Pink Moon - Nick Drake

I saw it written and I saw it say.

Pink Moon is on its way.

Nick Drake is an enigmatic figure in music. A very depressive and shy person. He only released three albums. His records did not set tremendously well. He rarely did interviews or shows. He almost faded into obscurity until a steady resurgence of his music occurred in the late 80s. And it was for the better.

Citizen Kane (1941)

*Part of Prana Films' The Great Movies*

Kane. What can I say about Kane that hasn’t already been said? It is a movie the chronicles the basic American dream, the rise of the main protagonist and his eventual fall from grace such in the way of Icarus. It has been proclaimed as the greatest film of all time, having held 1st place on the influential Sight & Sound critics poll for 50 years and 1st on the American Film Institute’s list of greatest American movies.

Sherlock Jr. (1924)

*Part of Prana Films' The Great Movies*

Buster Keaton is one of the kings of silent comedy, on the same level as other comedians such as Charlie Chaplin. But while Chaplin successfully combined pathos with comedy, Buster has mastered the art of the straight face and stunt work. Keaton has had lots a great work (e.g. The General) but I believe that his greatest accomplishment would be his short comedy Sherlock Jr.

Battleship Potemkin (1925)

*Part of Prana Films' The Great Movies*

Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin is certainly a movie that stands the test of time. The movie is an exciting step into film editing and other such technology. The movie is simple in story, but rich in cultural history. We begin on the Potemkin, in which the sailor revolt due to poor conditions, such as their food; rotten with maggots.

Lincoln (2012)

“Do you think we choose the times into which we are born? Or do we fit the times we are born into?” This is a question that was brought up by one of our greatest presidents in his recent biopic, Lincoln.

12 Angry Men (1957)

*Part of Prana Films' Great Movies*

It’s a hot, sweltering day in New York City and these men have someone’s life in their hands. The first on our list is one of the most endeared courtroom dramas of all time, Sidney Lumet’s phenomenal debut 12 Angry Men.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Apes learn to use the first weapons.

*Part of Prana Film's Great Movies*

A space adventure. A "trip" of a lifetime. An amazement to behold. One of the most awe-inspiring experiences as a film viewer. 2001 is all of these. 2001 is without a doubt Stanley Kubrick's magnum opus, a pinnacle in his amazing career. The movie's storyline seems to float in space as the characters do, set along to some of the greatest pieces in classical music, particular the famous Blue Danube.
