar. 1997. 
This movie is really fun, but they’ve made some strange choices with the protagonist. He’s consistently such douche canoe that the only thing you can possibly be thinking while this is all going on is “yea! torture him some more!”
The cinematography of this movie is what you find if you look in the dictionary under “blah”, but the performances are good and it’s kinda exciting.
Fun!
Stage Door Canteen. Frank Borzage. 1943. 
This is a very bad transfer, but I think I probably got this from a 50 movie box set… which means that the movie is public domain, so whoever made this DVD probably downloaded it off of teh torrentz: It looks like it’s been sourced from a VHS recording.
This movie is basically a bunch of cameos from entertainers famous at the time. It’s not really much of a movie, but it’s amiable enough.
Fighting Caravans. Otto Brower and David Burton. 1931. 
Oh, Gary Cooper… He’s fine, I guess, but he’s no Cary Grant.
Not that he tries to be.
My internet went away, bit I’m going to go ahead and guess that this isn’t the most well-regarded movie in anybody’s career. It’s a kinda cheap-looking early-30s western with a pretty janky plot.
It just doesn’t seem to movie, even though it’s a road I mean prairie movie . And the jokes are all lame.
It is a bit fascinating to see how an early 1930’s filmmaker portrayed the 1860’s. I’d say pass on this movie unless you are a Gary Cooper fan or a hard core fan of early westerns. 61/100.
The time period depicted here was just 70 years away when then movie was made. That’s less of a time span between when this movie was made and when I’m watching it. And another thing: If I didn’t know that this was made in 1931, I would have guessed it was from the early 50s. It doesn’t look like an early talkie at all: It’s dynamic and huge and confident.
But it’s unfortunately a bad movie.
