Movies the giraffe watched in 2022: March (28 movies items)"First viewing - March 12th HBO Max I enjoyed the way this film is constructed, its structure, the narration, & some of the shots are impressive. The cast is excellent all around, & it's a refreshingly honest meditation on falling in love with someone at the wrong time. I was hooked from the start & I'm glad I finally watched it."

1001 Movies ... my own version (1940's) (71 movies items)" Notes: I have to admit that I'm more familiar with David Lean's later work, composed of great epic adventures such as 'Doctor Zhivago', 'Lawrence of Arabia' or 'The Bridge on the River Kwai'. Here, it was something quite different entirely, in fact, it was the complete opposite. Indeed, it was in black and white and it was dealing only with two characters, a man and a woman dealing with some rather mundane predicament. However, if the scale was smaller, the whole thing was nonetheless quite fa"
