I can't possibly pick favorites from this list. So random thoughts, instead:

🩵 Up is my favorite movie ever. It warms my icy heart. I cry 3 times during it to this day.
🩵 Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of my favorite actors. I'm so sad he died so young.
🩵 When Pulp Fiction came out, our local art theatre showed it during their Oscar series, and a bunch of elderly ladies who were regulars walked out in disgust. 🤣🫠

dabbe I gulp-sob snot out of my nose every time I watch the opening of UP! 😭 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵💙🩵 2d
dabbe Fab score, too! 🤩🤩🤩 2d
lil1inblue @dabbe Yeah, the opening scene is definitely an ugly cry for me, too. 😭 And the score is because the era covers my high school years, when I had a crush on a boy who wanted to become Stanley Kubrick. 😂 He broke my teenaged heart, but he also introduced me to so many good films! 😉 2d
dabbe @lil1inblue At least one good thing came out of it! 🤗 2d

I think I missed the other two Oscar Nom list posts, so I‘ve done all three just now. Ive seen a total of 17, with 1963-1987 being my best at 10. But, the early years have some of my favorite movies ever - Gaslight, To Kill a Mockingbird, Captain Blood (OMG, Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone, AND Olivia de Havilland?? HEAVEN!), Adventures of Robin Hood, and Philadelphia Story (KATE!!). This was fun @dabbe Thank you. #threelistthursday #tlt

dabbe YW! A wee trip down memory lane! GASLIGHT is one of my top faves of all time! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🎬🍿📽️ 1w

This was a good list! It was hard to pick favorites. I picked these because of good memories of watching them with friends in high school.
🩵 Broadcast News (I really like Albert Brooks, btw)
🩵 Dr. Strangelove
🩵 Barry Lyndon
One that I can't believe I still haven't seen:
🩵 M.A.S.H.

Thanks for the tag, @Eggs

BooksandCoffee4Me 30% but how fun to be reminded of the movies “Heaven Can Wait” and “Goodbye Girl!” 💛 1w
BooksandCoffee4Me @Lesliereadsalot Wow! “Coming Home” was so intense — how did seeing it so many times in two weeks affect you emotionally? 1w
DGRachel LOL. I‘ve heard of a ton of these but have only watched 10. Clearly, I dislike Academy Award winners as much as I dislike fancy book award winners. 🤣🤣 1w

Lesliereadsalot I really had been oblivious to the Vietnam War and after seeing Coming Home the first time, I couldn‘t believe the war was going on around me and I felt compelled to see it over and over. I didn‘t know anybody who went to Vietnam, my parents never discussed it, it was so foreign to me. I‘ve never before or since felt so intensely about a movie. Totally blew me away! @BooksandCoffee4Me 1w
dabbe @Lesliereadsalot Thanks for sharing that. I was oblivious, too, and still have so much to learn about that tumultuous period. I never saw COMING HOME (added to my TBW list now) but BORN ON THE 4TH OF JULY at least made me more aware. That and GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM. The humor helped. 😊 1w
BooksandCoffee4Me @Lesliereadsalot @dabbe I‘ve made a point of sincerely thanking veterans for serving. Saw a biker wearing a Viet Nam Vet jacket and stopped where he was and thanked him. He teared up and looked so surprised. They received so little when they returned. It shouldn‘t have taken a decade or two to thank them with the wall. I was in middle school during the war and now have known many Nam vets. Most do not want to share their stories. 1w
dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me They bravely did their job and received nothing but hatred from most of us. Shameful. 😞 1w
Lesliereadsalot Very shameful! Our boys did not belong there. I‘ve seen all the Vietnam movies but Coming Home made the biggest impression as it‘s about the soldiers when they got back. You have to imagine what it was like for them and it‘s not a pretty picture. You guys are very thoughtful! @dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me 🩷🩷 1w

peaKnit 26! I have rewatched All The President‘s Men so many times I should count it twice! :) and on Golden Pond, such sweet memories watching this one. 🥰 1w
dabbe @Lesliereadsalot So are you! 🩵💙🩵 1w
dabbe @peaKnit #ditto feelings on both of your choices. I've just reread and rewatched ALL THE PRESIDENT'S to bring me comfort in this chaotic mess of a country we're currently living in. As @AmyG put it, Goldberg is our Woodward & Bernstein. 👊🏻 1w
peaKnit Amen! 1w
TheLudicReader 53/100. Did you know Children of a Lesser God was filmed in my hometown? Fun fact! So many flicks I love on that list but also so many flicks I am now too old to accurately remember whether I *actually* saw them or not. 🤣 1w
dabbe @TheLudicReader How cool is that? Is your hometown not St. John? I loved that movie, though I read that Hurt was an unbelievable jerk to Marlee Matlin while in a relationship with her. And I say if you wondered, you saw it! Thanks for playing and sharing. 📽️🍿🎬 7d
TheLudicReader @dabbe, I am not sure I understand your question about St. John. 🤣 My hometown is Saint John (as you know). St. John's is in Newfoundland. But Children of a Lesser God was filmed here in the 80s. 7d
dabbe @TheLudicReader I learn something new every day. 😊 I had no idea that St. was always spelled out. Now I know, thanks to you! I guess it threw me when you said just “hometown“, so I thought that maybe you grew up somewhere else in Canada besides Saint John. No excuse for me not knowing--except that I am more forgetful these days. (edited) 7d

Apparently #FridayFilms isn't already a thing. I plan to watch Ingmar Bergman's Nattvardsgästerna (usually called 'Winter Light' or 'The Communicants' in the US) tonight with my adult daughter.

Absolutely devastated and heartbroken to learn that David Lynch, wonderful director, writer, film maker and artist extraordinaire, passed away yesterday.
He remains my favourite director and greatest inspiration. He will be greatly missed.

🌲☕ RIP David. Go on and explore the secrets of afterlife for us! ☕🌲

Yuki_Onna Along with Mark Frost, he was also the creator and director of Twin Peaks.
#TwinPeaksReadingChallenge exists only because of the dreamscapes & universe he created.
