Catching up on a Monday
September 29th, 2008 by Bill
I get busier as the week goes along with it peaking on Friday and Saturday, so I’ve fallen a bit behind in tracking the Top Ten films of 1968 over at Britannica Blog. Last Thursday it was Truffaut’s Stolen Kisses, a movie I can’t comment on having never seen it. Yes, I’ve been remiss. But if nothing else, this list is pointing out movies I need to see, and look forward to seeing.
On Friday, it was Planet of the Apes coming in at number 6. Not only did I see the movie when it came out (and liked it), I picked up the DVD when it came out a few years back - I even reviewed it (though some of what I say may be a bit wrong-headed).
Today, coming in at number 5, it’s Yellow Submarine. As I commented over on Britannica, I saw this years ago, have seen it in bits and pieces over the years, and have never been able to get enthusiastic about it. Sorry, but I’ve just never liked it. However, since it was so long ago that I saw the full movie, it may be time to watch it completely again and reassess it.
Who knows? I may come to enjoy it.
