COLUMN

THAT OLD FEELING In his day job, TIME film critic Richard Corliss writes sharp, informed (and extremely quotable) reviews of the current cinema. Happily for us at TIME.com he also writes "That Old Feeling," a weekly column that spotlights, and often celebrates, the rich popular arts and entertainments of the 20th century. Last week Corliss gave out the Feelies, his awards for the best creaky culture of 2001. This week he writes on the closing of the peerless collection of movie stills at New York City's Museum of Modern Art. As he writes, "May everything old be new again." At time.com/sampler
