Chinatown (1974) Watch Along

#21 on the AFI list!

I really liked this movie. It is a cinematic masterpiece for many aspects - story, direction, tone, and acting—all woven into a captivating narrative. This period piece dazzles with its meticulous attention to detail with perfect costumes, hair, and makeup, while brilliantly reimagining noir in vibrant color. It was done quiet well and I loved seeing it colourized. It stands out to me as one of the finest films, skillfully intertwining societal issues with compel...

"The Maltese Falcon" (1941) Watch Along

Praise be all things Film Noir! The aesthetic is just too good! I cannot wait to watch more of these!!!!! I loved seeing HUMPHREY! and a lot of the cast from "Casablanca"! I think this will be even more amazing on a rewatch but over all I loved it and all things Noir. Especially the crime, the mystery and the deceit never knowing who to trust! The classic Archetype's are awesome and allll they bring to the table.

Talk to me about what you love about this movie! Can't wait to see what y...

Classic Film Noir Poll

Hello, everyone!

I reached out to some incredible Patrons for assistance with this poll, and I'm grateful for their suggestions! Exploring this genre has been quite an adventure. Researching these films has been fun as they all seem incredibly captivating!

You may notice that some movies didn't make it onto this list; I wanted to dip my toes into the genre first. Pre 1960's and "true "noir. (don't come for me)

Stay tuned for the next post for nominations al...

Hey Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! What did everyone do for Mothers Day? I bombarded my mom with test questions to see if she had actually seen all the movies which Harrison Ford has starred in and she was pretty good! She had even seen "Witness" and remembered the plot! I was proud! She is a true "Fordie" (I dunno what his fans call him?).

Here is whats up this week!

"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" Watch Along

Howdy! This movie should be called "The Score, the Direction and the Cinematography!" LOL bad joke!

Wow, this movie is a monster! I enjoyed it! I have been having fun on this journey into westerns - a genre I am in the dark about! But I feel like I am able to appreciate so much about it because of the amazing filmmaking! I am enjoying getting to know these iconic characters and gunfights! I think there are probably things I may have missed (but that's why I have you!) So many movies I h...
