I would like to see Charlie Chaplin’s “Limelight” with the complete restored footage of his scene with Buster Keaton. What I did see from that scene didn’t impress me.
From what I’ve been reading, the rumors of Keaton’s great bits being cut from *Limelight *have been greatly exaggerated. For the most part, all the good stuff is there.
If you haven’t seen it already, there’s a fabulous documentary about this, aptly titled Jodorowsky’s Dune. Everyone involved sounds insane. I’d love to get a copy of the storyboard book that was made for it.
Also, the soundtrack for the documentary is fantastic.
The story of the Kelly Gang - the world’s first full length feature film, from 1906.
About 17 mins exist of the 1 hour+ movie. Ned Kelly, the Australian bushranger who held his last stand against police while he and gang were in home-made iron armour, was within many peoples’ living memory when the movie was made.
This is off-topic now but… Orson Welles’ The other side of the Wind was finished by others and is available on Netflix. Also a making of documentary.
