[B]Movie #139/ New Movie #73/ 1980s Movie #12/ Shudder Film #7: The Beyond
[/B]More of an excuse for creative practical effects than any kind of satisfying narrative, but the practical effects are a lot of fun. The idea of seven gateways to hell seems like something worth exploring in a TV show.
7/10
[B]Movie #140/ New Movie #74/ 1980s Movie #13/ Shudder Film #8: Phantasm
[/B]This is an oddball independent film with a lot of weird concepts and practical effects. It certainly has its own style.
7/10
[B]Movie #141/ New Movie #75/ 1970s Movie #14/ Shudder Film #9: Cat O’Nine Tails
[/B]Karl Malden’s blind former reporter is a pretty likable co-lead for a slasher, and makes for some interesting complications in the otherwise completely competent giallo.
7/10
[B]Movie #142/ 1960s Movie #18/ Criterion Edition #27/ Czech Film #5/ Jiri Menzel Film #3/ Trains Movie #4: Closely Watched Trains
[/B]What works so well about the film is the contrast between the setting (Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia) and the concerns of the lead, an unambitious man who got a steady job and wants to satisfy his girlfriend, stumbling into a moment of historical impact. The combination of satire, sex comedy, and resistance makes this the definitive film of the Czech New Wave.
10/10
[B]Movie #143/ New Movie #76/ 2010s Movie #17/ Shudder Film #10/ Trains Movie #5/ South Korean Movie #2: Train to Busan
[/B]Solid zombie film with decent social commentary, and an interesting concept executed well with a zombie outbreak on a train, resulting in clever threats and solutions to challenges.
8/10
[B]Movie #144/ 2000s Movie #9/ Criterion Edition #28: The New World (First Cut)
[/B]This version remains an impressive take on people whose actions will be relevant for centuries figuring out their own lives during a historically significant time, although I do think I prefer the shorter theatrical cut, or the longer extended edition. The cinematography is breathtaking, and it is one of the great film culture clashes, a surprisingly mature and complex romance.
9/10
[IMG]https://whatwouldspideydo.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/larks-on-a-string.jpg[/IMG]
[B]Movie #145/ 1990s Movie #11/ New Film #6/ Czech Film #6/ Jiri Menzel Film #4: Larks on a String
[/B]Technically, this was made in the 60s, but wasn’t released until the early 90s. It starts as a whimsical take of life at a reeducation camp (a highlight being an absurd wedding by proxy), but things get darker when the lead starts wondering where his friends have gone and asking too many questions of the authorities.
9/10
[B]Movie #146/ New Movie# 77/ 2010s Movie #18/ Comic Book Documentary #4: Future Shock- The Story of 2000 AD
[/B]It’s an accessible documentary about the impact of a British comics anthology on pop culture and American comics, and the feedback loop as the company has to adjust to all these changes. It’s a good primer on a period in comics that I’m not all that familiar with, and has some great stories. My main complaints are that some of the events seem convenient (The current publisher and creative teams are all an improvement over a dark period in the 90s) and some of the rationale isn’t always explained (Are concerns about censors due to British law, the market, or some mix of the two?)
8/10
[B]Movie #147/ New Movie #78/ 2000s Movie #10/ New Film #6/ Czech Film #7/ Jiri Menzel Film #5: I Served the King of England
[/B]It’s satisfying to see Menzel back at it thirty years after the Czech New Wave came to a cruel end. It’s a fun story of a flawed ambitious man, exploring themes and eras from Menzel’s earlier work.
8/10
[B]Movie #148/ New Film #79 Silent Era Movie #10/ Criterion Edition #29: Master of the House
[/B]A theatrical adaptation set in one house is probably not the best material for a silent movie, but this is a worthwhile look of a patriarch getting humbled by the women around him, after spending the first half of the film earning their ire.
7/10
[B]Movie #149/ New Film #80/ 2010s Movie #19: Dragon Ball Super: Broly
[/B]It’s a solid movie-length adventure for iconic characters, having some fun with the clashes between Goku and Vegeta, while setting up a worthwhile threat, and introducing decent side characters with some modern touches, like the assistants of the big bad guy having their own character arcs.
