...has come to an end.
From January 1 2019 to December 31 2019 I have celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the studio United Artists. I have watched over 130 films from its founding year to 1980 the year HEAVEN'S GATE brought the studio down. I have included THE SECRET OF NIMH, since its opening scene of the UA logo was my first introduction to the association. I wish to mention Clive Hirshorn's Book THE UNITED ARTISTS STORY in recognizing its output. In chronological order (although I didn't watch it as such):
1919 HIS MAJESTY THE AMERICAN, BROKEN BLOSSOMS
1920 THE MARK OF ZORRO, POLLYANA, WAY DOWN EAST
1921 THE THREE MUSKETEERS, LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY

1924 AMERICA, THE THIEF OF BAGDAD
1925 THE GOLD RUSH, LITTLE ANNIE ROONEY
1926 THE SON OF THE SHEIK, THE BLACK PIRATE, SPARROWS
1927 MY BEST GIRL, THE GENERAL, THE BELOVED ROGUE

1982 THE SECRET OF NIMH
This is something I've planned to do for a year before. I toyed with it back 2009 for its 90th Anniversary. There were a lot of films I missed out due to being unable to see it on TV, video, or YouTube, or disinterest or missed chance. ROBIN HOOD, A WOMAN IN PARIS, ISN'T LIFE WONDERFUL?, THE ADVENTURES OF MARCO POLO, SADIE THOMPSON, RAIN, MOULIN ROUGE, SEVEN DAYS TO MAY, SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS, EXODUS, TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, HAIR, LAST TANGO IN PARIS, etc. But I think I did very well.
