This is dead silly, this is.
Hard Day’s Night was funnier. Less encumbered with plot. I laughed a lot here, too, but there are long stretches where nothing funny happens. I want this to be better than it is. And I’m not really that fond of the music.
Help!. Richard Lester. 1965.
Derby
Uh-oh. A French film about livestock. This isn’t going to have a happy ending.
Or middle, or beginning.
I love the stilted human actors, but having several very different-looking donkeys play Balthazar was kinda odd.
Au hasard Balthazar. Robert Bresson. 1966.

Err… 
mplayer doesn’t want to do screenshots of this fillum? Weird.
Well, I’ll just use my camera.

This is a kinda sadistic film, bur it takes a kinda empowering turn. And everything happens in one small apartment. Mostly in the same room. I kinda like that.
It starts out kinda dicey, but then turns into a really tense and gripping film. The plot, though… Sheesh…
Hepburn is great in this.
Wait Until Dark. Terence Young. 1967.

This film is so 70s! If I didn’t know that it was from 1968 and by Norman Jewison I would have guessed that it was from 1974 and by a very, very restrained Robert Altman. It’s like six years before its time.
The start, at least. The rest is more ordinary.
It could have been the most arty heist movie ever, but then it turns all boring after fifteen minutes or something.
The Thomas Crown Affaire. Norman Jewison. 1968.

Earlier this year I watched one film per year since I was born until now. Then it occurred 
to me that I’m the same age now that my father was when I was born. That’s just too conceptual! Could I watch one film per year from 1968 back to 1922?
Yes!
It’s possible! Although finding films before 1928 that I wanted to watch wasn’t trivial. And there will probably be a lot of Marx Brothers films in the early 30s.
Instead of picking film’s from g_monte’s lists (even though I love his or her’s taste in films), I’m basically going to watch lots of stuff I’ve bought but haven’t watched yet.
Supplemented by some extra purchases to fill out some years.
I now finally have all the films, so let’s roll! Whoo! Films! Old! Films!
