August 8, 2026… #movieoftheday is Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme (full movie) (2009).
“Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme ( variously translated as The Bourgeois Gentleman, The Middle-Class Aristocrat or The Would-Be Noble) s a 2009 movie adaptation, by French film director and screenwriter Christian de Chalonge , of Molière ’s comédie-ballet which was first performed on October 14, 1670, for the court of Louis XIV at the Château de Chambord …
“ Le Bourgeois gentilhomme satirizes attempts at social climbing and the bourgeois personality, poking fun both at the vulgar, pretentious middle-class and the vain, snobbish aristocracy. The title is meant as an oxymoron : in Molière's France, a gentleman was by definition nobly born and, thus, there could be no such thing as a bourgeois gentleman.” - more at Wikipedia
Monsieur Jourdain, a bourgeois, whose father was a successful cloth merchant, is determined to acquire the manners of a nobleman. He, therefore, surrounds himself with various tutors for instruction in fencing, music, philosophy, and more. Although enamored with the Marquise Dorimène, Jourdain is nonetheless manipulated like a puppet by Count Dorante who exploits the situation to swindle him...

August 5, 2026… #movieoftheday is Gallipoli (full movie) (1981).
“Gallipoli is a 1981 Australian war, drama film directed by Peter Weir and produced by Patricia Lovell and Robert Stigwood , starring Mel Gibson and Mark Lee . The film revolves around several young men, from Western Australia, who enlist in the Australian Army during World War I . They are sent to the Gallipoli peninsula in the Ottoman Empire (modern-day Turkey ) where they participate in the Gallipoli campaign . During the film, the young men slowly lose their innocence about the purpose of war. The climax of the film occurs on the Anzac battlefield at Gallipoli, depicting the futile attack at the Battle of the Nek on August 7, 1915.
“Gallipoli … gives a faithful portrayal of life in Australia in the 1910s — redolent of Weir's 1975 film Picnic at Hanging Rock set in 1900 — and captures the ideals and character of the Australians who joined up to fight, as well as the conditions they endured on the battlefield, although its portrayal of British forces has been criticized as inaccurate…
“Gallipoli received heavy international promotion and distribution and helped elevate the worldwide reputation of the Australian film industry and of later Australian New Wave films. The film also helped launch the international career of actor Mel Gibson . Due to the Gallipoli battlefields becoming tourist destinations in the 21st century, the film is often shown at the hostels and hotels in Eceabat and Çanakkale on the Dardanelles . In the 20 to 1 episode "Great Aussie Films," Gallipoli was listed as Number 1.” - more at Wikipedia

August 2, 2026… #movieoftheday is Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (full movie) (1922).
“Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (German: Nosferatu – Eine Symphonie des Grauens ) is a 1922 silent German Expressionist vampire film directed by F. W. Murnau from a screenplay by Henrik Galeen . It stars Max Schreck as Count Orlok , a vampire who preys on the wife ( Greta Schröder ) of his real estate agent ( Gustav von Wangenheim ) and brings the plague to their town.
“Nosferatu was produced by Prana Film and is an unofficial and unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker 's 1897 novel Dracula . Various names and other details were changed from the novel, including Count Dracula being renamed Count Orlok . Although those changes are often represented as a defense against copyright infringement accusations, the original German intertitles acknowledged Dracula as the source. Film historian David Kalat states in his commentary track that since the film was "a low-budget film made by Germans for German audiences... setting it in Germany with German-named characters makes the story more tangible and immediate for German-speaking viewers."
“Even with several details altered, Stoker's widow, Florence , sued over the adaptation's copyright violation, and a court ruling ordered all copies of the film to be destroyed. However, several prints of Nosferatu survived, and the film came to be regarded as an influential masterpiece of cinema and the horror genre. Critic and historian Kim Newman declared it as a film that set the template for the genre of horror film. The film entered the public domain worldwide in 2019.” - more at Wikipedia

August 1, 2026… #movieoftheday is One of Our Aircraft Is Missing (full movie) (1942).
“One of Our Aircraft Is Missing (stylized on screen as ......one of our aircraft is missing ) is a 1942 British black-and-white war film, mainly set in the German-occupied Netherlands . It was the fourth collaboration between the British writer-director-producer team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger and the first film they made under the banner of The Archers.
“Although considered a propaganda film and made under the authority of the Ministry of Information as part of a series of film productions aimed at morale in the United Kingdom, it is elevated by the story and production values above the usual jingoistic fare. Today, One of Our Aircraft Is Missing is considered one of the "best of British films of the era.”
“A reversal of the plot of Powell and Pressburger's previous film, 49th Parallel (1941), One of Our Aircraft Is Missing has the British trying to escape with the help of various locals. In the 49th Parallel , the Germans stranded in Canada argued and fought amongst themselves, while the British fliers in this film work well together as a team.” - more at Wikipedia

“In Search of the Golden Fleece.” Every myth has its heroes. In the Greek saga of the Argonauts, it is Jason, who undertakes an adventurous search for the coveted Golden Fleece. This documentary shows how scholars penetrate the myth to find traces of historical facts. They discover that the saga of Jason and the Argonauts possibly depicted the Greeks’ attempt to find the legendary gold mines of the Black Sea. In another experiment, scientists prove that a Bronze-Age ship was able to sail from the Aegean Sea all the way to Georgia.
