Shaun of the Dead, 2004 Shaun of the Dead [Blu-ray] Ugh a zombie stoner Comedy. Gross! After having watched the movie: (Possible spoilers below) Sometimes I think my friends put suggestions on the list as a way to get back at me for not going to the movies with them or something just as silly. For the record, I can't stand any of the Cheech and Chong movies, and I don't know how I'm really

Mystery Science Theater 3000, 1988 Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (Widescreen) It wasn't until I started dating The Boyfriend that I had ever heard about Mystery Science Theater 3K. I think the day I told him I had no idea what a Mystery Science Theater was we watch Manos the Hands of Fate episode. After that I was hooked, and it was a no brainer that I had to add this movie to the

Raiders of the Lost Ark, 1981 Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (Special Edition) I wish I could have watched this movie as a kid, more specifically as an eight year old boy or forty year old man. I guess if you're going to go with the male aspect, you don't really need to specify an age. Either way, it's the perfect adventure movie for a little kid. I'm assuming this isn't big

Anatomy of a Murder, 1959 Anatomy of a Murder For 1959 this movie has a lot of things going up against it. The movie was originally banned in Chicago and James Stewart's father took out an ad calling the movie, "a dirty picture" warning people not to see the picture. A lot of the controversy surrounding the movie was because of the language with words like, "bitch," "contraceptive," "panties

The Wild Bunch, 1969 The Wild Bunch - The Original Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition) My Grams watched almost every Western when she was growing up. It was a thing she did with her Grandpa and even my Grandpa's family made a big to-do about watching and listening to Westerns on the radio. I don't get it, I've never really been interested in the genera. So it makes sense that when I

The Hours, 2002 The Hours I can't remember who recommended this movie to me, but so help me if I ever remember they're going to get an ear full! This was one of the driest movies I've watched throughout the 365 Movie Challenge. Okay, driest might be too extreme, I did watch 8 1/2 earlier this year. Only, The Hours isn't foreign and has Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore so I need to hear from

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, 1967 Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (40th Anniversary Edition) I didn't realize until long after watching the movie that it's star Spencer Tracy was so ill during production of the film. It's rather incredible that he was able to make it through production, for those who aren't familiar with production a standard day is twelve hours. It would also turn out to be

Changeling, 2008 Changeling I was really excited to sit down and watch this movie, and I've felt like I've bee trying to speed through so many movies just to get back on track before the 365 Movie Challenge gets out of hand that sometimes I've missed out on really being able to just sit down and enjoy a movie. This one, I don't know how but I felt like I was able to just sit down and relax

What Dreams May Come, 1998 What Dreams May Come With a title like 'What Dreams May Come,' I have high hopes for this movie. After having watched the movie: (Possible spoilers below) I wish there was more I could say about what I had wanted this movie to be for me before I had watched it. I remember plaining telling my Grams, "I have to watch What Dreams May Come if you want to

Love Actually, 2003 Love Actually (Widescreen Edition) This was another gifted movie to The Boyfriend from my Grandparents. I'm not sure how he's going to feel about me sharing that but if it's already done then there's really no going back. He and my friends had promised me it was a good Romantic Comedy, which it seems these days are a little hard to come by. After having watched the movie:

Trainspotting, 1996 Trainspotting - Director's Cut (Collector's Edition) So after spending what seemed like the longest holiday in Arizona, this was the first movie I got to watch with The Boyfriend when he returned home. Okay, maybe saying it like that makes it seem like this is what we did together after being apart for almost two weeks. We only watched the movie after catching up on

The Searchers, 1956 John Wayne: The Searchers Eh, Westerns. I think they fall just above Anime, Stoner-Comedies, and zombie movies. I know a lot of kids who assume any movie that is black and white, isn't really worth watching because it's old. Westerns kind of register similarly with me. While they are something I associate with the 1950s, and I think it's a bit of a dead genera I fail to

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, 1966 Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (Two-Disc Special Edition) In my mind I've built this movie up to be something to see similar to what I had done in regards to A Streetcar Named Desire. After having watched the movie: (Possible spoilers below) I don't what my problem is, but if this movie and A Streetcar Named Desire has taught me anything, it's to stop

