Film Friday | Weekly Roundup

So Pretty Clever Film Gal wakes up this morning, rubs the sleep from her eyes, and what does she see? Snow! Honest to goodness snow! This might not seem strange, this being Canada and all. But I’ve been in the true north for a couple of years now, and have had my snow expectations unmet. Will it stick? Will I get to sled, ice skate on a pond, and build a snow man? Well, I’m not actually going to do any of those things. But we all know, snow days are awesome days for wrapping up in a warm blanket and watching a movie! Yay for snow days! But while the snow still gently falls, I will go about my appointed rounds across the interwebs and bring you the best and neatest of the week. Happy sledding, reading, and viewing!

• Just in time for a snow day, Memeburn compiles a list of 18 classic films worth watching on youtube.
• Must be a day for lists… Flavorwire lists the best silent sequences in sound movies.
• Faded Video Label’s reviews Monkey Business.
• I missed Ray Milland’s birthday. I have an irrational affection for him, and I’ll be going on a bender this weekend to celebrate.
• If you don’t know why I’m going on a bender to celebrate, check out They Don’t Make Em Like They Used To’s review of The Lost Weekend.
• The Lady Eve’s Reel Life is hosting a whole month of Vertigo blogging. I hope Kim Novak doesn’t call the cops on her.
• Classic movie fans might feel left out at this Best-Movies-of-the-Year time, but The Most Beautiful Fraud in the World neatly sidesteps the issue.
• Tomorrow is the birthday of comedy producer extraordinaire Hal Roach. Check out this 1984 interview with the man himself:
