So, I Semi-Recently Watched One of My Girlfriend’s Favourite Films…

Evening. So, as the titles states, I semi-recently watched one of my girlfriend’s favourite films.

Together, we watched Amélie (Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain). Having not watched much French Cinema from the 21st century, and ignoring my girlfriend’s bias, I … Continue reading So, I Semi-Recently Watched One of My Girlfriend’s Favourite Films…

Oh, if you’re still unsure as to what Shot at 60 is, it’s a series of posts where I use a screenshot from a second or two after the one hour mark in … Continue reading Shot at 60 part IX: Gene Hackman

My Favourite Christmas Movie…

Ho, ho, ho, folks. It’s that time of year when an overload of Christmas movies and generally big-ish movies, old and new, appear on TV.  From the benchmark-setting It’s a Wonderful Life (dir. Capra, 1946) to the modern classic Elf (dir. Favreau, 2003), we all have a favourite – my girlfriend’s favourite happens to be Home Alone (dir. Columbus, 1990). In this post, I’ll be discussing my favourite. So, what is my … Continue reading My Favourite Christmas Movie…

Shot at 60 part VIII: Christmas

Merry Christmas, folks. As it’s Christmas, I feel the need to do a Shot at 60 on Christmas movies. For your information:  As only a couple of Christmas movies were released theatrically in the 1970s, I’ve used three 1980s and three 1990s Christmas movies instead of usually having two. Enjoy! Scrooge (1970) National General Pictures / Dir: Ronald Neame / Prod: Solo   Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) … Continue reading Shot at 60 part VIII: Christmas
