The Pleasure Garden [1925]
The Pleasure Garden
Alfred Hitchcock
4/6
I have seen Hitchcock, obviously, but I haven’t seen it all. So why not get up to date? And why not do so chronologically, in a non-binging fashion?
I think silent films are absurd, and I’m really struggling with the format. That said, This is probably quite sexy for nineteen-snooze-and-twenty. And surprisingly dark. And a bit #metoo.
The Pleasure Garden isn’t commercially available as far as I could tell, so I watched it on the youtube.
12 O’Clock Boys [2013]
The Canadian Conspiracy [1985]
The Lion King 1½ [2004]

Bradley Raymond
3.3/6
According to the internet, this film is based on Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. Well, I’m not going to tag it as a make/remake, but if I did, it wouldn’t break the pattern methinks, no sir!
Police Academy 6: City Under Siege [1989]
The Fall of the Roman Empire [1964]
The Fall of the Roman Empire
Anthony Mann
1/3
How is it that everybody keep running around going on about what a fantastic actor Alec Guinness is?
I mean, check out this bit of fantastic acting over on the Youtube. Somebody fetch a couple of Oscars! Quickly!
Roma Contro Roma [1964]
The Bourne Identity [2002]
Monster House [2006]

Gil Kenan
4/6
And so, 24 days later, we must come to the inexorable conclusion that where there should have been 31, there were only 8. Not good. So not good, in fact, that it may be time for another Year of Film. Next time there’s a new year, that is. Stay tuned!
