“Why did Jimmy always have to stunt and show-off?” Why indeed, now Jimmy’s in the hospital and all you can do is relive his dangerous escapades, which would ultimately lead to his downfall. Jimmy had fallen in with a fast crowd. Jimmy you see, was a bicycle clown- performing daring feats of two-wheeled wonder, until the day a car slammed into him. Jimmy flew through the air, his crumpled body landing next to his crumpled bike. Will Jimmy learn his lesson this time?

Real life, in all of its glory, and sublime detail, captured in HD. Think of it as beautiful Zen patterns in motion, unfolding before your very eyes. In this episode, an evil and totally silent squirrel, finds plenty of food waiting for him in the grass just moments after knocking birdseed out of a suburban bird feeder.

Nineteen-year old Casey Bell is haunted by a dybbuk–the soul of a dead person barred from heaven–in the form of a young boy who perished in Auschwitz.

Walking to school is serious work. In this film, Sid Davis and crew show children dangerous situations confronting walkers around each and every corner of their perilous commute. No ‘J,’ ‘G,’ ‘I,’ ‘K,’ ‘O’ or ‘Y’ walkers either. Why some might say there’s an alphabet of temptations awaiting the young pedestrians of America, from which only this movie can save you.

Sid Davis is a hugely influential filmmaker, and there’s a good chance that if you were raised in the U.S., you have seen at least one of his movies, but chances are many have never heard his name. Back in the 1950 Sid was a stunt double for John Wayne, Sid heard the terrible news story of how a young girl has been abducted and killed, and with a daughter about the same age, he wondered what he could do to prevent such a crime from happening again. Sid hit the Duke up for $1,000 and made his first film, “The Dangerous Stranger.” Sid sold his film to schools across Southern California, and soon began to make more of the same. Needless to say, Sid made a mint, and soon got out of the double biz, and retired a wealthy land investor.

Sid’s productions can be easily recognized by a few key production values.
#1- No production values.
#2- Overwrought stories full of scare tactics and hyperbole.
#3- Amateur actors reading hammy lines with scant educational value.

We’re such a fan of Sid Davis, that we’re giving him his own category, and begin rolling out many of his finest films today.
