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 24: Kings Row (1942)

Netflix Summary: This powerful drama nominated for three Academy Awards takes you beneath the sleepy facade of a picturesque American small town, where painful secrets and bitter grudges threaten the dreams and aspirations of several childhood friends. Boasting an all-star cast, the film features Ronald Reagan in a breakthrough performance as Drake McHugh, a dashing yet conflicted young man. It's often considered Reagan's career best.


There are a lot of rumors online about the theme of Star Wars being "influenced" by the theme to Kings Row.  Check it out below.
