The Philadelphia Experiment**

(US 1984)        

In 1943 a US Navy experiment in radar invisibility leads to sailors disappearing into a vortex than transports them into the future.
Enjoyably sustained sci-fi based on only a fragment of a true story, not subtle and with some clunky dialogue, but enjoyably Spielbergian in a government conspiracy, Close Encounters sort of way.

A TRIP DOWN MARKET STREET (1906). An invaluable historical and technical accomplishment filming on the front of the San Francisco tram, poignantly, just days before the 1906 earthquake. See how it looks today (2005).

That Fatal Sneeze*
(US 1907. 6m. bw. silent; A vengefeul boy feeds pepper everywhere to his grandfather who wrecks everywhere he sneezes. d: Lewis Fitzhamon; s: Thurston Harris.)
