You're doing the right thing. I can testify to the sustaining power of a good film.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that DU has a Classic Films group to swap schedules and titles and more. Come on over!

I watched The Nazi Gospels on AHC. At least nearly all Americans knew who the bad guys were then!
I'm kidding of course. But it was on AHC this afternoon.

...was Supermarket Takeout & triple D on the Food Network. My wife & love those competition cooking shows.
But, mobsters stuff coming up on AHC in about 20 minutes.
I've seen all the episodes, but I don't care!
Hey, maybe they won't get whacked this time around!

If streaming, from where?

I’ve been wanting to watch the AFI Top 100 but it’s hard to find them all at online streaming services

Truly the Golden Age of filmmaking.

I adore " The Adventures of Robin Hood" in glorious 3-strip Technicolor. Great score by Korngold. I also love dueling scenes where the opponents take a convenient moment (overturned table/candlebra) to insult one another before continuing their swordfight.

But I highly recommend Pink Floyd Live @ Pompei & 93 proof rum. Hard to maintain anger...

I have actually washed down hotdogs with two pints of ice cream, chased by sodapop. I don't need that now, but when one is feeling sucky, comfort food often is a need.
