The Arthur Freed MGM musical unit gives this 1927 musical remake the old College Try! It’s a vehicle for the wartime sweetheart June Allyson, aided by Peter Lawford, who is quite good if not real musical material. The fun original tunes are joined by a couple of new ones, including an all-time terrific song & dance number staged by Robert Alton and performed by the incredible Joan McCracken. The new restoration does wonders with the 1947 Technicolor and the Wac adds hilarious, eye-opening musical excerpts from the crazy 1930 early talkie version with Penny Singleton. Good news indeed. With Patricia Marshall, Mel Tormé and Tommy Rall.

Before Buffy Summers fought vampires or Veronica Sawyer charmed us softly with a chainsaw, pop culture celebrated another scream queen: Jessica Harper's gritty Suzy Bannion in Dario Argento's 1977 Italian horror movie Suspiria. A contemporary of '70s horror classics such as Halloween and The Exorcist, the film will now join the reboot wave. Needless to say, the upcoming horror film is in capable hands. Call Me by Your Name's Luca Guadagnino helms the 2018 remake with a star-studded cast that features Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, Chloë Grace Moretz, and even Harper herself. The new movie, of course, will likely differ from its predecessor as revamps usually do. But in case you need a refresher or want to get down to the nitty-gritty of the original film, we'll dive right into the bloody, beating heart of the story. So yes, we have spoilers ahead!

The story begins as many...
