How this works

We will release a movie every ten days beginning with Birth of a Nation (1915) and then jumping to the 1920's where we will release one new movie for each year within the decade. Our goal is to work our way from the 20's to the present while gaining insight into the evolution of film. All the movies we choose will be available through Netflix. The basic idea is to build a community of like-minded film fans and connect them with a forum for discussion. Without futher ado...it's time to Cinema Cram!

Film 2: Way Down East

Here is the plot summary from Netflix:
Screen legend Lillian Gish stars as Anna Moore, a naïve New Englander duped into a sham marriage by a silver-tongued roué who deserts her after she turns up pregnant. When the infant dies, Anna leaves Boston, changes her name and finds shelter in the bucolic transcendence of a farm community. There she captures the heart of callow romantic David Bartlett, but Anna's checkered past comes back to haunt her.

Viewing Due Date: 1/19/10
