I look forward to it. Mr. Brownlow has participated in several fine programs as well as commentaries and has written some of the most illuminating books on early cinema. There is no better guide through early film history I can think of. I recorded his Unknown Chaplin series on PBS back in the 80s - that's the one narrated by James Mason. Of course, it's on DVD now.
Since Patrick is fairly fuming, when you venture into 1930s sound films, allow me to urge you to includce L'Atalante, by Jean Vigo on your list.
My favorte French films of the thirties would have to be this film and Renoir's Rules Of the Game.
