Huh? What a weird movie about nothing… I guess that was the point. The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie – Criterion Collection 76 to go.

The Sting was really fun. No wonder it was one of the Top 100! A young Robert Redford makes a great con man. What made me laugh during this movie was how easy it was to con people before technology, Internet, cell phones etc. The availability of open/free information just evens the playing field of [...]

This movie made me laugh. I know, I know, it’s a ground-breaking, revolutionary, Oscar-winning film. But as far as acting styles, it seemed rather forced, which says a lot for previous acting style if this film shook things up. I bet it was rather shocking at the time though. :) A Streetcar Named Desire (Two-Disc [...]

I realized that I have seen 2 movies off the Top 100 Grossing Films list that I didn’t cross off the first time: 42 Ghostbusters 1984 36 Pinocchio 1940 So I’m crossing these off today, and it’s totally not cheating! :)

I watched “A Hard Day’s Night” this week, (from the Ebert 102 Movies You Must See List). It’s very striking how young they look in this movie. Anyway, it was adorable, who doesn’t love The Beatles! :)

I finally finished The Chronicles of Narnia – The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Widescreen Edition) DVD. I had paused it for several day… but finally got back to finishing it up yesterday. I’d skip this movie, but I can see why children love it, who doesn’t love a talking lion? :) Really not [...]

I watched #08, Doctor Zhivago (Two-Disc Special Edition), last night. I thought it was going to be pretty cheesy, and it was, but something about it was just really good. It was sad, and predictable, and very 1965, but it makes you think about people and history, and how life is predictable and complicated and [...]

I’ve only seen 23 from the Ebert List, so 79 more for that list. :( I guess I need to see about 1 per week… for the next 2.74 years! :) Movies I Haven’t Seen on Ebert’s “102 Movies You Must See” List: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Stanley Kubrick 8 1/2 (1963) Federico Fellini [...]

It’s a start! I imported this list into a Remember The Milk task list. I’ve seen 68 of the Top 1oo Grossing Films list, (I’m using the “Adjusted for Inflation” list), so only 32 more to go! Top 100 Grossing Films That I Haven’t Seen: 04 E.T. 1982 08 Doctor Zhivago 1965 10 Snow White [...]
