1001 Movies ... my own version (1920's) (86 movies items)

" Notes: Even though I did like the damned thing, to be honest, it didn’t completely win me over though. Above all, in my opinion, the whole thing was rather messy. The best example would be the very first scene. Indeed, it felt as if they skipped something as none of the characters were properly introduced. I mean, who was Lulu? Where did she come from? How did she end up in this apartment? Who were all these guys trying to get her attention? After that, a lot of things did happen to her (she"

A classic

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it seemed to have a decent reputation (it is included in the ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’ list, among other things), I was quite eager to check it out. Well, even though I did like the damned thing, to be honest, it didn’t completely win me over though. Above all, in my opinion, the whole thing was rather messy.

After that, a lot of things did happen to her (she even ended up in the arms of Jack the Ripper) but, at the same time, ” read more

100 & 99 Of My Favorite Movies of All Time (199 movies items)

" While I've always had an interest in movies from all eras, including those from the silent era, recently, for some inexplicable reason, I seem to have really developed a fascination for those works that were produced during the Age of Jazz.

Movies I Watched in April 2021 (39 movies items)

" Date: 4/29/2021 Viewed: Criterion Re-watch Note: I haven't watched Pandora's Box since I was in High School and I remember liking it. After watching it again on the Criterion Channel, it holds up very well, Pandora's Box is a masterpiece in my opinion. I don't know where to begin with this movie because everything about it is fantastic. I love Louise Brooks as Lulu, and she is so lovely to watch on screen. Pandora's Box has the best pacing for a 2-hour movie because it goes by so quickly. Y"
