Sarah Paulson and Mark Duplass in Blue Jay (2016)

A list of potential titles to be viewed at our local private movie nights in Baltimore. Contact me if you have any suggestions...!  It seems we are leaning towards the fairly to moderately obscure and creepy side of awesomely deep and beautiful cinema, and particularly things many of us have not seen already...)  I threw in some shorts and collections of shorts as well, but can always bring plenty more.

Films that are outstanding for unusual reasons. some of them I don’t care for all that much (or at all), and won’t be found on any of the other lists; others I do genuinely like in some way, or a lot, but are so unique that they belong here. too. and a few are unknown source material for more-famous remakes.

Anita Loos, Chester Conklin, John Emerson, Ford Sterling, and Alice White in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1928)

John Cusack, Curtis Armstrong, Diane Franklin, Tina Littlewood, Yuji Okumoto, and Dan Schneider in Better Off Dead (1985)