8/10
[B]Movie #150/ New Movie #81/ 1990s Movie #12/ Criterion Edition #30/ Comic Book Documentary #5: Crumb
[/B]Probably the most famous comic book documentary, it’s a great take on a writer/ artist who provides excellent material. Robert Crumb’s upbringing, unusual style and some of the well-earned controversies about his work are all explored, in a portrait of a man who seems guileless but reveals a more twisted personality. It comes across as what it is; a talented director telling the story of a complex friend involved in a visually interesting medium. The commentary tracks are particularly useful, given how well Zwigoff knows the subject.

MAJOR Congratz on Hitting and Surpassing the 200 Movies Challenge [B][COLOR="#B22222"]Attila Kiss[/COLOR][/B]! :D
-
I'm a bit late to this, but I haven't been active on these boards for a number of years.
I started actively tracking the movies I watched back in 2007 when I made it a point to watch all of the Best Picture winners and the AFI top 100. In 2010, I participated in a challenge on another board to see an average of a movie a day and I managed 459 movies for the year. I've completed the challenge a few other times over the years and am currently working on watching every movie ever nominated for an Academy Award (other than documentaries). I've made a lot of progress, but still have about 860 movies to go out of those that are available.
I'm retired so I have plenty of time to watch movies and tv shows. The movies I watch are a mix of movies recorded on my dvr off of TCM or other stations, available on streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime or Disney+, and movie that I check out of the library on dvd. My library system has a ton of movies available and I can get others from libraries around the state using interlibrary loan.

I usually see around 15-20 movies in the theater during an average year, but only saw 3 this year before theaters closed up.
I'll probably stop around 370 or so for the year and spend more time catching up on tv shows.

I went with a sub-goal for this group of films: 5 films with Michelle Williams, 5 films with Casey Affleck (I’ve been slacking with watching more recent work so that seems like a way to catch up), 5 films in which three or more actors were nominated for Academy Awards, and 5 pairs of films that competed for Oscars. Manchester By the Sea counts in all categories.
Movie #151/ 1990s Film #11/ 3 Acting Nominations #1/ Casey Affleck Movie #1/ Pair #1A: Good Will Hunting
Too many of the characters in the film are world-class intellects, but this is otherwise a good story about conflicting views of how to help a man with tremendous potential, and some serious flaws. Williams is amazing as the wise psychiatrist. The film is legitimately inspirational, and quite rewatchable.
9/10
Movie #152/ New Movie #82/ 2010s Movie #20/ Michelle Williams Film #1: Venom
Thanks to recent Sony announcements, this is officially the worst MCU film, and probably the worst Spider-Man adjacent film. It’s not terrible, just bland, wasting actors like Tom Hardy and Williams on a generic superhero origin story.
5/10
Movie #153/ 2019 Movie #11: Knives Out
This is an immensely satisfying and entertaining mystery, simultaneously old-fashioned (a suspicious murder and a surprising reading of the will) and modern (dealing with immigration, race and social media.) The cast is extraordinary (the star turn for Ana De Armas is the highlight), and the script is clever.
9/10
[IMG]https://whatwouldspideydo.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/the-hunt.jpg?w=1024[/IMG]
Movie #154/ New Film #83/ 2020 Movie #8: The Hunt
The controversy here was way too overblown, especially since the whole plot about liberal elites hunting Trump supporter types was not going to make the left look good.
7/10
Movie #155/ New Film #84/ 1980s Movie #14: Clue
After watching Knives Out again, I figured I’d check out an obvious influence. It’s fine, with some standout sequences, especially distracting an officer from noticing the corpse in the room.
7/10
Movie #156/ New Movie #85/ 2019 Movie #12: Long Shot
Decent high concept for a political romantic comedy, as a shlub goes after the ultimate women way out of his league; a young Secretary of State/ Presidential candidate. Do I buy everything? No, some of the satire is too obvious even with Trump in the White House. But it’s fun.
7/10
Movie #157/ New Movie #86/ 2019 Movie #13: Frozen 2
An interesting sequel that explores some dark themes, as the royal sisters learn about the flaws of their ancestors. Maybe it’s a difference between Pixar and Disney, but the songs do get on my nerves.
