Christopher Nolan isn’t the first to have adapted the Odyssey for the big screen. Let’s look back over 100 years ago to the first silent adaptations of Homer’s epic, made by the pioneers of the medium. #tiktokodysseycontest #theoddyssey #christophernolan #silentfilm #history @Universal Pictures

Review: OLD HENRY (2021) Tim Blake Nelson stars as a farmer caught up in a standoff with three outlaws when their money — and a local lawman — go missing. A brilliant western and one of the best the genre has ever produced with Nelson’s best performance of his career. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #oldhenry #western #netflix #timblakenelson #modernclassic @Netflix @Shout!

I got to see Sweet Smell of Success (1957) on the big screen last night at the Paris Theater in NY. It was hosted by TCM host Eddie Muller and it was an incredible experience. I not only got to meet Eddie, but I also told him how his work helped inspire the creation of this channel. A wonderful evening at the movies! #filmnoir #classicfilm #tcm #filmfestival #newyorkcity @Turner Classic Movies
