Some Like It Unauthorized

Two siblings go film by film through cinema history, from the blockbusters to the arthouse, with discussions on what these movies meant then and how we see them now. Using the BFI Sight and Sound list as a starting point, we’ve watched canonical films from the silent era up to the 60’s, and now we examine the decade when the cinema medium exploded.
