Yeah, I do think that history repeats itself.

The Movie Title Stills Collection is just what it sounds like--a collection of stills from movies of their titles, dating back to the 1920s.
I thought it was cool when I first heard the concept, but after having sat down and perused it for a couple of hours, it's even cooler.  I think I pulled about 100 to show you, but then decided it might be a good idea to scale that number down.  They're pretty dang awesome in their own right, and I love seeing the different shots from remakes (there's a movie called Inglorious Bastards that predates Tarantino's by a couple of decades; you learn something new everyday).


































































But I think what I love most is watching how they changed over time, and how old some of the ideas are, and how it seems Hollywood has gotten maybe something right for generations that sometimes simple is best.