7/10
Movie #158/ New Movie #87/ 2019 Movie #14: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
This is a decent buddy pic about a cynical reporter and the nicest man in the world. Tom Hanks is great at showing a Mr. Rogers who is a great guy, but who still has to work hard at it.
8/10
[IMG]https://whatwouldspideydo.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/science-vs-cinema-the-martian-1.jpg[/IMG]
Movie #159/ 2010s Movie #21: The Martian
It solidifies Ridley Scott as one of the great science fiction directors, with this, Alien and Blade Runner among the best top three of any director in any medium. It’s a really enjoyable piece about one man’s survival, both from his perspective, and the forces of Earth, unable to fully help him when he’s literally on a different planet.
10/10
Movie #160/ New Movie #88/ 1940s Film #12/ Pair #2A: Wilson
The biopic of Woodrow Wilson is not a great example of the Golden Age of Hollywood. I could see why it flopped. It’s episodic, without much of a narrative, as the President of Princeton becomes President of the United States during World War One. Major moments are skipped, including his entire decision and rationale for running for President. They gloss over the racism and civil liberties violations.
5/10
Movie #161/ New Movie #89/ 2010s Film #22/ 3 Acting Nominations #2/ Casey Affleck Movie #2/ Michelle Williams Film #2/ Pair #3A: Manchester By the Sea
It’s not as draining as you would think, in a film about a damaged family, and a guy trying to do the right thing by his nephew after his brother dies (which is by no means the worst thing that has happened to the family.)
9/10
Movie #162/ New Movie #90/ 1940s Film #13/ 3 Acting Nominations #3/ Pair #2B: Going My Way
This is a bit unusual in the 3+ performances category as one actor was nominated in two categories. It’s a pleasant film about two priests learning to get along (there are initial conflicts but they’re not enemies), with an ending that is truly powerful and well-earned.
9/10
Movie #163/ 1960s Film #19/ 3+ Acting Nominations #4/ Pair #3B: Judgment at Nuremberg
Maximilian Schell won an Oscar for the best performance in a film with Spencer Tracy, Judy Garland, Marlene Dietrich, Burt Lancaster and Montgomery Clift, as a lawyer walking a very fine line in defending Germany after World War II, and suggesting that anyone was capable of that. It’s a terrific film, about some serious ideas.

Movie #164/ 2010s Film #23/ Michelle Williams Film #3: The Greatest Showman
The musical about PT Barnum is historically inaccurate, but has some legitimately moving moments, and fantastic showtunes. I can completely see why it was such a hit.
8/10
Movie #165/ 1960s Movie #20/ French Film #5/ Criterion Edition #31: Alphaville
Watching it again, this Godard curiosity remains aggressively weird. It’s very much a noir, with Eddie Constantine playing detective Lenny Caution, just as he has in many other films. Except this time it’s by Godard with Anna Karina as the love interest. And its a sci fi dystopia, with very little special effects. But the computer is kind of a fascist, controlling a world where no one is allowed to show emotion. It’s more interesting than great.
7/10
Movie #166/ 2000s Movie #11/ Michelle Williams Film #4: I’m Not There
It’s an odd avant-garde film, with multiple actors playing facets of Bob Dylan, that may include a lot of references that don’t make any sense to the people who aren’t familiar with his story. Although it does remain quite accessible.
8/10
Movie #167/ New Movie #91/ 2010s Movie #24/ 3+ Academy Nominated Performances #5/ Pair #4A: Vice
This is an oddball biopic that has to cover a lot of territory since it’s about a man who was White House Chief of Staff, a member of Republican leadership in Congress, Secretary of Defense and a consequential Vice President. When watching it, I’ll quibble on timing before realizing that they just skipped a big moment (IE- a rather close presidential reelection.) It’s a decent take on a man pulling himself together, and a look at a major Washington power couple, although it doesn’t seem to recognize how Cheney could view his actions as correct, even if it understands that he does.
8/10
Movie #168/ New Movie #92/ 2010s Movie #25/ Casey Affleck Movie #4: A Ghost Story
It’s a decent quiet movie about what matters of a man’s life when he has become a ghost, and ends up part of the future and history of a location.
8/10
Movie #169/ 1970s Movie #: THX-1138
The vision of a dystopia is rather well-realized and often quite modern.
