I've been tagged by fellow blogger Ibetolis at the excellent blog Film for the Soul to do the A-Z Movie Meme started by Blog Cabins. Premise is simple, just list a good film that starts with each letter of the alphabet. There are some crazy rules to follow, but I like to throw rules out the window on this blog, so I'm doing my own thing, see? I'm trying to either chose films that I'm interested in or really like right now to match with each letter.
Thanks Ibetolis!

Raquel,
ReplyDeleteGosh that's a list! And most of your choices are white spots on my map. I have a lot to learn here! :)
Good News! June Allyson! Yay!Have you seen the 1930 version?
There you have it. The sole reason why I tag you every time I get one of these meme's, I can always expect something unique, bold and classic.
ReplyDeleteEast of Eden, All That Heaven Allows, Father of the Bride, Metropolis, Madame X and Out of the Past (naturally) are inspired choices.
Great list and thanks for the shout.
Jezebel is one of those movies that I can't not watch when it's on. It's so over the top, but so entertaining.
ReplyDeleteI agree with The Women 100%! It is such an amazing film and its still so funny. Not to mention it came out during the best film year ever: 1939. Why did they feel the need to remake such a perfect film? Sometimes I think Hollywood will never learn that some films just can't be remade.
ReplyDeleteSome great choices, and you cover a lot of deacades. "Out of the Past" hmm, sounds familiar. Would make a good blog title.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! :) Almost all of the films are pre-1970 as well. Very awesome! :D
ReplyDeleteJonas - Thanks! I have only seen clips of the 1930 version and it looked good. Have you seen it?
ReplyDeleteIbetolis - Thank you so much for tagging me. I'm glad you liked my choices. I'm looking forward to the next tag.
Princess - I totally agree Jezebel - over the top.
Genevieve - Check out my review of the new version of The Women: http://outofthepastcfb.blogspot.com/2008/10/jungle-red.html
Jacqueline - Thanks. Unfortunately, someone thought so too and I might have a copycat on my tail. I can't complain. There is a noir podcast blog by the same name too.
C. Philips - I struggled with "V" I was trying to make everything pre 1970s. I almost made it!
