Every year is a great year for discovery as a classic film fan. Inevitably, my list of favorites only grows longer (and more difficult to rank) as I explore the filmographies of my favorite stars, writers, and directors — and discover new obsessions. To keep things simple, I’ve narrowed my list of favorite discoveries in 2018 down to twenty films. Without further ado… A Matter … Continue reading 2018 in Film: Most Memorable Discoveries

November was a weird month. The bulk of my viewing came from a Twilight marathon weekend with my sister and an enormous collection of Christmas movies watched with the family over Thanksgiving. In a genuinely heartbreaking turn of events, work kept me too busy to make the best of my final month of FilmStruck; I barely made a dent in my queue and what I … Continue reading November 2018 in Film

In this installment of “Lindsey apologizes for being a delinquent viewer and absent blogger”… You guessed it, another tiny viewing month for TMP! Working several jobs is no joke, y’all. I’m trying to schedule my time more wisely and hopefully make room for plenty of spooky viewing in October, but before we get to that, a look back at a miniature movie month. New-to-me viewings: … Continue reading September 2018 in Film

I’ve had a lot of lackluster viewing months this year, but I think July takes the cake. While I enjoyed everything I watched, I didn’t watch a single classic film! I went to the theater a few times and had a couple of movie nights with my sister, but not a whole lot of time was dedicated to film this month. It’s been a stressful … Continue reading July 2018 in Film
Happy July! July brings sweltering temperatures, fireworks, lots of trips to the ice cream shop, and my birthday! But before we have fun with any of that, let’s take a look back at what was watched in June. June was one of my better viewing months of 2018 so far, numbers-wise. I almost made it to 20 viewings, which (sadly) has become greater than the … Continue reading June 2018 in Film
May was another small viewing month ’round these parts, and I completely forgot that today was the first of the month, so I apologize for this post going up so late! (As I type this, there are just 40 minutes left in the day.) Though the time I was able to carve out for viewing in May was pretty minimal, I still wanted to share … Continue reading May 2018 in Film