7/10
Movie #170/ New Movie #93/ 2010s Movie #26: Time Trap
I’m a sucker for time travel films, so this story about college students bumbling into a cave where time goes differently is right up my alley. And there are some decent twists, as they realize the scale of the weirdness.
7/10
Movie #171/ New Film #94/ 2020 Movie #8: The Old Guard
It’s a decent concept about an immortal team of mercenaries that have some solid action sequences, and good twists on the concept. The main villain isn’t that interesting, although they do seed a better one for the sequel
8/10
Movie #172/ New Movie #95/ 1930s Movie #12/ Criterion Edition #32/ Pair #5A: The Smiling Lieutenant
As far as I can tell, Ernst Lubitsch and Maurice Chevalier have a rare distinction as the only director/ lead actor duo to be responsible multiple Best Picture nominations in the same year (Francis Ford Copolla and John Cazale did The Godfather Part 2 and The Conversation together in the same year but Cazale wasn’t lead) which speaks to their success. The comedy about a lieutenant who pisses off royalty by accidental impertinence is perfectly fine, especially when he has to choose between love and responsibility, and the film doesn’t go for the cliched choice.
8/10
[IMG]https://whatwouldspideydo.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/91201c7ed36154d9eafb61b7fcd5d2e0.jpg[/IMG]
Movie #173/ New Movie #96/ 1930s Movie #13/ Criterion Edition #33/ Pair #5B: One Hour With You
The other Lubitsch/ Chevalier film to earn a Best Picture nomination at the fifth Academy Awards. The songs are better, and the basic concept of a loving couple stumbling into adultery is a fun example of Pre-Code Hollywood, but there’s too much of a contrast between the light touch and the topic/
7/10
Movie #174/ New Movie #97/ 2010s Movie #27/ Pair #5B: First Reformed
This is an interesting film, worthy of deeper study that doesn’t require any familiarity with the influences, although I’m a little bit worried about its success among critics.
8/10
Movie #175/ New Movie #98/ 1970s Movie #: Frenzy
This is what happens when Hitchcock gets an R rating. The rape and gags involving naked corpses suggest that he might have been better restrained. It is kinda funny to see British actors I know exclusively from one TV performance decades later.
7/10
Movie #176/ New Movie #99/ 2000s Movie #12/ Michelle Williams Movie #5: Meek’s Cutoff
There’s much about the film I don’t care for, but it is very deliberate in showing a version of what the west was like: indecisive miserable people on a dangerous journey where much was unknown.
6/10
Movie #177/ 1990s Film #14/ Pair #1B: L.A. Confidential
It’s a fun take on police during the Golden Age of Hollywood, with Spacey, Crowe and Pearce having a decent dynamic as different types of cops involved in a major conspiracy that doesn’t reach the depths of Chinatown, but remains kinda fun. Kim Basinger is a standout as a woman who represents the seedy side of Los Angeles.
8/10
Movie #178/ New Movie #100/ 2010s Movie #28/ Competition #1A/ / Pair #4B: Fences
This is an excellent domestic drama, with Denzel Washington’s Troy Maxson fully realized in his flaws and disappointments, and Viola Davis shining as the long-suffering wife wondering when it’s her turn.
9/10
Movie #179/ New Movie #101/ 2010s Movie #29/ Casey Affleck Movie #4: Ain’t Them Bodies Saints
Decent romantic crime drama.
8/10
Movie #180/ New Movie #102/ 2000s Movie #13/ Casey Affleck Movie #5: The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford
It’s a lovely movie, but slow and represents the moment I regretted all the sub-goals even if Casey Affleck and Brad Pitt are solid as the lead characters. It can be a chore to watch.

[IMG]https://whatwouldspideydo.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/midsommar-1.jpg[/IMG]
Every now and then, I’ve participated in challenges to watch 13 horror (or at least horror-adjacent) movies in October, and that’s always fun.
This year, I went with two sub-challenges: five movies produced by Blumhouse, and five films from the Rotten Tomatoes Top 100 horror films.
Movie #181/ New Movie #103/ 2019 Movie #15/ Rotten Tomatoes Top 100 Horror #1: Midsommar
This story about grad students going to a Northern European pagan festival kinda speaks to me as an Estonian-American. The basic story is pretty good, the mythology is well-realized and the story actually says something about grief and mourning.
