The Sea Beast
Silent with John Barrymore is a weird funhouse mirror version of Moby Dick. Too much time is spent ashore with the requisite melodrama.

Le Capitaine Fracasse
Rescued French silent from 1929. There are swords and floppy hats with ostrich feathers so it must be a swashbuckler. Charles Boyer plays the aristocratic bad guy. Several instances of interesting camera work. Print is in pristine condition. An appalling improvised soundtrack of indescribable inappopriateness is included but can, thank God, be muted.

The Road to Eldorado
I totally missed this movie when it came out. Wonder of wonders: The Rosie Perez character did not make me want to run away and cover my ears. It's cute.
