Nothing like a pandemic / lockdown to go through my list of films to catch up on or revisit...theme started off with Scorsese, veered off to Jane Fonda and continued down a 70’s rabbit hole…quite the eclectic list but some truly classic film history. #lockdownfilms #filmtwitter
diving into 70’s at its gritty best with #MeanStreets and #TaxiDriver with the incredible Robert DeNiro...the brilliant classic #Chinatown and the low key high wattage #TheFrenchConnection ...
... Jane Fonda was truly IT in the 70’s...her presence, her range are second to none.. hard core in #Klute emotional in #ComingHome inquisitive in #TheChinaSyndrome and fearless in #Julia ... 🙇‍♂️
WOW is the only way to describe these monumental classics...each a masterpiece in its own right.. #TheGodfather #TheGodfatherPartII #Alien #ApocalypseNow I can’t even....
What would the 70’s be without some Woody Allen and Robert Altman? Funny, touching, relevant, relatable classics #AnnieHall #Manhattan #MASH #Nashville ...
“Edge of your seat” and “hits close to home” were most certainly a theme in the 70’s... #TheDeerHunter #KramervsKramer #TheConversation #MidnightExpress all left me with both..
Lightness, realness and look back at our youth ran through these films... an excellent Sally Field in #NormaRae a luminous Jill Clayburgh in #AnUnmarriedWoman #AmericanGraffiti #BreakingAway ..
and so while the 80’s beckons, a quick dip into the 60’s with the still astonishing and relevant #TheGraduate and gritty #MidnightCowboy ...so many to watch and revisit...after the hard and brutal 70’s bring on the 80’s comedies ...
Let the fun begin... you can’t beat an 80’s comedy .. #9to5 is pitch perfect comedy gold, #Moonstruck is the family you want to dine with, the ever quotable #WorkingGirl and the comedy treasure #PrivateBenjamin ..they don’t make them like they use to..
Quirky, dark, out there and way ahead of its time... a visual treat and twisted #Beetlejuice darkly truthful #Heathers devilish fun of #TheWitchesofEastwick and the still terrifying future of #TheTerminator ...the 80’s didn’t hold back on originality that’s for sure...
It wouldn’t be the 80’s without Epics and Meryl Streep! The grandeur of #REDS the excessive brutality of #Scarface and an unrivalled career going back to back with #SophiesChoice and #Silkwood ...so many many more to see and revisit...90’s is where is all stated for me and film..
