60/60 Anniversary + Announcement!

I don't know if you've realized this... but today marks the 1-year anniversary of the 60/60. On November 10th, 2010, I posted the review for the first film of this project. I only have a few more reviews until the 60/60 ends, but... there's another coming up! Well, it's the 50/50, anyway. So to honor the anniversary of the first review... what's better than to show you what films I'll be reviewing next year? As I said before, I'll only be doing one review a week for the project next time (no extras). Also, each month is dedicated to a different person's choices. I took those choices, matched them against each other, and came up with the final list. So, dear readers, here is the list of films for next year's 50/50, which will start halfway through January.

  1. Clearly, you're gonna have the most fun during my month. Everyone else picked such downer movies. Besides Nolahn. But mine will still be the most fun. :D
    Can't wait!

  2. Wow, my month is like the old guy's month. One from the '30s, one from the '40s, and two from the '60s. Still, I do really like all those movies.

  3. In retrospect, I should have added more five-hour French movies.

  4. Pretty sweet!

    Though if I were you, I'd switch Scotland, PA and Much Ado About Nothing. Much Ado is a bit more typical storytelling of the play and I'd hate for you to be bored with it because you watched after all the others which are much more imaginative. Just a suggestion, but if you have your reasons for saving it for last, then so be it.

  5. Jason: Indeed.

    Dan: Haha... well, we'll see how I fare!

    Steve: Totally!

    Rachel: Will do. I was thinking of switching one or two anyway, possibly within Joel's month (to put Halloween 4 on actual Halloween).

  6. I have had a hard time commenting on blogger blogs the last couple of weeks.

    I look forward in hearing what you think of Watership Down.

    1. It's funny Joel listed Watership Down, since I mentioned it when we were preparing for my infamously bad appearance on The Demented Podcast.

  8. Dylan - to be fair, I gave him a list of like 8. HE chose those 4.

  9. To be more fair, I believe I just chose the Top 4, since they were ranked.
