Everyone has movie nights, right?
In the absence of footy on TV, I'm downloading classic films, maybe one a night.
I'm trying to find some I haven't seen but am happy to repeat some of the most enjoyable.
And they are mostly going to be classic/iconic films, so no James Bond, Star Wars or The Hunger Games.
I couldn't remember whether I'd seen The Shawshank Redemption but after just a few minutes on Sunday I realised I had. But it's such an excellent movie that I watched it again.
Monday was an all-time favourite, 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Yesterday I revisited The Matrix; some time since I saw that. And maybe I'll re-watch the sequels.
Tonight it will be The Godfather.
My friend Tony recommended The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Doesn't sound like my kind if film but I'll give it a go.
A few days ago, I started Forrest Gump, having avoided it until now. I really struggled with it but I should persist, I think.
Here's a few I'm considering (not in any particular order). Suggestions are very welcome!
Citizen Kane
Dr Strangelove
Vertigo
The French Connection
Rosemary's Baby
The Dark Knight
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Amadeus
Parasite
No Country For Old Men
The Departed
Green Book
There are also plenty of TV series I haven't watched. But that's for another time.
