As usual I tend not to repeat the movies I have mentioned (some many times) previously, but please feel free to contact me if you have a question about any particular film.
On March 1 are King Vidor's masterful silent film The Crowd (1928) and Billy Wilder's Double Indemnity (1944), one of the first film noirs.
On the 2nd are Chaplin's The Great Dictator and Hitchcock's Foreign Correspondent; these very different films are both from 1940.
On the 4th are Leo McCarey's Ruggles of Red Gap (1935), Fritz Lang's corrosive The Big Heat (1953) and Josef von Sternberg's stylish Shanghai Express (1932).
The 6th is more or less devoted to mental hospitals, including Robert Rossen's intelligent Lilith (1964) and Samuel Fuller's sensational Shock Corridor (1963)
The 11th includes Lubitsch's sparkling Trouble in Paradise (1932) and two impressive films by French director Eric Rohmer: Love in the Afternoon (1972) and Claire's Knee (1970).
On the 14th is John Ford's tribute to scriptwriter Spig Wead The Wings of Eagles (1957)
On the 18th is Allan Dwan's Brewster's Millions (1945), Joseph H. Lewis's great Gun Crazy (1956) and Don Siegel's Madigan (1968), about cops in New York.
On the 19th is Douglas Sirk's A Scandal in Paris (1946), Robert Bresson's austerely beautiful A Man Escaped (1956), Chaplin's Pilgrim (1923) and Nicholas Ray's They Live by Night (1949).
On the 20th are Chaplin's Modern Times (1936) and John Ford's The Searchers (1956).
On the 22nd is Mark Sandrich's Shall We Dance? (1937), my favorite Rogers/Astaire film.
On the 25th are von Sternberg's The Scarlet Empress (1934) and Jean Renoir's kinetic Cancan (1955)
And on the 27th are two beautiful John Ford films: Wagon Master (1950) and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949).
