TheArchive: Reviewing the Rare, Retro, and Restored

Brooke Shields is turning 58 next week!?! How is that possible? A renowned actress and model who has graced both the silver screen and fashion runways, Shields is known for her striking beauty. In addition to her remarkable career, Brooke is also celebrated for her witty and memorable quotes. One of her most famous lines is, "Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life."  Beyond her achievements however, especially during mental health awareness month, we thought it important to share how Brooke Shields has also been open about her personal struggle with depression. In her documentary Pretty Baby, she courageously delves into her experiences, shedding light on the challenges she faced. Despite her glamorous exterior, Shields has revealed the depth of her emotional turmoil, stating, "When you're in the middle of a battle with depression, you have to find the strength to fight your way out, even when it feels impossible."

It's hard not to admire  Michael J. Fox known for his iconic roles in "Back to the Future" and the TV series "Family Ties." Also well known for his battle with and embrace of Parkinson's, he relentlessly shines and has been quoted as saying it has been a "gift." Fox is a prominent advocate for research and awareness of the disease and continues to work in the entertainment industry making a positive impact on the lives of others through his foundation and his art. With his most recent star turn in documentary "Still," about his life, Fox is as feisty as ever saying,  “I’ve got shit going on. I’m a tough son of a bitch.”  Indeed he  hasn't lost his spark getting feisty on talk shows and commenting on career choices like passing on "Ghost," a choice that has him refer to himself as a "fucking idiot." Well, one movie he did not pass on was  High School USA  from 1983. In fact, an entertainment news magazine of some re

Israeli Independence Day (Yom Ha'atzmaut) is an Israeli national holiday celebrated annually to mark the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 after a long struggle for sovereignty. As a day of great significance for Israelis, it celebrates their independence, freedom, and national identity: an opportunity to reflect on the history, culture, and achievements of Israel and its people, and to reaffirm the commitment to the country's continued success and prosperity. TheArchive  pays homage to Israel and it's many contributions to the world whether it be, to name a few, technological, cultural, or strategic. We distribute many powerful films spotlighting Israel, remembering the Holocaust, and sharing inspiring stories of history, progress, and the leaders behind the rise of this very influential nation. One particular documentary and its subjects we wanted to spotlight on this reverential occasion is The Prime Ministers ,  based on Yehuda Avner's best-selling book.
