Of those 31 films, so far I've seen 15 of them, and they were all pretty fabulous.
I think trying to decide what the best year in film was is too hard of a task. There were so many good films released in the last 100 years, with so much talent. And these particular films cover such a variety of genres and audiences, from animated, to romance, to comedies, and action adventure fantasy films. How could you possibly say one year was the absolute best?
So, in conclusion, I need to watch more films from the list and blog more often. Please accept this post as an apology, and you are hopefully sticking with me as I'm slow to post things :-)
Hey, I just found your blog through the Adult Nerdfighters FB group. I'm gonna try to keep up with it because I also love watching films and I always wanted to do the list thing, I never get organized enough but maybe this will make me ;)
ReplyDeleteThe lists I usually follow are by director or writer... For example, I'm a huge fan of Charlie Kaufman.
I checked out your other posts and I haven't seen any of the movies you wrote about! hehehe, so maybe in time we'll fine more movies in common ;)
Welcome!
DeleteI always have a hard time finding the motivation to watch movies from The List. I almost always enjoy the ones I've seen so far, but I get busy, and just want to watch something I've seen a hundred times where I don't have to think. So it has been a long process, but I'm hoping to be more consistent with it!
And it was much easier to do this when The List was ready made. Other wise I would probably have a hard time focusing on picking a certain actress or director or genre.
