4th
03 The Silence of the Lambs 1991 Jonathan Demme DVD 13 *** first viewing since the 1990s
5th
Watch one film from every decade covered by Criterion.
1910s/1920s 04 Speedy 1928 Ted Wilde Hulu ****
liked: Buster Keaton; very funny movie; the scenes of NYC and Coney Island were really cool
1930s 05 Feet First 1930 Clyde Bruckman Hulu ***
liked: Buster Keaton; the final third, even if he stole it from Safety Last
disliked: the first two thirds are dull; doesn't really have an ending
6th
1940s 06 Jungle Book 1942 Zoltan Korda Eclipse 30c ***
liked: compliments the Disney movie; Sabu was a great actor - i had only seen Thief of Bagdad before this
disliked: very violent for a children's movie
1950s 07 Vendetta of a Samurai 1952 Kazuo Mori Hulu **
disliked: the plot on imdb is not actually what the film is about; a bit confusing at times; very very slow
7th
1960s 08 The Living Skeleton 1968 Hiroshi Matsuno Eclipse 37c ***
liked: Kikko Matsuoka is very beautiful; some cool kills
disliked: some of the effects were silly; too many flashbacks;
1970s 09 Taxi Driver 1976 Martin Scorsese LD 109 ****
liked: the acting; the atmosphere; the final shootout is hilarious
disliked: the script is awkward at times; the effects are shit, but that's probably intentional
8th
1980s 10 Ghostbusters 1984 Ivan Reitman LD 75 ***** not a great film, but one of the most enjoyable and rewatchable ones - and i can watch it for the Horror challenge and the Comedy challenge
1990s xx Sabotage 1994 Spike Jonze Criterion 100 D2a ***** getting lazy
2000s/2010s xx Camera 2000 David Cronenberg Criterion 248 extra *** supposedly some old boring guy talking says something meaningful and profound about life and death, blah blah blah
