Now that I keep on online record, I can add to this list--first time viewings that I loved in March-- Icarus (2017) - This year's Oscar winner for best documentary is a "must see." Currently streaming on Netflix. The Story of Dr. Wassell (1944) - One of the best of the C.B. DeMille/Gary Cooper collaborations because it is a biopic about a fairly normal doctor, caught in a bad situation. You can YouTube it here: www.bing.com/videos/search?q=the+story+of+dr+wassell+1944&view=detail&mid=4BC58E9D74DBF1F2250D4BC58E9D74DBF1F2250D&FORM=VIRE Sergeant Rutledge (1960) - An interesting Ford cavalry movie without John Wayne gives homage to the Buffalo Soldier in a great western courtroom drama. The Naked Edge (1961) - Gary Cooper's last movie was a pleasant surprise to me. I could only find it on YouTube, but the quality is quite good: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHIPfVrjlnsThe Good Fairy (1935) - Is a great William Wyler comedy from the 30s that can be YouTubed in 10 continuous sections. It is really worth a look see and the video quality is quite good, too: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0543B4DF2513B1E5 . Bad Girl (1931) is another overlooked drama romance from the 30s. This can be YouTubed also: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWltM9MXuuU. There were two Shorts from this year's Oscar nominations that I really liked: My Nephew Emmett - dramatizes the arrest and killing of Emmett Till--a 14-year-old black youth from Chicago who was visiting his uncle and cousins in the South in 1955. The Silent Child - presents the problems of a small deaf girl who just wanted to be heard (and seen).
