Man's Castle

That's 12. Let me know if there are any movies you guys think of as "must watch" that I missed or think that a movie on my "maybe" list below should get promoted to "must watch". I've spent a good portion of today looking up movies and where to watch them. I'm having trouble tracking down a streaming option for "Lady for a Day", so that one might not make the cut.

"Maybe Watch" Movies
Queen Christina
Secrets (Mary Pickford's last movie so good chance it gets promoted)
Le Tete d'un Homme
Bomshell
Little Women
Alice in Wonderland
The Kennel Murder Case

Japanese Movies
Every-Night Dreams (Naruse)
Apart From You (Naruse)
Passing Fancy (Ozu)
Woman of Tokyo (Ozu)
Dragnet Girl (Ozu)
Japanese Girls at the Harbor (Shimizu)

These are the Japanese movies on FilmStruck and I plan to watch all 6, but again, if any of them are literally silent movies (no music), they'll get the ax. It might seem overkill to watch all of them, but I have non-this-Dynasty reasons for wanting to get a very thorough education on Japanese film history (as a wanna-be writer, trying to get as much exposure to non-Western story telling that I can to hopefully improve my own story telling abilities)
