Cinema 100 - DOUBLE FEATURE: "Bringing Up Baby" & "Holiday" 05.08.2026 1ชม. 40นาทีEp 70 "Bringing Up Baby" Directed By: Howard HawksRelease Date: February 18, 1938"Holiday" Directed By: George CukorRelease Date: June 15, 1938What if I told you that the same two actors made one of the smartest romantic comedies ever written... and one of the craziest? In 1938, Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn teamed up for not one, but two unforgettable films. Holiday asks a surprisingly modern question: Is success really worth it if it costs you your happiness? Just a few months later, Bringing Up Baby throws all logic out the window, replacing it with rapid-fire dialogue, slapstick chaos, and, yes, a pet leopard. Different directors. Different styles. Same electric chemistry. Today, we're exploring how these two films helped redefine what a Hollywood romantic comedy could be. -

And somehow, Hollywood gives us two films that couldn't seem more different—yet they're asking the same question.One follows a mother willing to sacrifice everything so her daughter can have a better life. The other drops us into a prisoner-of-war camp, where men from different nations discover that class, humanity, and friendship may matter more than borders.This week, we're diving into Stella Dallas and The Grand Illusion—two unforgettable stories about sacrifice, dignity, and the invisible walls that separate us. -
Cinema 100 - DOUBLE FEATURE: "Saratoga" & "Captains Courageous" 10.06.2026 1ชม. 32นาที1937 Ep 3 (17) "Saratoga" Directed By: Jack ConwayRelease Date: July 23, 1937"Captains Courageous" Directed By: Victor FlemingRelease Date: June 25th, 1937Today we're stepping into 1937 with a pair of films that showcase two very different sides of Hollywood storytelling. First, Captains Courageous, starring Spencer Tracy in his Oscar-winning role, tells the moving story of a spoiled young boy whose life is transformed after he's rescued by a crew of hardworking fishermen on the open sea. Then we'll head to the racetrack with Saratoga, a sparkling blend of romance, comedy, and horse racing excitement starring Jean Harlow and Clark Gable. One film explores character, responsibility, and growing up; the other delivers glamour, charm, and old-fashioned star power. Together, they offer a fascinating snapshot of Hollywood at its peak in 1937. -
Cinema 100 - DOUBLE FEATURE: "Make Way for Tomorrow" & "The Awful Truth" 20.05.2026 1ชม. 39นาที1937 Ep 2 (16) "Make Way for Tomorrow" Directed by: Leo McCarey Release Date: April 30, 1937"The Awful Truth"Directed By: Leo McCareyRelease Date: October 21st, 1937Our latest double feature captures two sides of love, marriage, and the fear of growing old in 1937 Hollywood. On one side, Leo McCarey’s deeply human Make Way for Tomorrow — a quiet, heartbreaking story about an elderly couple forced apart by circumstance, a film so emotionally honest that many consider it one of the saddest movies ever made. And then, on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, there’s The Awful Truth — a sparkling screwball comedy filled with wit, jealousy, divorce, and the electric chemistry of Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. Together, these films show how the same director could make audiences cry in one breath and laugh in the next — proving that love can be both devastating and absolutely ridiculous. -
Cinema 100 - DOUBLE FEATURE: "Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs" & "A Star Is Born" 29.04.2026 1ชม. 42นาที1937 Ep 1 (15) "A Star is Born Directed By: William WellmanRelease Date: April 27, 1937"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" Directed by: Walt Disney Release Date: December 21, 1937We’re stepping into 1937 for a double feature that feels like Hollywood discovering its own reflection in two very different mirrors.First up, we’ve got Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs—Disney’s first full-length animated feature, a film that didn’t just break new ground, it basically proved animation could carry real emotion, real stakes, and real box office weight. It’s fairy tale magic being turned into a cinematic revolution.And then we flip the reel to A Star Is Born—a story about fame, ambition, and the brutal rise-and-fall cycle of Hollywood itself. It’s glossy on the surface, but underneath it’s pure industry soul-searching.Two films. One year. One reshaping of what movies could be—dreams on one side, and the cost of those dreams on the other. -

Van DykeRelease Date: December 25th, 1936"My Man Godfrey"Directed By: Gregory La CavaRelease Date: September 6th, 1936What if I told you the smartest, sharpest commentary on the Great Depression came wrapped in cocktails, chaos… and some of the funniest dialogue ever put on screen?Tonight, we’re diving into two of 1936’s most irresistible comedies.First, After the Thin Man—where William Powell and Myrna Loy return as Nick and Nora Charles, a married couple so charming they make solving a murder look like a side hobby between drinks. It’s fast, it’s witty, and honestly… their relationship might be the real mystery.Then there’s My Man Godfrey, pairing Carole Lombard with Powell in a completely different role—as a so-called “forgotten man” who gets pulled into a wildly dysfunctional rich family. It’s hilarious on the surface, but underneath? A razor-sharp jab at class, privilege, and what it really means to have nothing… or everything.Two comedies. One legendary actor. And proof that laughter might just be the most dangerous weapon of all. -
Cinema 100 - DOUBLE FEATURE: "Fury" & "The Crime of Monsieur Lange" 11.03.2026 1ชม. 39นาที1936 Ep 3 - S3 (11)"Fury" Directed By: Fritz LangeRelease Date: June 5th, 1936"The Crime of Monsieur Lange" Directed By: Jean RenoirRelease Date: January 24th, 19361936 a year when filmmakers around the world began wrestling openly with justice, power, and the responsibility of ordinary people.In Fury, director Fritz Lang brings his dark European sensibilities to Hollywood. Starring Spencer Tracy, the film tells the story of a man nearly killed by a lynch mob after being falsely accused. What follows is a chilling look at mob mentality, vengeance, and the fragile line between justice and revenge.Across the Atlantic, The Crime of Monsieur Lange, from French master Jean Renoir, offers a very different tone—but wrestles with many of the same ideas. Set in a struggling publishing house, the film mixes romance, comedy, and politics as workers attempt to build something fairer together.Two countries. Two visions. And two unforgettable films asking the same question: what happens when ordinary people take justice into their own hands? -
Cinema 100 - DOUBLE FEATURE: "Petrified Forest" & "Story of Louis Pasteur" 25.02.2026 1ชม. 33นาที1936 Ep 2 - S3E(10) "Story of Louis Pasteur" Directed By: William DieterleRelease Date: February 22, 1936"Petrified Forest" Directed By: Archie MayoRelease Date: February 6th, 1936Tonight we step into 1936 — a year where cinema wrestled with both violence and virtue.First, in The Petrified Forest, a lonely desert diner becomes a pressure cooker of desperation and destiny. Humphrey Bogart electrifies the screen as Duke Mantee, a gangster on the run, while Leslie Howard plays a disillusioned intellectual who sees in him the poetry of a dying world. It’s fatalism wrapped in dust and gunpowder — a collision between dreamers and drifters at the edge of nowhere.Then, in The Story of Louis Pasteur, the battlefield shifts from bullets to biology. Paul Muni delivers an Oscar-winning performance as the scientist who challenged ignorance and changed medicine forever. Here, courage isn’t criminal — it’s intellectual.Two films. One year. One asks whether violence defines us. The other proves that knowledge can save us. -

