Jaws (1975)
ALL MOVIES SPOILED
On this Midnight Movie, Michael Floyd is back with his inadequately-sized fishing boat, the Orca, to take Jeremy out fishing, not for chasin’ bluegills and Tommy Cods, but for a 25 foot, Great White named Bruce. Unfortunately Brian went out for a night swim with Chrissy and they got into what the coroner was told to deem as a boating accident.

The Little Shop of Horrors (1960)
https://youtu.be/OwgAMqg6eLQ

Jack Nicholson has a small role in this Roger Corman horror-comedy, cult classic. This picture was shot on a micro budget reusing the sets from A Bucket of Blood (another Corman classic starring Dick Miller). All the interiors were shot in two days before the set was torn down. The film developed a cult following and was adapted into an off-broadway musical in 1982 and eventually back into a movie in 1986 with Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Steve Martin, and Bill Murray playing the role Nicholson originally played. If you’re a fan of the musical, check out where it all began.

The Broadway Melody (1929)
https://youtu.be/BuB2HVP-mNU

This Oscar-winning, pre-Code musical was the first sound film to win an Academy Award for Best Picture (originally called Outstanding Picture). It also featured an early use of Technicolor for one of it’s musical numbers (The Wedding of the Painted Doll), which spark the trend for the next few years of color being used in a lot of musicals. Sadly, however, the two-color Technicolor sequence has been lost and only survives today in black and white.

Hallelujah (1929)
https://youtu.be/CuGHPV5lAAA

This pre-code film is a milestone in cinema history, offering an early mainstream portrayal of black characters as complex, multi-dimensional people. While often cited as Hollywood’s first all-star African American feature film, the musical, Hearts in Dixie, actually beat it to the punch by a couple months.

Hallelujah! marked the rise of Nina Mae McKinney (pronounced “nye-nuh”) as the first black movie star. Directed by King Vidor, the film was a significant departure from the uglier racial stereotypes that dominated early cinema. Vidor tried for years to get this picture made in the studio system, but was rejected at every turn. However, with the advent of sound, and the popularity of The Jazz Singer, Vidor—by investing his own salary to offset the costs—finally managed to convince MGM to make this all-black, all-talkie musical.

The film was groundbreaking in its dignified portrayal of black life, with McKinney playing the seductive “Chick,” the first portrayal of a black woman as an object of desire in mainstream cinema. She was a huge sensation after this role and was signed to a five year contract with MGM, only she never got a part this juicy again. And it took a long time to see another onscreen depiction of a beautiful, strong black woman in a Hollywood film. While the film contained some lingering stereotypes, it also brought gravitas to black characters, offering emotional depth and humanity.

Road to Bali (1952)
https://youtu.be/8TSCp4Qf9pQ

This is the sixth of seven “Road to ...” pictures with Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour. The Road to... series were all comedies with minimal plots, but endless gags. They all satirized pop culture from their time and were filled with cameos. Luckily the comedy is so strong, you don’t have to catch all the references to enjoy them, but it’s a little bonus for those who do.

If this is your introduction to the Road films, this is a really great place to start. Road to Bali is the only Road picture in technicolor and it’s directed by Hal Walker, who directed the bulk of the series. Not exactly a lightweight, Dude.

My Man Godfrey (1936)
https://youtu.be/vxK_pu0NyLQ

This is one of the greatest screwball comedies ever. It’s so fun. It doesn’t shy away from the awfulness of the world, particularly during the Great Depression, but it satirizes everything and gets you to laugh at the absurdity of it all. It handles the setting so well. It just exists. It doesn’t deny it, but it doesn’t wallow in it either. The focus is on the Bullock family and all their disfunction and madcap antics. And at the center of it all is Godfrey, in one of William Powell’s best roles. He’s the perfect straight man to Carole Lombard’s dizzy, starry-eyed banana man. Eugene Pallette is always a delight, but this is probably his best role. What’s not to love about this film?

The Cocoanuts (1929) https://youtu.be/v3w9X0vdhqE

This pre-Code musical comedy is the Marx Brothers picture. Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo get into hi jinx conning, robbing and speculating on Florida land during the land boom in the 1920’s. In between antics, it’s a musical with big dance numbers.

Santa Fe Trail (1940)
https://youtu.be/YXfX1NyVzTI

This American Civil War picture is told as a western and was directed by Michael Curtiz (director of Casablanca, Mildred Pierce and Captain Blood). It is the first of two movies where Raymond Massey plays abolitionist, John Brown. Fifteen years later Massey would play Brown again in Seven Angry Men, this time in a more sympathetic light.

Nosferatu: Eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922)
https://youtu.be/xVWzAmipkwk

Due to popular demand, here is the version with the German intertitles. There are optional English subtitles you can turn off and on. It is also the tinted version, which is a process some silent films would implement where they would dye the black and white film different colors to create a different effect. In this case, the yellow tinting indicates day, the blue tinting indicates night and the pink for dusk. Watch the tinted version and find out which version you like better, black and white or tinted.

This unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula was made in 1922 by F. W. Murnau and starring Max Schreck as Count Orlok (the unauthorized Count Dracula). Due to a lawsuit from Stoker’s widow, the film was supposed to have been destroyed. Thankfully for film history, it was not. The filmmakers behind the 1931, Bela Lugosi version of Dracula were able to get a print of this movie and took lots of inspiration from this film. If you liked the Robert Eggers version, you should watch the original.
