July 16 2026… #movieoftheday is The Pride and the Passion (full movie) (1957).
“The Pride and the Passion is a 1957 American Napoleonic -era war film in Technicolor and VistaVision from United Artists , produced and directed by Stanley Kramer , starring Cary Grant , Frank Sinatra and Sophia Loren . The film co-stars Theodore Bikel and Jay Novello .
“The storyline concerns a British Royal Navy artillery officer who has orders to retrieve a huge siege cannon from Spain and transport it by ship to British forces. However, the leader of the Spanish guerrillas needs the cannon to defeat the French at Ávila before releasing it to the British. Most of the film deals with the hardships of transporting the large cannon across rivers and over mountains, while evading occupying French forces. A sub-plot concerns the struggle for the love of the Spanish woman Juana (Loren) by the two male protagonists.
“The film story and screenplay by Edna Anhalt and Edward Anhalt are loosely based on the 1933 novel The Gun by C. S. Forester ...
“The film's music score was the last important work by George Antheil , once famous as the "bad boy of music" in the 1920s. It is the only one of Antheil's many film scores to have been preserved on a commercial soundtrack recording.” - more at Wikipedia

July 14, 2026… #movieoftheday is The Da Vinci Code (full movie) (2006).
“The Da Vinci Code is a 2006 mystery, thriller film directed by Ron Howard , written by Akiva Goldsman and based on Dan Brown 's 2003 novel of the same name . The first in the Robert Langdon film series , the film stars Tom Hanks , Audrey Tautou , Ian McKellen , Alfred Molina , Jürgen Prochnow , Jean Reno and Paul Bettany .
“In the film, Robert Langdon , a professor of religious symbology from Harvard University , is the prime suspect in the grisly and unusual murder of Louvre curator Jacques Saunière. On the body, the police find a disconcerting cipher and start an investigation. Langdon escapes with the assistance of police cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and they begin a quest for the legendary Holy Grail . Sir Leigh Teabing, a noted British Grail historian, tells them that the actual Holy Grail is explicitly encoded in Leonardo da Vinci 's wall painting The Last Supper . Also searching for the Grail is a secret cabal within Opus Dei , an actual prelature of the Holy See , who wish to keep the true Grail a secret to prevent the destruction of Christianity.
“The film, like the book, was considered controversial. It was met with especially harsh criticism by the Catholic Church for the accusation that it is behind a two-thousand-year-old cover-up concerning what the Holy Grail really is and the concept that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene were married, producing a daughter, as well as its treatment of the organizations Priory of Sion and Opus Dei. Many members urged the laity to boycott the film. In the book, Brown states that the Priory of Sion and "all descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents and secret rituals in this novel are accurate".
“The Da Vinci Code premiered as the opening film of the 59th Cannes Film Festival on May 17, 2006, and was theatrically released in the United States on May 19. The film received generally negative reviews from critics but was a commercial success… becoming the second-highest-grossing film of 2006 and Howard's highest-grossing film to date. It was followed by two sequels, both directed by Howard: Angels & Demons (2009) and Inferno (2016).” - more at Wikipedia

July 13, 2026… #movieoftheday is A Child Is Waiting (full movie) (1963).
“A Child Is Waiting is a 1963 American drama film directed by John Cassavetes , produced by Stanley Kramer and written by Abby Mann based on his 1957 Studio One teleplay of the same name. It stars Burt Lancaster , as the director of a state institution for intellectually disabled and emotionally disturbed children, and Judy Garland as a new teacher who challenges his methods.” - more at Wikipedia
Cassavetes’ third directorial effort is an engrossing, sobering expose of society's cruel prejudice toward mentally challenged children. Jean Hansen (Judy Garland) is an experienced city transplant who takes a job at a Down’s syndrome institution and befriends Reuben, one of the boys afflicted with the disease. Reuben latches on to Jean, to the dismay of Dr. Matthew Clark (Burt Lancaster. He feels Jean's affection for Reuben will disturb the other children, prompting him to separate the pair. Cassavetes uses actual children who have Down’s syndrome to convey the reality of these disabilities, giving the film a level of humanity and unflinching depth that resonates long after the final credits have rolled. Gena Rowlands and Steven Hill lead the supporting cast which includes Paul Stewart, Lawrence Tierney, Elizabeth Wilson and John Marley.

July 8, 2026… #movieoftheday is Titanic (full movie) (1943).
“Titanic is a 1943 German, propaganda film made during World War II in Berlin by Tobis Productions for UFA , depicting the catastrophic sinking of RMS Titanic in 1912. This was the third German language dramatization of the event, following a silent film released in 1912 just four months after the sinking and the British produced German film Atlantik released in 1929…
“Although the film had a brief theatrical run in parts of German-occupied Europe starting in November 1943, it was not shown in Germany by order of Joseph Goebbels , who feared that it would weaken German citizens' morale instead of improving it, as heavy Allied bombing raids made a film depicting mass panic and death unappealing. Goebbels later banned the film entirely and it did not have a second run.
“The film was the first [on the subject] which was simply titled Titanic and the first to combine various fictional characters and subplots with the true events of the sinking ; both conventions went on to become a staple of Titanic films .” - more at Wikipedia
Titanic was commissioned by Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels with the intent of showing not only the superiority of German filmmaking but also that British and American capitalism were responsible for the disaster. The addition of an entirely fictional heroic German officer to the ship's crew was intended to demonstrate the superior bravery and selflessness of German men, compared to the British officers.
The film's original director, Herbert Selpin , was arrested during production after speaking out against the Nazi regime and was later found hanged in prison. The film was completed by Werner Klingler who was not credited.