A year when Hollywood balanced laughter with a sharp look at the world outside the theater. First, Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times turns the chaos of the machine age into timeless comedy, as the Little Tramp struggles to keep his humanity in an increasingly industrial world. Then, Frank Capra’s Mr. Deeds Goes to Town delivers heart and humor, following a small-town dreamer who inherits a fortune and challenges the cynicism of big-city power. Together, these films remind us that kindness, dignity, and a good laugh can still push back against hard times. Enjoy the show -
Cinema 100 - "1936 Draft" Selection Show 20.01.2026 1ชม. 3นาทีIt’s 1936, and Hollywood is sitting at the absolute peak of its studio power. The Great Depression still hangs over the country, but the movies are booming—palaces filled every night with audiences looking for escape, glamour, and hope. The studio system runs with factory precision: MGM sells polish and prestige, Warner Bros. leans into grit and social realism, and directors are becoming stars in their own right. Sound is no longer a novelty—it’s refined, confident, and shaping performance itself. But looming over all of it is the Production Code, tightening its grip, quietly signaling the end of Hollywood’s wild adolescence. This is a year of confidence… right before the rules change. Robert and Will selection show for the 1936 draft. -

Cinema 100 - "An Inn In Tokyo" 07.01.2026 1ชม. 13นาที1935 Episode 4 (6)"An Inn In Tokyo"Directed By: Yasujiro Ozu Release Date: November 21st, 1935Tonight’s film takes us far from Hollywood glamour and straight into the quiet corners of everyday survival. An Inn in Tokyo, released in 1935, comes from Yasujirō Ozu—often known for family dramas—but this film shows a harsher, more vulnerable side of his world. Set during the Great Depression in Japan, it follows a father and his two young sons drifting from job to job, inn to inn, clinging to dignity as poverty closes in. There’s no melodrama here, no grand speeches—just small gestures, fleeting kindness, and the weight of circumstances pressing down on ordinary people. It’s a modest film in scale, but emotionally devastating, capturing how resilience and love persist even when stability disappears. -
Cinema 100 - DOUBLE FEATURE: "Mutiny on the Bounty" & "Captain Blood" 17.12.2025 1ชม. 44นาที1935 Episode 3 (4)"Mutiny on the Bounty" Directed By: Frank LloydRelease Date: November 8th, 1935"Captain Blood"Directed By: Michael CurtizDecember 19th, 1935Tonight’s double feature takes us to the high seas—where honor is tested, authority is challenged, and adventure is forged in salt and blood. First up is 1935’s Mutiny on the Bounty, a sweeping epic of tyranny versus conscience, anchored by Charles Laughton’s unforgettable Captain Bligh and a young Clark Gable standing up to absolute power. Famously, Laughton so terrified the cast during production that even between takes he refused to break character, creating an atmosphere as oppressive as the ship itself. Then we set sail with Errol Flynn in Captain Blood, the film that helped define the swashbuckler—romantic, rebellious, and propelled by pure cinematic momentum. In fact, Flynn was such an unknown at the time that the studio barely promoted him, only to watch a star be born almost overnight. Together, these films represent Hollywood at its most grand and idealistic, when the ocean became a stage for moral conflict, daring escapes, and the eternal question: when does obedience become injustice? -
Cinema 100 - DOUBLE FEATURE: "Top Hat" & "A Night at the Opera" D 03.12.2025 1ชม. 29นาที1935 Episode 2 (3) - "Top Hat" Directed By: Mark Sandrich Release Date: August 29th, 1935"A Night at the Opera"Directed By: Sam Wood Release Date: November 15th, 1935Welcome back to Cinema 100, where we dive into the films that defined their eras—and sometimes saved them. Tonight, we’re stepping into 1935 with a true double bill of movie magic: Top Hat and A Night at the Opera. On one side, you’ve got Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers gliding across Art Deco dreamscapes, turning elegance into its own kind of special effect. On the other, the Marx Brothers are dismantling high society one gag at a time, proving that chaos—when properly orchestrated—is a legitimate art form. These films hit theaters during the Great Depression, yet they lifted spirits, set standards, and shaped Hollywood’s idea of what entertainment could be. So lace up your dancing shoes, grab your contract from Otis B. Driftwood, and settle in. This is 1935 at its most dazzling and delirious.
