Some recents: The Warriors (1979), Breakin' 2 (1984), Wild Style (1983), 2 Girls and a Sailor (1944), Gang's All Here (1943), Pandora's Box (1929), Umbrellas of CH ERbourg (1964), Can Can (1960), Pin-Up Girl (1944), On the Avenue (1937), Hong Kong in Noctorne (1967) and a documentary Festival Panafrican D'Alger (1969) that came doubled with another feature that I've yet to watch, Eldridge Cleaver Black Panther (1969)
I'm currently going through 80s hip hop movies and have a few to go, but on the look out for more for sure (Beat Street from 1984 and Krush Groove from 1985 both on the way). 2 Girls wasn't great, I'm not really a fan of June Allyson. On The Avenue had some great visuals - I'm not long off a Busby Berkeley obsession and there was definitely a touch of his behaviour to the big beds number. Umbrellas - my god at the Italian male lead, I had to look him up. Pin-Up Girl was a flushable Betty Grable musical vehicle (I think there's a reason she never became a true tentpole icon of the era despite being absolutely huge). Can Can - I'm totally late to the Shirley McClaine train and am shocked I overlooked her in both this and Sweet Charity. Hong Kong, it's a remake of a Japanese film that was shot by the same director anyway - I'd love to track down more JP cinema, but so many of my searches for titles proves absolutely fruitless ("Tokyo Cinderella" might just be an unfortunate name to google, but that's the one I remember without looking at any list). The Festival documentary is in French, but I bought it more for the dancing anyway - there are some really graphic shots of war injuries in there. I burn my DVDs straight to my laptop, but perhaps in the case of this documentary should really look out a DVD player to watch with subtitles, especially for the Black Panther one, which I'm doubtful will have any musical numbers in it. Until the next time..
