Lost
World,
The
Young
and
adventurous
reporter
Edward
Malone
(Lloyd
Hughes)
is
dispatched
by his
editor
at the
London
Record
Journal
to cover
a
lecture
by the
boisterous
Professor
Challenger
(Beery),
who is
convinced
that
dinosaurs
are
still
roaming
the
earth.
While
the
community
thinks
him a
crackpot,
he finds
a
believer
in the
esteemed
hunter/explorer
Sir John
Roxton
(Lewis
Stone),
who
befriends
Malone.
Malone
is
introduced
to Paula
White
(Bessie
Love),
whose
father
was left
behind
in the
Amazon
outback
to
contend
with the
mammoth
creatures;
it's the
father's
diary,
featuring
sketches
of the
dinosaurs,
that's
proof
positive
for
Challenger
of their
existence.
Soon a
rescue
mission
is under
way and
Paula,
Malone,
Challenger
and
Roxton
are
awestruck
by the
presence
of
brontosaurs,
pterodactyls
and
allosaurs
right
before
their
eyes!
The
turbulent
assaults
of these
prehistoric
monsters,
unexpected
encounters
and a
frenzied
volcano
sequence
make
this a
spellbinding
cinematic
experience
that
won't be
forgotten.
The
spectacular
animation
effects
by
Willis
O'Brien
astonished
audiences
in 1925
and the
plot
which
anticipates
his
later
masterpiece,
King
Kong (a
brontosaurus
goes on
a
rampage
through
the
streets
of
London),
make
this
film an
influential
classic.

Nosferatu
Originally
released
in 1922
as
Nosferatu,
Eine
Symphonie
Des
Grauens,
director
F. W.
Murnau's
chilling
and
eerie
unauthorized
adaptation
of Bram
Stoker's
Dracula
is a
silent
masterpiece
of
terror
which to
this day
is the
most
striking
and
frightening
portrayal
of the
Bram
Stoker
legend.
After
it's
premiere
in 1922,
Nosferatu
was the
subject
of a
lawsuit
brought
by
Stoker's
widowÑwho
saw to
it that
any
mention
of
"Dracula"
was
removed
from the
movie
and that
all
"known"
prints
and
negatives
were
destroyed.
Most
recently,
this
movie
(and the
eccentricities
of actor
Max
Schreck)
were the
subject
of the
award
winning
movie
Shadow
of The
Vampire.

Orphans
of the
Storm,
The
Lillian
and
Dorothy
Gish
star in
D.W.
Griffith's
epic
tale of
two
sisters
caught
in the
turmoil
of the
French
Revolution.
Henriette
brings
her
blind
sister,
Louise,
to Paris
in hopes
of a
cure.
When
Henriette
is
kidnapped
by a
lustful
nobleman,
her
helpless
sister
is left
to
wander
the
streets.
Rescued
by the
aristocrat
Chevalier
(Joseph
Schildkraut),
Henreitte
desperately
attempts
to
locate
her lost
sibling.
During
the
Reign Of
Terror,
she is
accused
of
consorting
with the
aristocracy,
and
condemned
to the
guillotine.
In this
1921
masterpiece,
D.W.
Griffith
displays
the
flair
for epic
storytelling
first
seen in
his
classic
"Birth
Of A
Nation."
Adeptly
referencing
the
recent
Bolshevik
rebellion
in
Russia,
he makes
a grand
statement
about
excess
and
tyranny.
Lavish
sets,
magnificent
costumes,
vast mob
scenes,
and
Griffith's
signature
cinematic
vision
punctuate
this
heroic
melodrama.
The
ethereal
beauty
of the
Gish
sisters
creates
haunting,
indelible
images.
Filmed
at
Griffith's
Mamaroneck,
NY
studio,
"Orphans
Of The
Storm"
dramatically
confirms
Griffith's
title of
"Father
of the
Cinema."
