Did you keep track of the movies you watched in 2025? Was there a star or movie you discovered that you can't live without now? Let me know in the comments!
It's so fun we had a very similar total and rewatch number!
ReplyDeleteTHE WINNING OF BARBARA WORTH made a column I wrote on Favorite Discoveries several years ago. I'm so glad you loved it too! I'm also really glad you loved THE TALL T, and that you watched a lot of Randolph Scott!
I bookmarked SLEEPING CAR TO TRIESTE to make sure I watch it soon! THE PRIVATE WAR OF MAJOR BENSON is another I've meant to check out for a long time.
Thanks so much for sharing your viewing throughout the year, along with all the fun costume posts!
Best wishes,
Laura
Thanks so much for your kind comments and continued support of my blog. I hope to put together some more costume posts this year :)
DeleteI love the way you organize these stats! Makes my math brain so happy. ^_^ I haven't seen any of your top 10! I watched one Randolph Scott flick, Captain Kidd (1945), and wasn't a huge fan, but I think that's the fault of certain things about the film, not his acting. I'd be interested in trying She and The Tall T due to them making the list for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! My non-math brain gets a little stressed trying to get everything to add up lol. One year there was a discrepancy of one and for the life of me I couldn't figure it out short of starting over from scratch so I had to just leave it.
DeleteI haven't seen Captain Kidd yet. I definitely recommend "The Tall T." "She" is kind of camp. I started watching it because it looked like an Alaska adventure and then it was giving H.G. Wells "The Time Machine" vibes. The Evil Queen's look in Snow White was modeled after Helen Gahagan's character. Some other films of Scott's I liked were "The Walking Hills," "The Texans," and "Albuquerque." I've heard "Ride Lonesome" is really good but haven't seen it yet.