The Wrestler, 2008 The Wrestler I've intentionally put off watching this movie until now, know that really you can only watch so many older movies before you just need a break from it to watch something modern. It was also a movie that although I knew little about, I thought my Grandpa would really get into. After watching the movie: (Possible spoilers below) I didn't realize it at

Rosemary's Baby, 1986 Rosemary's Baby First and foremost I should acknowledge that this was a book first and a movie second. It's also one of the books that I wasn't really too interested in reading before watching the movie. I mean, I guess if I had it just sitting around in my apartment then I would have read it first but that clearly wasn't the case. It's also a movie that I have

The Princess and the Warrior, 2000 The Princess and the Warrior I've been watching a lot of movies with my Grandparents lately, and it has me a little worried that I'm going to be left with all of these foreign movies to watch once they go back to Ohio for the winter months. Obviously, I'm not against foreign movies it's just that foreign films are a specific genera to me and I don't want to

Lawrence of Arabia Lawrence of Arabia (Single Disc Edition) I don't know what really made me pick this movie so early on from Netflix. It would turn out to probably be one of the biggest mistakes I've made in the 365 Movie Challenge, not trying to watch the movie but picking a movie I wasn't really ready to watch at the time. I knew this was going to be a movie of epic proportions, but I guess

It's A Wonderful Life, 1946 It's a Wonderful Life (60th Anniversary Edition) I can't believe there's another movie that's part of the 365 Movie Challenge that stars James Stewart. I know I just brought it up with Natalie Wood and Miracle on 34th Street, but when I finally get caught up I'm going to make a list to see which actor is in more movies than any other actor on my list. At this

Batman, 1989 Batman Collection: 4 Film Favorites (Batman 1989 / Batman Returns / Batman Forever / Batman & Robin) I never really pre-planned a time when I wanted to watch this movie, but ideally I wanted to watch it between June 15 when I started the challenge and January of the new year so I could finally watch The Dark Knight on the anniversary of Heath Ledger's death. Don't judge me,

Miracle on 34th Street, 1947 Miracle on 34th Street I knew when I was kind of mapping out certain movies to watch when I started the 365 Movie Challenge that I would watch this as well as It's A Wonderful Life around Christmas, which had only seemed natural to me. I also knew that if I were going to watch this movie, I needed to see the original movie from 1947 and not the one remade in the

Annie Hall, 1977 Annie Hall I typically like Woody Allen movies, and with Annie Hall being considered one of the best in it's genera I'm a little excited about watching the movie. I don't think this is going to be one of the movies that my Grandparents really like though, as they're not big fans of Woody Allen. After having watched the movie: (Possible spoilers below) When I say that

Pride of the Yankees, 1942 The Pride of the Yankees (Collector's Edition) This was another movie that I hadn't really planned to watch until spring training started in the spring, but because I was really starting to feel the pressure to pick up the pace I decided to watch the movie earlier than I had originally planned. The pressure really started to intensify around Christmas when I was

Citizen Kane, 1941 Citizen Kane (Two-Disc Special Edition) Having gone to film school it should go without saying that I've heard probably more about this movie than I would have ever cared to; I had even long suspected that the movie was overrated. Oh and I shouldn't forget to mention that it was in my sophomore year of high school that I learned about the similarities between Orson Welles

Lost in Translation, 2003 Lost in Translation This seems to be one of those movies that I think only a few of your friends have really ever seen and it some how managed to go under the radar. I really like Bill Murray and I generally like the majority of the things Scarlett Johansson is in, so even though I never really expected anything from this movie I really don't know what I had exected

Saving Private Ryan, 1998 Saving Private Ryan (Special Limited Edition) I can't tell you how many times I've started to watch this movie, only to get bored by the time the group of men make it to the city where they find the little girl. And a lot of it really wasn't that I was bored as much as it was that it was one of the movies that my cousin would watch on a loop. I'm talking every day
