Right, er, 73 is good enough.

So the last month got increasing crazy in terms of busy schedule, so I fell drastically behind. But considering that I really did watch 73 flicks I haven't seen, I'm fairly pleased! I'll list everything I wrote down, but I'm sure there are a few I left out anyway.

49. Notorious Betty Page                                                       62. Butterfield 8

50. Before Sunrise                                                                 63. Tales from Earthsea

51. The Hours                                                                        64. Biutiful

52. Cedar Rapids                                                                   65. Priceless

53. Importance of Being Earnest                                           66. Wet Hot American Summer

54. Sabrina (1995)                                                                  67. Call Northside 77

55. Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2                         68. High Sierra

56. Cowboys & Aliens                                                            69. Joe's Apartment

57. Oscar & Lucinda                                                              70. Our Idiot Brother

58. Volver                                                                              71. King of the Underworld

59. The Hit (1984)                                                                   72. Muriel's Wedding

60. Captain America                                                              73. The Big Combo

61. Malena                                                                               

Of this list, a few stood out. I finished off with a few film noirs, which were all really good. The Big Combo's photography by the legendary John Alton was amazing and a movie I haven't been able to get my hands on until now. I recommend it for any noir fan! Joe's Apartment isn't the greatest of films, but it's use of good CGI for quirky cockroaches, with a 90s MTV flair on the Pee-Wee Herman show, it's an interesting flick. The Hit starring Terrence Stamp, John Hurt and Tim Roth is a road neo-noir with stunning use of color and framing. It still holds up today as edgy and fresh. If I'm in the mood I might make entire post about it. It was everything I love in a film, with a bizarre ending to top it all off. And of course Biutiful was a unique film that combined gritty, street-underworld of Barcelona with the occasional surreal mind-trip of a man whose health is deteriorating. Watch them!
