What more natural choice could Maid Marian make? Here is the first great action hero of the cinema - Douglas Fairbanks. He may not have been a kickboxer but he surpasses all other action stars in the class department. This particular film is very near and dear to my heart - being the very first...

A tribute to a classic German film from 1931. It is considered a classic of gay cinema; but at its core is a much broader message, that of a plea for a more humane and compassionate society. It was promptly banned when Hitler came to power; although Goebbels privately expressed his admiration for...
