THESE AMAZING SHADOWS (2011) ¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: Paul Mariano, Kurt Norton
A lively collection of film clips highlight this documentary look at the movies the Library of Congress has named to the National Film Registry. The list includes everything from home movies to "2001", "The Birth of a Nation" to Michael Jackson's "Thriller". Rob Reiner, John Waters, Caleb Deschanel, Christopher Nolan and Peter Coyote are among those weighing in with their insights and observations. If you miss the ubiquitous cartoon concessions ad that used to play in the middle of double features, the one that started with the jingle, "Let's all go to the lobby," relax. That's in the National Film Registry, too.
