A community to discuss, debate, and celebrate the history of cinema, emphasis on—but not exclusively—the groundbreaking, avant garde and experimental, with a healthy dose of irreverence instead of the usual navel-gazing that usually surrounds cineastic appreciation.
Community Rules
"All is fair in love and war" but keep it witty or, at minimum, intelligent. If you can't do either, keep walking. This community's administrators will not abide simpletons nor bullies.
"Franchise picture" fans and similar ilk, be forewarned: you are open game to be verbally flayed in this public square. Did you not see the name of this community?
There ~~may~~ will be occasionally adult subject matter (NSFW)—such is the nature of the beast. While it is not the scope of this community to purvey nor condone extreme or gratuitous sex or violence, neither subjects are necessarily condemned when in context with the subject matter at hand. It is also not the scope of this community to discuss only adult themes; how else could one discuss Fleming's The Wizard of Oz (1939) or Donen/Kelly's Singing In The Rain (1952)?
It is suggested you do not subscribe if you are highly sensitive to either subjects.
It is strongly suggested that authors of submitted posts mark NSFW content as such. Err on the side of doubt.

Click the link, try it yourselves, and let me know if your results are the same as mine.
Remember, kids: in life Context is Everything.
