Movies I Watched in December

Jubal (1956)

This month I watched Die Hard for the first time. So the big question is of course: is it a Christmas movie? My verdict is... kind of. It felt like Home Alone but for adults. It put me in a Bruce Willis mood so I finally started watching Moonlighting again (I had watched three episodes earlier this year but couldn't get into it - it's on Tubi now as well as Hulu).

Least Favorite Film: Young and Willing.

Favorite Movie: Definitely 3:10 to Yuma! It's one of those movies where I wanted to watch it again right after it finished. I also really enjoyed Jubal (obviously) and Die Hard. 

Here's a few articles/blog posts I enjoyed on the two Glenn Ford films: 

Jubal - Jeff Arnold's West

3:10 to Yuma - Hamelette's Soliloquy: Post 1 - Post 2 - Post 3 

Killing Time: 3:10 to Yuma & the Lonesome West

3:10 to Yuma - Indiana University 

Favorite Quote: Robert Ryan to Joan Fontaine in Born to Be Bad (1950): "Have you seen the view? It looks better with me in it."
