Scarface: The Shame of a Nation (1932)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 17, 2015
Gangsters, prohibition, Al Capone, the St. Valentine Day’s Massacre. It all sounds like some distant piece of folklore that by now is far removed from our modern day sensibilities. But when films like The Public Enemy, Little Caesar, and of course Scarface came out, these things were at the fo read more

Shame (1968, Ingmar Bergman)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 27, 2015
Shame has three or four sections. Director Bergman doesn’t draw a lot of attention to the transition between the first parts, he hides it in the narrative. Liv Ullmann and Max von Sydow are a married couple living on an island following a war. Not much information about the war, but they̵ read more
Shame (2011)
Le Mot du Cinephiliaque Posted by Michael on Sep 2, 2013
Shame (Steve McQueen, 2011)
This second collaboration of actor-director Michael Fassbender and Steve McQueen is a fascinating tale of the modern day sickness of sex addiction of the emptiness and the isolation of the post-modern world. Brandon (Fassbender) is a successful executive living in New Yo read more

Movies Silently Posted by Movies, Silently on Jul 21, 2013
Gerhard Ritterband plays the naughty apprentice in Ernst Lubitsch’s comedy The Doll. He has ruined the doll of the title and threatens to commit… well, not exactly suicide since the window is on the first floor… The icing on the cake is the fact that he concludes the whole routin read more
Scarface: The Shame of a Nation
Once Upon a Screen Posted by Aurora on Mar 9, 2013
Crime and criminals have been the focus of motion pictures since the birth of the medium. However, it wasn’t until the sound era (the 1930s) that gangster films truly became an entertaining, popular way to attract audiences to theaters for a “full” experience, one might say. The read more
Shame (1968)
Le Mot du Cinephiliaque Posted by Michael on Apr 26, 2012
Shame aka Skammen (Ingmar Bergman, 1968)
Through the 1950’s and 1960’s, Ingmar Bergman kept a pace of a film per year almost like a Woody Allen of its time. Nowadays, Allen is more of a hit or miss case with his more recent films. In the case of Bergman, it was more of a hit than a mi read more

For shame!
True Classics Posted by Brandie on Oct 13, 2010
One of my guilty-pleasure shows is Glee. It’s not the best show on television (not by a long shot), but it’s an enjoyable distraction nonetheless. I like the musical numbers and the interaction between the too-adorable-for-reality cast members, particularly Chris Colfer’s delicious read more
Cinema Shame: The Wild Bunch (1969)
Out of the Past - A Classic Film Blog Posted by Raquel Stecher on Nov 30, -0001
Four years ago I created a watch list for 2014. These were the films that I hadn't seen yet that I wanted to make a point to watch that year. The Wild Bunch (1969) was one of those films. Unfortunately I never got to it that year or since. So when Jay of Cinema Shame prompted bloggers to submit thei read more
Cinema Shame: Le samouraï (1967)
Out of the Past - A Classic Film Blog Posted by Raquel Stecher on Nov 30, -0001
When I was curating my Cinema Shame list for 2018, I looked to FilmStruck for some inspiration. Le samouraï (1967) is a staple on FilmStruck's Criterion Channel and one of the first films I noticed on the service when I signed up as a beta user. I wasn’t familiar with director Jean-P read more

The completist in me has spoken and I must finish Steve McQueen's filmography. Even if that means watching a terrible movie like Tom Horn (1980). And yes it is indeed terrible.
This film is part of my Cinema Shame Challenge for 2019 in which I read more
My Cinema Shame Statement for 2019
Out of the Past - A Classic Film Blog Posted by Raquel Stecher on Nov 30, -0001
For my 2019 Cinema Shame challenge I'm shaking things up a bit by watching films from the year I was born. And there is no shame in telling you that 1980 happens to be my birth year. Although there is a bit of shame in admitting how few films released in 1980 I've actually seen. Not very many. So I read more
Cinema Shame: Fiddler on the Roof (1971)
Out of the Past - A Classic Film Blog Posted by Raquel Stecher on Nov 30, -0001
Fiddler on the Roof (1971) was always one of those classic musicals that I've meant to see but I never got around to. When the 2014 TCM Classic Film Festival schedule was announced, I saw the film was part of their Sunday morning line-up. And the director Norman Jewison, who has directed some o read more

When I was crafting my Cinema Shame list for 2019 Xanadu (1980) was the first film that came to mind. A roller skating disco fantasy? Yes, please! If you're unfamiliar with Cinema Shame make sure you visit the official website for details. Cinema Shame is read more
Cinema Shame: American Gigolo (1980)
Out of the Past - A Classic Film Blog Posted by Raquel Stecher on Nov 30, -0001
My 2019 Cinema Shame challenge got off to an auspicious start. Seven days into the year not only had I posted my challenge but I had also already seen two of the movies on my list. Then months passed, I never reviewed those films and now I find myself mid-April having to start all over again. B read more
Cinema Shame: The Grass is Greener (1960)
Out of the Past - A Classic Film Blog Posted by Raquel Stecher on Nov 30, -0001
Anyone who knows me knows I love Robert Mitchum. He's my favorite actor. Bar none. So why did it take me so long to watch him in The Grass is Greener (1960)? Well I was getting around to it. It's been on my to-be-watched list for years. There aren't many Mitchum comedies so maybe I was saving t read more
