Ramona Curry wonders about my motives in soliciting suggestions for movies about movies. Okay, I'll come clean. December 28, 1895 marks the hundredth anniversary of the earliest commercial exhibition of motion pictures. For those without a handy history of the cinema, it was in Paris, by the Lumiere brothers, at the Grand Cafe on the Boulevard des Capucines. Edison's show at Koster & Biall's Music Hall was four months later. Perhaps it's because my office is about half a mile from where Muybridge did his horsing around, but there are historical events that deserve celebration, and I thought that it might be useful to structure a course and a year-long weekly film series around the how the cinema (literally) views itself. Thus my request, and the requirement of literalism. Lots of great suggestions have arrived, although I can think of several films that haven't been suggested. I promise to put together an alphabetical list of all entries and send it down the Email line as a New Year's celebration of movies...films...cinema. -Henry Breitrose
