Catching Up on Classic Movies
I’ve long meant to start watching classic and award winning movies that I’ve never seen. In college, one of my favorite courses was a Film Studies class. We watched movies such as "Stagecoach", "Dead Man" and "Seven Samurai" - introducing me to film as an art form, famous directors such as Jim Jarmusch that I became a big fan of, and looking at cinematography with a more critical eye.
My goal with this list of films is to share my perspective on each film, create a regular flow of blogging and writing (always good), and perhaps expose others to films they've never watched.
Below is the list:
