It really has been a fascinating experience watching the ebbs and flows of cinema during the course of this project. Last week I was tasked with picking a favorite film of 2007, a year that contains three of my favorite films of all time, leading to a […]
Over the course of the dozens of Cinematic Century posts that I’ve made, I’ve have had to make some really tough calls. The whole point of these articles is to select a favorite film from every year, which sometimes means pitting several movies that could possibly claim […]
Note: This article more or less ran as an installment of Film Library, because it seemed ridiculous to write a similarly structured article about the same movie twice. Only once before during this Cinematic Century project was I compelled to be a tad lazy, and more […]
