Upcoming Episodes

[bleary 333]

Just to piggyback on the last post, if you find yourself in the situation that I did, in that the Redux version was free at my local library while the Original version was not, you can note the changes in this quite precise and meticulous list: https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=769

Having seen both versions, I enjoy both, but the original is certainly tighter (which is saying something for a 147 minute movie).  If you've never seen either version before, I would definitely recommend shelling out the few bucks to see the original version.

I believe Psycho (and most of Hitchcock’s movies) is being removed at the end of September. So if you want to watch it before it leaves Starz, I’d do it as soon as possible

Noooooo they’re doing Raiders during my vacation!

Noooooooooo!

nooooooo!

NO!

According to Shudder's website, they Psycho, in addition to a number of other Hitchcock movies.

Filmstruck does not (it has 15 different Hitchcock movies)

Guess I have to start checking Shudder now

Given the number of horror/horror-adjacent movies on the list, I suspect you'll mostly be in the clear. 

Since it's October, I was thinking of signing up again, and when checking what they had, Hitchcock stuff was listed close to the top.

semi-official mini-update

on today's mini-episode of HDTGM, Paul mentioned Unspooled and that these 3 movies were ones he watched. Probably stands to reason The African Queen is right after the next two already confirmed ones, but I guess it's possible he skipped a week in there since he was just being conversational.

Ep 22 - Psycho

Ep 23 - Raiders Of The Lost Ark

(soon) - The African Queen

10/11 Ep 22 - Psycho

10/18 Ep 23 - Raiders Of The Lost Ark

10/25 Ep 24 - The African Queen

11/1 Ep 25 - Duck Soup

heartthrobs: Bates, Ford, Bogey, Harpo

[bleary 333]

Psycho is still on Shudder

Raiders Of The Lost Ark is still on Amazon Prime

The African Queen is still on Netflix

Duck Soup will be harder to find on subscription streaming services.  Occasionally it pops up on TCM's On Demand movies, but it doesn't appear to be in TCM's upcoming TV schedule, so it's doubtful it will make it to their streaming site, but I'll keep looking over the next few weeks.  My guess is that unless you're like me and already own the DVD, you'll have to pay to rent from the usual vendors.  As usual, check your local public library.
Edit: Duck Soup is apparently included in the subscription service IndieFlix.  I had never heard of this, but they have a 7 day free trial.  Any IndieFlix subscribers out there?

Filmstruck is shutting down at the end of November, so we might want to check which top 100s are on there now so people can binge them if they so choose.

This is the worst news I've heard in quite a while.

While it lasts, you can catch the following AFI Top 100 Films on FilmStruck/Criterion Channel:

1. Citizen Kane

5. Singin' in the Rain

11. City Lights

31. Maltese Falcon (expires Nov 15)

36. Bridge on the River Kwai (expires Nov 2)

37. The Best Years of Our Lives 

38. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (expires Nov 15)

44. The Philadelphia Story

55. North By Northwest

58. The Gold Rush

63. Cabaret

78. Modern Times

88. Bringing Up Baby

98. Yankee Doodle Dandy

 

Additionally, it seems the following titles are expiring today (if you want to spend your Friday night binging AFI Films):

7. Lawrence of Arabia

16. Sunset Boulevard

22. Some Like It Hot

47. A Streetcar Named Desire

I feel like this is the appropriate response.

[bleary 333]

Oops, forgot:

41. King Kong

is also on FilmStruck now.

[ol' eddy wrecks 212]

To add to the list of movies one could watch during the no-movie/QA week (AFI movies on filmstruck, AFI movies you've missed, AFI movies on the ballot or the 1997 list not on the final 2007 list), I noticed Paul's movie, Slice, is also free on Amazon Prime right now.  And I guess we're still close enough to Halloween...

I too am disappointed about Filmstruck shutting down. That said, I'd like to politely remind everyone that their local public library is a wonderful resource for your AFI Top 100 needs. It helps if your library is part of a inter-library loan system, since my library is. I haven't had any issues loaning all of these titles. 

Just a suggestion! You get all of the movies for free (legally!) and you support your library. You'll feel great about it in the end. 

Unrelated: Vote on Tuesday!

Great point, I think I've gotten 9 of the 25 films so far from my local library.  (Still haven't had to pay to rent a single film on the list.)
