AUTUMN BREAK (2025)

AUTUMN BREAK?  No, not a film title, just notice of a week’s hiatus.  But that’s no reason to stop hunting for great video on MAKSQUIBS CINEMATHEQUE.  Over 6000 posts to scroll thru, more than a thousand come Recommended, thousands more barely shy of the mark.  (I-Phoners can switch to the Main Site to view all our Labels.  Scroll to the bottom of the screen for a link.  Our Search Box also on the Main Site.  Alas, the big Search Engines only index a fraction of our Posts/Titles.

Meanwhile, here’s a few titles with LINKS to the full Write-Up, two to a category, to get you thru the week.  Most, not all, Recommended, a few flawed but fascinating.  Mostly older ones you probably haven’t heard of.  Or if you have, probably not seen.  Even a few downright famous titles; but have you seen them?   Like the last two; well-known/widely-acclaimed classics, but seen by shockingly few Stateside.