8/10
Movie #182/New Movie #104/ 2010s Movie #30/ Blumhouse #1: Town That Dreaded Sundown
It’s a strange sequel/ remake, which shows how a town is affected by the publicity behind an actual 1970s horror movie, and the source material of actual grisly murders. Beneath it all is an okay meta-slasher.
7/10
Movie #183/ 2010s Movie #31/ Rotten Tomatoes Top 100 #2: It Follows
It’s probably one of the best concepts for a horror movie in the last decade, setting a well-realized world with characters encountering supernatural forces in an understandable way. The little details and mysteries really help sell a tremendous directorial debut.
9/10
Movie #184/ New Movie #105/ 2020 Movie #10/ Blumhouse #2: You Should Have Left
This straight to video (download) film about a family in a strange house isn’t perfect. The scary house is okay, but could be better realized. Amanda Seyfried (likely to get an Oscar nomination for Mank) is underused. There are some odd decisions in the adaptation (There isn’t much of an explanation about how a middle-aged banker accused of the murder of his first wife got to marry a much younger actress) and at the end, it’s not clear why we should care for the protagonist. It’s a decent showcase for Kevin Bacon as a flawed man encountering the supernatural.
7/10
[IMG]https://whatwouldspideydo.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/robert-wiene-influence-the-cabinet-of-dr.jpg?w=1024[/IMG]
Movie #185/ Silent Movie #11/ Rotten Tomatoes Top 100 #3: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
For a little while, this may have been the best movie ever made. It remains a great example of German expressionism in film. The Kino Blu-ray has a decent restoration, and a decent supplemental documentary on the historical context.
10/10
Movie #186/ 1980s Movie #15/ Rotten Tomatoes Top 100 #4: The Shining
Kubrick’s effort at horror may just be the best cinematic ghost story.
10/10
Movie #187/ New Movie #106/ 1960s Movie #21: The Devil Rides Out
This Hammer picture about a satanic cult is a rare chance to see Christopher Lee play a good guy.
7/10
Movie #188/ New Movie #107/ 2010s Movie #32/ Rotten Tomatoes Top 100 #5: Bone Tomahawk
I’ve heard Sonny Bunch mention this western-horror hybrid a lot, so I was intrigued. It generally works pretty well, establishing a new type of villain in an offshoot Native American tribe that kidnaps settlers on the frontier. High marks to Kurt Russel as a sheriff encountering things beyond his imagination, and Patrick Wilson as the prototypical civilized man forced to sacrifice everything for the possibility of saving his wife.
8/10
[IMG]https://whatwouldspideydo.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/resized_272427-happy-death-day1_23-25840_t800.jpg[/IMG]
Movie #189/New Movie #108/ 2010s Movie #33/ Blumhouse #3: Happy Death Day
I do remain a sucker for time travel, and this film does combine a reasonably inventive college slasher film with a concept that provides for humor and horror, as the victim keeps experiencing her death over and over.
8/10
Movie #190/New Movie #109/ 2010s Movie #34/ Blumhouse #4: Happy Death Day 2 U
The sequel builds on the original in some interesting ways, providing an explanation for the chaos, as well as a world where the lead gets something she really wants. There are some big decisions that I don’t quite accept.
7/10
Movie #191/New Movie #110/ French Film #/ 1970s Movie #17: The Iron Rose
I saw it on a list of best horror movies, so I was intrigued. But this story about a young couple lost in a graveyard at night can be slooooooooow, even if it does occasionally have strong visuals.
6/10
Movie #192/New Movie #111/ 2010s Movie #35/ Blumhouse #5: Unfriended
The gimmick of a found horror film based on video messaging apps has gained relevance post-COVID. It generally uses the format pretty well, and has a decent story about teens forced to reveal secrets (even if it’s pretty clear all the actors are in their twenties) although the final monster isn’t all that convincing.
7/10
Movie #193/ Silent Movie #12/ Rotten Tomatoes Top 100 #6: Nosferatu (BFI Restoration)
The original Dracula adaptation has stunning visuals, and probably the most compelling arc for the young married couple for any of the films. Count Orloc may just be the best cinematic vampire
10/10
