For me, 1, 3 and 4 are the best. Mixed feelings about 2, 5 and 6. I have high hopes for 7 and 8 though based on what I've read. Look forward to comparing notes when you have completed the series. I'll probably do a whole blog post devoted to the eight films when I'm done.

They're still variable from film to film but the first one was the worst and kept me from watching any of the others for quite some time. <br /><br />That's speaking as someone who's only a casual Potter fan though, meaning I liked the books when I got around to them but wasn't one of those who flocked to the stores in rabid anticipation of each. Still had to deal with them though since I worked in a book store throughout their publishing releases.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-29832395502406389782017-01-03T19:16:49.749-05:002017-01-03T19:16:49.749-05:00Well, There's Something About Mary is one of m...Well, There's Something About Mary is one of my favorite movies to quote, which I will do at length in your comments section when you drop your post on that one.

It's about time I watch it. <br /><br />Just heard so much about Suspiria, gotta see it. <br /><br />Initially, I was only going to watch Hell Up in Harlem, but found out its the sequel to Black Caesar. Why not see both?<br /><br />I can stand to beef up my viewership of J Stewart movies, so it's cool. <br /><br />I do love The Searchers and Liberty Valance has been in my watchlist for some time. <br /><br />Love all the suggestions I get from you.

That is awesome. Of the ones in the list I haven't seen, <i>THX-1138</i>, <i>The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance</i>, <i>Black Caesar</i>, <i>Hell Up in Harlem</i>, and <i>Rope</i> are excellent choices as I hope to see one of them this year as I want to do more Hitchcock. Hope you have fun with yours although there's one film in that list I'm sure we're going to disagree on.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-12524572953445195872017-01-02T17:25:04.628-05:002017-01-02T17:25:04.628-05:00Thanks.

That should be a unique experience.<br /><br />Always meant to watch THX 1138 for years and years but not being much for sci-fi it constantly got pushed back. I'm going to have to get on it lickety split now to be ready, so thanks!<br /><br />Suspiria is perfect for October and Halloween. It's got some ragtag elements but they add to the weirdness of it.<br /><br />I've seen half of your double feature, Hell Up in Harlem but never Black Caesar. I'll have to poke around to get up to speed.<br /><br />Speaking of double features, two Jimmy Stewart films this year! Very cool.<br /><br />Both good films, Rope is an interesting experiment being shot in sequence even if it is by necessity somewhat stagy. <br /><br />I LOVE The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! If I recall correctly you said you're a fan of The Searchers and Valance pulls together many of the same cast and crew...Ford, Vera Miles, John Qualen, The Duke with the added bonus of Stewart. It's the one I'm looking forward to the most to hear you opinion on.<br /><br />I'm very pleased that you're going to see some of my recommendations :-) I try and pick more obscure films to shed some light on them and hope they at least some get watched.
