F&C1967: Wait Until Dark

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.

F&C1968: The Thomas Crown Affair

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.

F&C

Earlier this year I watched one film per year since I was born until now. Then it occurred P1300587to 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!
