Movies I Watched in January

Patricia Neal in The Fountainhead (1949)

This month I ended up watching several short movies. I also ended up watched several of Patricia Neal's films (TCM's star of the month). I used to not like Patricia Neal but that was because I didn't like the first two movies of hers that I saw. Then I saw her in Hud and was impressed by her Oscar winning performance. And last year I ended up seeing a handful of her films that I was watching for a co-star (Eleanor Parker, Jack Carson, etc.). When I looked at her filmography I realized that by watching a few more of her films I would have watched all her work up to 1954 (there are two movies I'm going to watch online from 1952 that TCM didn't show to complete that). Because of that, Neal will definitely end up on my end-of-year stats for 2020 as one of the stars I watched most (7 this month!).
  1. Our Dancing Daughters (1928) - Joan Crawford, Anita Page, John Mack Brown
  2. The Secret 6 (1931) - Wallace Beery, Lewis Stone, Jean Harlow, Clark Gable
  3. The Phantom of Crestwood (1932) - Karen Morley, Ricardo Cortez, Anita Louise, H.B. Warner

  9. Things to Come (1936) - Raymond Massey, Ralph Richardson
  10. Topper Takes a Trip (1939) - Roland Young, Constance Bennett, Billie Burke
  11. The Adventures of Jane Arden (1939) - Rosella Towne, William Gargan 
  12. Sporting Blood (1940) - Robert Young & Maureen O’Sullivan, Lewis Stone, William Gargan 
  13. Background to Danger (1943) - George Raft, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Brenda Marshall 
  14. The Verdict (1946) - Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre
  15. The Stranger (1946) - Edward G. Robinson, Orson Welles & Loretta Young, Richard Long

  24. Washington Story (1952) - Van Johnson & Patricia Neal, Louis Calhern
  25. You for Me (1952) - Jane Greer, Peter Lawford, Gig Young
  26. Sombrero (1953) - Ricardo Montalban, Pier Angeli, Vittorio Gassman, Yvonne de Carlo, Rick Jason, Cyd Charisse, Nina Foch
  27. The World, The Flesh and the Devil (1959) - Harry Belafonte, inger Stevens, Mel Ferrer
  28. *Sunday in New York (1963) - Jane Fonda & Rod Taylor, Cliff Robertson 
  29. The Great Escape (1963) - Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough, James Garner, Charles Bronson, James Coburn
  30. The Cincinnati Kid (1965) - Steve McQueen, Edward G. Robinson, Ann-Margaret, Karl Malden, Tuesday Weld, Joan Blondell
  31. Knives Out (2019) - Daniel Craig, Christopher Plummer, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon
Conquest of the Air (1940) - Laurence Olivier
Scandal: The Trial of Mary Astor (2018)

Patricia Neal wore the same exact wedding dress and veil in both Bright Leaf and Raton Pass!

Least favorite film: Knives Out. The puking storyline turned me off. I wouldn't have even watched it had I known about it.

Favorite movie: The Search was beautiful and heartbreaking and I sobbed at the end. I also liked The World, the Flesh and the Devil, especially the first half (before Mel Ferrer showed up). The Mary Astor documentary was fascinating!

Movies I Watched in December

Carefree

My apologies for the slightly late post. I decided to start off the new decade with a bad cold... I don’t like to get on the ol’ household desktop when I’m sick and there are a few things I can’t do on my iPad in order to have my posts ready for publishing. Look for my end-of-year movie stats post later this week!

This month I didn’t rewatch as many Christmas movies as I usually do. I feel like I watched a more unusual assortment of films than normal. If you follow my blog Facebook page (linked on the side of my blog), you’ll know I took advantage of Bette Davis being November’s Star of the Month on TCM and took tons of screenshots of her hats to be used in another Bette’s Hats and Reviews post sometime this year. Speaking of Bette, I read ‘I’d Love to Kiss You...’ Conversations with Bette Davis by Whitney Stine, which I absolutely loved and highly recommend. I also started Mission: Jimmy Stewart and the Fight for Europe by Robert Matzen.

  1. Sherlock, Jr. (1924) - Buster Keaton
  2. The Millionaire (1931) - George Arliss

  23. *Home Alone (1990) - Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Catherine O’Hara, John Candy
  24. Christmas Getaway (2017-Hallmark) - Travis Van Winkle & Bridget Regan 
  25. Christmas in Evergreen: Tidings of Joy (2019) - Maggie Lawson (Psych)
Least Favorite Film: I couldn’t see the appeal of the Mr. Belvedere character as portrayed by Clifton Webb in Sitting Pretty

Favorite Film: Don’t really have a favorite this month (hard to compete with those Christmas movies!). The only time I watch a Hallmark movie is when Maggie Lawson (Psych) is in it, but when I saw that Christmas Getaway starred two actors from The Last Ship I had to check it out. The fact that they knew one another prior to filming greatly helped their chemistry, which has been lacking in the three Lawson films I’ve watched. It’s one I would definitely watch again.

