Pass it on

Beau Geste

60Watch it awake.

Three brothers buy the Legion with a jewel, and this print is Colman, not Gary Cooper.

The review

Three brothers and a jewel gone from the family, and I had to keep saying this is not the Gary Cooper film. They join the French Foreign Legion. Ronald Colman, 1926, a large adventure hit. The fort, the cruel sergeant, the sand. A teen can watch it. I would not pass it to a younger child and call the sergeant a cartoon.

The theft was to protect the house. Say that before anyone salutes the uniform. The legion is not a clean service. Men who will spend themselves for a household still end inside a dirty enlistment, and the picture does not scrub that. Leave the 1939 talkie where it is. If this is the one on, stay with why the jewel vanished, not only with the sand.

The glance

Republic is the thin one.

Does anyone owe a neighbor, a law, or a town — or is every person out for themselves?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

The Wizard of Oz

71 instead of 60

The Wizard of Oz is still a adventure film, and it scores 71 instead of 60. What you gain is stewardship: The charge of the story is to get the child home unchanged in her loyalties.

An Arthur Thanksgiving

60Watch it awake.

A small holiday special with a real table. Fine for children.

The review

Arthur's neighborhood has always been better at ordinary friction than at myths. Thanksgiving here is cooking, guests, a snag, and a meal that still happens. That is more useful than a pageant. Gratitude that has not met a late aunt and a crowded kitchen is only a slogan.

It will not change a life. It may remind a room that the feast is the people who came, including the difficult ones. Put it on while you peel the potatoes.

The Iron Giant

73 instead of 60

The Iron Giant is still a animation film, and it scores 73 instead of 60. What you gain is courage: He stays up so the town can live.
