So far over the course of this Cinematic Century project we’ve talked about quite a few movies that I have a deep nostalgic affection for. I genuinely love all of the movies that I’ve featured here, but some of them are movies that I’ve only recently come across, […]
The last couple of weeks have maybe featured some strange picks here on this Cinematic Century project. I’ve kind of bucked expectations and really embraced the central idea of this project, choosing my favorite movies of the year, not necessarily the “best” film of any given […]
Last week I eschewed some more obvious picks, a whole bunch of classic sci-fi and fantasy films for the most part, and chose a weird comedy as my favorite film of 1984. It was a hard choice, but I had to go with my heart and pick […]

I’m breaking the trend today, folks! I’ve spent the last few weeks sharing some of the most popular and enduring films of all time with you, massive films that spawned franchises, earning themselves unfathomable amounts of money, and as a result digital ink over the years, making […]
