This week features a pretty solid and varied collection of movies. I’m not going to say some don’t look offensively bad, but I think the good outweighs them this week. The Warner Brothers Archive has some fun looking movies and Netflix continues to add some better than average movies to their instant watch service.

He’s done a great job cocooning himself and his style is so pure that it feels like we’re uncovering these wonderful lost masterpieces from long ago.
