Fascinating - I love your statistics. I don't watch as many movies as I do TV series (mainly because that is what my husband loves). I was pleased to discover that some great classics are available on YouTube and the quality is often impressive. Case in point - I watched "Nightmare Alley" a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Through Amazon Prime, I've also discovered blaxplooitation films of the early 70s that I never thought I would be a fan of but I find them oddly entertaining. Pam Grier's films are especially so much fun. Right before the Covid crisis hit, some friends were getting together and took turns choosing a film. That was fun - I introduced them to "Rebecca", "Night of the Hunter" and "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir", three of my favorite films.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed! I need to include what tv shows I watched in my stats post. I mention what I’m watching in my monthly post. There are so many shows I want to watch but just keeping up with what I want to watch on TCM takes up too much time haha. I’ve been trying to watch more movies elsewhere though. There are so many great films on YouTube!
DeleteThat sounds fun! I haven’t seen Night of the Hunter but the other two are great choices!
Isn't King Creole surprisingly excellent? It's one of my favorite movies about juvenile delinquents -- I initially watched it for Vic Morrow, and he did not disappoint, but the whole movie is just great.
ReplyDeleteIt is!! So sad that Elvis wasn’t allowed to continue in that vein.
DeleteAgreed. I do really like his more-serious western Flaming Star too. But I have to be in just the right mood for most of his other movies.
DeleteBTW, I have nominated you here for a Sunshine Blogger Award. Play if you want to! Happy Monday!
I haven’t seen that one yet. Right now I’m watching any movie of his I can access because I have a major crush on him lol.
DeleteThanks!
I love reading these stats! You watch so many movies! Yesterday I finished watching The Great Escape for the first time and I loved it. Now I want to see more Steve McQueen movies.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I watched almost 100 more movies this year than last year. My last big year was 2017.
DeleteDid you know that the soldier chasing McQueen on the motorcycle was... McQueen? They couldn’t find any German stunt drivers good enough so he did it himself lol. I highly recommend The Thomas Crown Affair. I watched The Towering Inferno a couple weeks ago and he was good in that too. One of my favorite movies is The War Lover, which was the first McQueen movie I ever saw, but his character isn’t very nice so I didn’t like him for a long time.
Wow, impressive stats! I only keep track of "new" films and have no idea how many rewatches we see each year, but even so, I think my sister and I only saw about 110 new classics. I envy you watching all those Elvis films for the first time! And King Kong. There weren't any standout films that we saw this year, but some we will definitely revisit in the coming years: Goodbye My Fancy and The Last of Mrs. Cheney ( both Joan Crawford ), The Kentuckian, and Paper Tiger ( David Niven was good in that one ). On a side note, you guessed Mr. Limpet correctly from that years old Impossibly Difficult Name that Movie entry!
ReplyDeleteSomehow missed this comment! Will email you now :)
DeleteI need to revisit Crawford’s Mrs. Cheney. I still haven’t seen The Kentuckian and I’ve never heard of Paper Tiger!
