One of the biggest hits of the silent era, The Gold Rush (1925) was famously described by Charlie Chaplin – the star, writer and director of the film – as ‘the picture I want to be remembered by’. Enjoying popular and critical success not once but twice, the film was given a new lease of life with sound in 1942 after Chaplin added his own narration and music.

Free Download Los Olvidados (BFI Film Classics) by Mark Polizzotti

Los Olvidados (1950) established Luis Bunuel’s reputation as a world-class director. Set in the slums of Mexico City, it follows the crime-filled and violent lives of group of juvenile delinquents. The film exhibits some of Bunuel’s recognisable themes of love’s yearnings, social injustice, and surrealism, but with a layer of compassion that sets it apart from many of his other films. In 2003, Los Olvidados was inducted into UNESCO’s Memory of the World programme, which preserves documentary heritage of world significance.

Free Download Duck Soup (BFI Film Classics) by J. Hoberman
English | October 7, 2021 | ISBN: 1839022256 | True EPUB | 104 pages | 11.3 MB
The Marx Brothers are universally considered to be classic Hollywood’s preeminent comedy team and Duck Soup is generally regarded as their quintessential film. A topical satire of dictatorship and government in general, the movie was a critical failure and box-office let-down on its initial release in 1933.

Free Download City Lights (BFI Film Classics) by Charles J. Maland
English | June 27, 2007 | ISBN: 1844571750 | True EPUB | 272 pages | 18.4 MB
In 1967, Charlie Chaplin told an interviewer, "I think I like City Lights the best of all my films." Speaking of the film’s famous ending, James Agee wrote that "it is enough to shrivel the heart to see." Although City Lights had a long and extremely difficult production history, the final film, in Alistair Cooke’s apt words, flows "like water over pebbles, smooth and simple for all to see with no hint of the groaning pressure that had gone into it." It could easily have been otherwise.

A legendary fusion of science fiction and horror, Alien (1979) is one of the most enduring modern myths of cinema – its famously visceral scenes acting like a traumatic wound we seem compelled to revisit.

Author: David Bohm | Narrator: Don Hagen
Never before has there been a greater need for deeper listening and more open communication to cope with the complex problems facing our organizations, businesses, and societies.
Renowned scientist David Bohm believed there was a better way for humanity to discover meaning and to achieve harmony. He identified creative dialogue, a sharing of assumptions and understanding, as a means by which the individual, and society as a whole, can learn more about themselves and others, and achieve a renewed sense of purpose.
