1001 Movies ... my own version (1950's) (90 movies items)" Notes: Eventually, it turned out to be a decent comedy but, to be honest, not much more than that in my opinion. First of all, I saw the damned thing on the BBC without subtitles so I have to admit that I didn’t get all the jokes so maybe if I rewatch it with some subtitles, I might be able to enjoy it more. Still, it was a fun flick with another strong performance by Alec Guinness. Furthermore, I always had a weak spot for the heist genre, especially when the heist is actually quite realist"

Naturally, it all goes sideways as the plan involves twists and turns that lend themselves to chaos. Disguising the purloined gold as Eiffel tower souvenirs is asking for trouble, and that’s exactly what these guys get. These Ealing comedies have a few repeating tics, like contrasting the flirtatious nihilism or polite anarchy of their plots with the staid, stiff upper lip of B” read more
Movies I watched in March 2019 (30 movies items)" Date: 3/6/2019 Viewed: In Class First viewing Note: I'm not a huge fan of British comedies, but this one was pretty good. The humor is pretty funny at times and I like how the movie is divided into 3 segments. Worth checking out if you are into British cinema."
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was included in the ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’ list, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, eventually, it turned out to be a decent comedy but, to be honest, not much more than that in my opinion. First of all, I saw the damned thing on the BBC without subtitles so I have to admit that I didn’t get all the jokes so maybe if I rewatch it with some subtitles, I might be able to enjoy it more. Still, it was a fun flick with another strong performance by Alec Guinness. Furthermore, I always had a weak spot for the heist genre, especially when the heist is actually quite realistic like it was in this case, at least, until the 3rd act. Indeed, at some point, the characters started to chase these little gir” read more
