Actually, it hasn't been on the list for a few years now. But it should be!

Whoa, HORSE THIEF is no longer on the TSPDT 1000??? What gives!

I'm amused that BRIGHTER SUMMER DAY can fit in only 2 parts online. It barely fits 2 DVDs!

I would have loved to attend that Norshteyn event. I was so happy that you fully connected with his TALE OF TALES. I love HEDGEHOG IN THE FOG even more, if that's even possible. Everything I've seen by him is touched with greatness. One of the world's great living artists, without a doubt!

Hope you enjoyed Prague!

You seem to be on a Czech kick of late; coincidentally I was just in Prague.

It would have been great if you had been able to attend the Yuri Norstein event in NYC a couple weeks ago. I don't know anyone who went to see him…

YouTube remains my last resort for viewing a movie, but in so many cases, there are movies available for viewing there that I’ve never been able to find elsewhere. Here are some discoveries, none of which are on the TSPDT 1,000, but I value them anyway:

Earlier this week, I watched MARKETA LAZAROVA (Frantisek Vlacil, 1967). Highly recommended!

I’m always on the lookout for old favorite horror movies that seem to have vanished off the face of the earth. Recently, I found CALTIKI, THE IMMORTAL MONSTER (1959), officially directed by Riccardo Freda but possibly with assistance from his cinematographer Mario Bava:

Next up on my old horror movie tour is NOT OF THIS EARTH (1957, courtesy of the Roger Corman gang):

I’ve been looking for (subtitled) Karel Zeman movies for decades and it looks like some are finally available! I haven’t watched the first two yet, but plan to very soon:
BARON PRASIL (1961)
http://tinyurl.com/ydluqpp

KRABAT: THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE (1977)
http://tinyurl.com/y862yn4

JOURNEY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME (a 1966 US re-edit and dub of the Czech film, CESTA DO PRAVEKU – still looking for the 1955 original!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2Q51CNwET0

Then there’s Jiri Trnka, another important Czech animator, and his A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM (1959), done entirely in puppet animation, is subtitled and available for viewing at last!
