The Godfather Date Watched:  1/4/25 Format:  Streaming on TV via Fandango at Home Directing  (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): Writing  (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): Acting  (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): Wildcard  (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): The OG.  I loved Part II, but this film set the standard for everything to come.

Movie #76: The Godfather Part II

The Godfather Part II Date Watched:  1/1/25 Format:  Streaming on TV via Fandango at Home Directing  (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): Writing  (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): Acting  (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): Wildcard  (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): Two in one.  I have always been back in forth on this one.  Does the two stories combined into one take away or add to the entire film.  In the end, I have settled on it being a positive.  Yes, it does take away some of the tension but I actually think it makes Part II as stand alone film which can be watched independent of the original.  Since I did watch Part II first as part of my goal, it has reenforced my belief. Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda : Chinatown was very good and could have won many other years but not this one.  Academy got it right.  Although, they wouldn't win, I do have a special shoutout for Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Ranking: 1) Casablanca (Movie #64) 20⭐ 2) Schindler's List (Movie #36) 20⭐ 3) The Godfather Part II (Movie #76) 20⭐ 4) F...

Movie #75: An American in Paris

An American in Paris Date Watched:  12/30/24 Format:  Streaming on TV via Fandango at Home Directing  (⭐⭐⭐): Writing  (⭐⭐): Acting  (⭐⭐⭐⭐): Wildcard  (⭐⭐⭐): Artists being artists.  I like a cast of dancers and singers would try to act and not the other way around. Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda : Tough to give this one the win.  Streetcar probably or even the African Queen. Ranking: 1) Casablanca (Movie #64) 20⭐ 2) Schindler's List (Movie #36) 20⭐ 3) Forrest Gump (Movie #5) 20⭐ 4) The Silence of the Lambs (Movie #37) 18⭐ 5) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Movie #44) 18⭐ 6) Platoon (Movie #17) 17⭐ 7) No Country For Old Men (Movie #74) 17⭐ 8) Gladiator (Movie #11) 17⭐ 9) Gone with the Wind (Movie #1) 17⭐ 10) CODA (Movie #57) 17⭐ 11) All About Eve (Movie #68) 17⭐ 12) Parasite (Movie #45) 17⭐ 13) The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Movie #50) 16⭐ 14) Braveheart (Movie #52) 16⭐ 15) The Departed (Movie #66) 16⭐ 16) Spotlight (Movie #24) 16⭐ 17) On ...