Sitting Pretty

Movies I Watched in November


This month I finally got to see the second and third stories in The Story of Three Loves (saw the first one in September 2018). I also read “Dutch Girl: Audrey Hepburn and World War II” by Robert Matzen. Highly recommend.
  1. *Duck Soup (1933) - The Marx Brothers, Margaret Dumont, Louis Calhern 
  2. *The 39 Steps (1935) - Robert Donat & Madeleine Carroll
  3. Charley’s Aunt (1941) - Jack Benny & Kay Francis, Edmund Gwenn

  13. *How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) - Matthew McConaughey & Kate Hudson
Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words (2015)
John Ford: The Man Who Invented America (2018)

Least Favorite Film: It wasn't that bad, but I wasn't in the mood to watch Colonel Effinham's Raid and the quality was terrible. The John Ford documentary was too political.

Favorite Film: I really enjoyed River of No Return, from the title song with it's sweeping Canadian scenery to Monroe's more serious performance (one of her best in my opinion out of the films I've seen). Duck Soup, which I hadn't seen in a decade and didn't remember, was hilarious! The Ingrid Bergman documentary was amazing. I loved all the home movie footage!

Station West (1948)

Movies I Watched in October

Count Your Blessings

This month I watched so many movies! Use your libraries folks! The library by my aunt's (that I was able to get a card to when I started working here over the summer) has been a gold mine regarding finding movies of certain movie stars I've been trying to watch all/most of their films: Eleanor Parker, Robert Ryan, Priscilla Lane, Dennis Morgan, Glynis Johns, Eve Arden, John Garfield & Robert Donat (will be getting several of their films in the coming weeks). I have 50+ more movies on my list! I also FINALLY got to see Bon Voyage! (1962) with Michael Callan (some of you may recall he was a past movie crush). I didn't want to spend $17 for a dvd and kept waiting for TCM to show it on one of their Disney nights. Another one I've been waiting a while to see was Quantez for John Gavin.

  2. The 39 Steps (1935) - Robert Donat & Madeleine Carroll

  19. Here Come the Nelsons (1952) - Ozzie & Harriet, David, & Ricky Nelson
  20. Beware, My Lovely (1952) - Robert Ryan & Ida Lupino 
  21. Never Wave at a WAC (1953) - Rosalind Russell & Paul Douglas
  22. Scared Stiff (1953) - Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, Lizbeth Scott, Dorothy Malone

  34. *Double Wedding (2009) - Tia & Tamara Mowry, O-T Fagbenle, Chad Connell
  35. Downton Abbey (2019) - Dame Maggie Smith, Michelle Dockery, Laura Carmichael, Hugh Bonneville

Least Favorite Movie: Well, I only watched half of both They Came to Cordura (1959) starring Gary Cooper, Rita Hayworth, and Michael Callan (who I was watching it for) and The Story of Mankind (1957), Ronald Colman’s final film, so... Being a completest I’m sure I’ll finish them one day. I didn’t like Detective Story but the end had me in tears. The plot of The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker was stupid and Dorothy McGuire needs to get her head examined to remarry Clifton Webb. Ida Lupino’s character got on my nerves in Beware, My Lovely. You run to a window at the front of the house, smash it, and scream bloody murder woman! Not a back window with a feeble “help” in your low register voice! Lupino is too strong a woman to pull off acting like a weakling.

Favorite Movie: I loved The 39 Steps! I wanted to watch it again the next day. I always forget how much I love Robert Donat. I also read the original book by John Buchan and the BFI Classics book on the film. Scared Stiff (1953) was hilarious (and perfect for October)!

Five Year Anniversary

Last week I realized that my five year anniversary for this blog was coming up. This year has definitely been my worst yet, with me basically just posting what I watch every month. This year so far I've only hosted one blogathon, co-hosted two (and on my Olivia one I never even added or read all the entries) and joined two that I actually wrote posts for. Sigh. One day I hope to get back up to standard again.

Accurate depiction of how I feel about my blog.

Until then, I decided to share a list of my favorite movie from each year, like I did for my first anniversary. A few have changed and I've seen some films from years I hadn't before. I hope you'll enjoy and thanks to the few of you who continue to comment on my very rare posts.

Movies I Watched in September



This month I finally got around to watching The Three Faces of Eve as well as some Sidney Poitier films. Prior to this month I had only seen him in Lilies of the Field, The Defiant Ones, the last half of Duel at Diablo (on tv - really want to see the first half), and the very beginning of Paris Blues. He's such an incredible actor and I so I took advantage of watching several of his films while he was Star of the Month on TCM.

  19. Looking for Love (1964) - Connie Francis, Jim Hutton
  20. The Slender Thread (1965) - Sidney Poitier & Anne Bancroft, Telly Savalas
  21. A Patch of Blue (1965) - Sidney Poitier, Shelley Winters, Elizabeth Hartman

  28. A Quiet Place (2018) - John Krasinski & Emily Blunt
  29. The Legend of 5 Mile Cave (2019) - Adam Baldwin 
Least Favorite Movie: Definitely Love is a Headache. Franchot Tone WAY overacted. Snowball Express was a little too corny for me. The Belle of New York didn't have much of a story line but I wanted to watch it for Vera-Ellen. The cast of Looking for Love had absolutely NO chemistry.


Favorite Movie: So I've suddenly become a Susan Hayward fan lol. I've seen some of her later movies but she never did anything for me but this month I watched two noirs and was really loving her! And of course I was blown away by all the Sidney Poitier films I watched as well as 12 Angry Men. I don't do horror movies but A Quiet Place wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Emily Blunt is my favorite modern actress and I love the chemistry between her and her real life & on-screen husband, John Krasinski.
