Drylongso (Cauleen Smith)
Writer-director Cauleen Smith made Drylongso when she was in college, 25 years ago, premiering at Sundance in 1998. She has gone on to create dozens of short films, art installations, and more experimental work, focused on similar themes of feminism, racial violence, and Black communities. The low-key hangout movie should have been a stepping stone for Smith, but, as with many other works by Black female filmmaking of the last half-century, it fell out of circulation. – Michael F.

Starring Ray Milland, Ann Todd, Geraldine Fitzgerald
Cinematography by Mutz Greenbaum
Directed by Lewis Allen
In 1944 Ray Milland starred in The Uninvited, the story of an orphan plagued by the vengeful spirit of her mother. The film remains a shivery classic of familial strife but contrary to its inhospitable title, Milland never looked so at home. But then the actor had always appeared haunted.
