Humphrey Bogart
66 titles |
Public
He's been my favorite actor since the first time I saw Casablanca when I was a kid in the 1970s. Over the years I've seen a lot of his films, and I'm amazed at how good so many of them are, even today when I've seen so many of them that I feel I should be scraping the bottom of the barrel. The last one I saw that I've never seen before was Chain Lightning, and I found it gripping and fun, not at all boring or average. Here's a list of every Bogart film I've seen.
My favorite movies ... by year!

This is a work in progress, listing my favorite movies year by year starting with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. If some years have two (or more) listings, it means I can't decide which is my favorite.
Ba-ba-ba Ba-Barbara Stanwyck!
39 titles |
Public
Barbara Stanwyck is another one of my favorites! I know I'm supposed to pick Double Indemnity as her best (and it probably is) but my favorite is ... Night Nurse! However some of her early films (and some of her later ones, sad to say!) are kind of hard to tell apart when you haven't seen them for a while. So I made this list of all the Barbara Stanwyck movies I've seen to help me keep track.
The Incomparable Bette Davis

Boy, do I love Bette Davis! I've seen Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? a bunch of times over the years, and there's quite a few of her movies that I've seen three to five times, like Jezebel, All About Eve and Petrified Forest. And then there's the 1930s newspaper thriller Front-Page Woman! Nobody seems to know about it, but I love it and I've seen it a bunch of times after I taped it off cable back in the 1990s!
I find her filmography to be very reliable. I always feel pretty confident when I see something listed on TCM and it has her name in the cast. They aren't all great classics, of course, and sometimes she doesn't have a very big part. But all but a handful of her movies are entertaining and worth watching, and it's amazing how many of them are classics of the Golden Age of Hollywood.
I decided to make a list of all the Bette Davis movies I've ever seen.
The Films of Michael Curtiz
34 titles |
Public
My favorite director is probably Akira Kurosawa, but I think I'm probably more fascinated by Michael Curtiz. He was a studio director in Hollywood's Golden Age, so he cranked out a lot of fluff, but it is some really incredible fluff. He made a variety of films and I think it's amazing how good he was at almost every type of film he tackled. Anyway, I'm putting together a list of the Curtiz films I've seen just to help me keep track. Michael Curtiz: Great studio director or greatest studio director?
Archibald Leach

For the last nine months or so, I've been on the lookout for Cary Grant movies I haven't seen and, added to the many I'd already seen, I've accumulated a lot of Cary Grant's filmography. It hasn't been quite as fulfilling as watching so many of the films of Bela Lugosi or Humphrey Bogart, but there's still A LOT of great Cary Grant movies. For the record, my favorite Cary Grant movie is ... either The Awful Truth or Suspicion. I can never decide between them.
What's so great about Bela Lugosi

My earliest movie memory is watching The Son of Frankenstein when I was five years old. So Bela and I go way back. I've been watching Bela's movies for more than forty years, so I decided it was time to make a list of all the Bela Lugosi movies I've ever seen
The Greatest Movies in the World!

This is a list of every country from which I've seen at least one movie. And I'll be representing every country with my favorite movie from that country's national cinema. I'll also try to say a few words about whether or not I've seen enough movies from that country to have an opinion that's worth very much.
