Does a travelogue like Adelaide Advances (1954) count? I watched it recently on YouTube. Those old travelogues are pretty cool. |

As long as the original intentions of the makers was to show in Cinemas, and that opens the doors to all old travellouges, feature films, short films, cartoons and documentaries |

As long as the original intentions of the makers was to show in Cinemas, and that opens the doors to all old travellouges, feature films, short films, cartoons and documentaries If so, then I'll add these two travelogues: This Year-London (1951) Brisbane City in the Sun (1954) An early comedy: What Happened on Twenty-third Street, New York City (1901) Also: The Girl from Chicago (1932) - African-American drama. One of the worst films I've ever seen. It really sucks. It makes some of Ed Wood's films look good. |

I never said the movies had to be great, good, acceptable or worse, and just because you mentioned Girl from Chicago, I somehow want to watch it. Sometimes even the worst Tripe is good to see, just to clear the mind, before one watches the real deal, ...on a lazy Sunday afternoon, when the rest is curing their Saturday alcohol.  |

The plot of the film is quite good. But the irritating acting and sub-Wood production values are what kills it. With all the remakes being made, this might not be a bad choice for an improved version. |

More travelogues, these appear on the YouTube channel "NFSA Films", but I haven't viewed them yet. They aren't listed on IMDb (anyone wanna correct that? I do make pages on there occasionally but doing that really stresses me)
Postcard from Perth (1954)
Souvenir of Sydney (1954)

I'm glad somewhat was able to dredge up a Helsikini title. My brain was working overtime for a city from that neck of the woods and I couldn't come up with a movie to match Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Riga, Vilna or anything nearby.

Life In Australia: Hobart (1966)
I watched this a bit earlier. It's a 20-minute documentary, with no narration nor dialogue, showing scenes in the city of Hobart in Tasmania. I enjoyed watching it very much. This short was intended to be shown internationally, to encourage people to migrate to Australia. There was a whole series of "Life in Australia" shorts done for that purpose.
EDIT: I forgot to mention I made an IMDb page for it, which I hope I didn't screw up.

Important time documents of a time gone by. The mailman having time to drink beer and play pool, before he took care of his garden with his family. Chocolate factory scenes made me yearn for chocolate. All people in Hobart are caucasians. It reminded me of all those educational 16 mm films that they used to show in school in mid-1960s. Again Thanks for Sharing!! |
