31 days of oscar

turner classic movies is currently running its "31 days of oscar", as they do every year before the academy awards. (this means that every movie playing on tcm for the month of february has either won or been nominated for an oscar.) if you dig old movies, like i do, well then ~ this is just a thin slice of heaven.

the clip below is a 9 minute montage/film honoring the first 100 years in film. (it ran on tcm several years ago, and i'm sure it's shown on there from time to time even now.) film buffs will dig it. the first 90 seconds are a little slow (covering early silent film), but then it picks up. the music is awesome too.
