For this Friday Movie Night, first up is C.R.A.Z.Y. (2005), a French-language Canadian dramedy about a young man living with his four brothers in a conservative Quebec household in the 1960s, only to realize that, uh oh, he’s gay. His macho dad does not approve, nor do the homophobic Catholic authorities. Will those around him learn to accept his burgeoning homosexuality, and for that matter, will he accept it himself? I guess we’ll find out. Dudes rock, I hope. This is one of the highest-rated Canadian films on Letterboxd. Director Jean-Marc Vallee is best-known for the AIDS drama Dallas Buyers Club (2013); this is arguably his magnum opus.

BONUS: Between the features, we will watch Buster Keaton’s 26-minute slapstick short The Balloonatic (1923), which features Buster and his lady friend stranded in the wilderness after he crashes his balloon. They try to one-up each other with their survival skills, and much hilarity ensues. Another Buster classic.

After that is You Only Live Once (1937), a proto-noir-thriller from renowned auteur Fritz Lang, whose work has appeared numerous times on the ‘tube, with such films as Die Nibelung (1924), Fury (1936), The Woman in the Window (1944), Scarlet Street (1945), and The Big Heat (1953). Inspired by real-life fugitives Bonnie & Clyde, it follows an ex-con (Henry Fonda) who tries to put his life on track after his release, only to be framed for murder. He busts out of jail again and goes on the run with his wife (Sylvia Sidney), forcing them into a life of crime to stay out of the law’s reach. This is one of Lang’s better-regarded films, so let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
