Project 501: GO!
With the overcoming of one minor obstacle (VHS only! How embarrassing!), we at CH hereby proclaim this second weekend of January, two thousand and seven, the inaugural weekend of Project 501, in which we’ll be watching and writing about every AMPAS Best Picture winner chronologically.

The Project begins tonight with a viewing of the first-ever Best Picture winner, Wings, starring Clara Bow, Buddy Rogers, and Richard Arlen as the vertices of a WWI-era love triangle; we don’t watch many WWI movies, but we suspect that’s about to change.
Upcoming Project 501 films include:
The Broadway Melody (1928-29)
All Quiet on the Western Front (1929-30)
Cimarron (1930-31)
Want to watch along? Please do. You’ve seen these movies and have an opinion? Let us know. Think this is the worst idea ever? Well…keep that to yourself.
