3. The Thing (Carpenter, 1982)

excluding 2020 or 2021 movies, otherwise The Father would be at the tippity top. Pretty much all 50s which I'm discovering to be an amazing decade + a couple 2002s in there. I really liked Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. I know it's kind of divisive but the influence of Kaufman's neurotic genius is definitely felt in the writing and Clooney's directing is fresh, fast and exciting. I liked it a lot. 01. Winchester '73 (Mann, 1950) 02. Rear Window (Hitch, 1954)** 03. Sudden Fear (Miller, 1952) 04. North by Northwest (Hitch, 1959)** 05. 7 Men from Now (Boetticher, 1956) 06. Our Man in Havana (Reed, 1959) 07. In a Lonely Place (Ray, 1950) 08. Outrage (Lupino, 1950) 09. Vertigo (Hitch, 1958)** 10. Summer Interlude (Bergman, 1951) 11. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (Brooks, 1958) 12. Caged (Cromwell, 1950) 13. Fires on the Plain (Ichikawa, 1959) 14. King Creole (Curtiz, 1958) 15. Bloody Sunday (Greengrass, 2002) 16. Sunset Blvd. (Wilder, 1950) 17. The Marrying Kind (Cukor, 1952) 18. Shadows (Cassavetes, 1959) 19. Early Summer (Ozu, 1951) 20. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (Clooney, 2002) ** technically a rewatch but who's counting almost cheated on put Night of the Hunter in here because my opinion took a huge turn, but I feel like I didn't watch it that long ago whereas the Hitch's were 10+ years ago. That's a wonderful movie too, I'm just late to the party  |

From what I understand, it has to do with whomever holds the rights to the film, but the film has never been released on DVD in the United States, despite it being among the very first inductees into the National Film Registry back in 1989. It'll enter the public domain in three years time, so my hope is that it'll become a bit more available when that time comes. |

I think it's because movies are dead so far and I don't care much about TV so I've done a lot of digging this year to find things.........these are all post-March because I lumped through March into 2020

Guilty Pleasure ........ close to a 7:
Abrakadabra (2018) - Luciano & Nico Onetti and Mujo are both great and pretty underseen. i remember seeing Mujo a few years ago and thinking it was insane something like that could have basically no recognition. and Demons is just incredible stuff and at least kinda well known, along with the equally good Funeral Parade of Roses. |
