Happy #Noirvember 2024 to all! That’s it. We’ve reached that time of the year when cinephiles can finally celebrate ad-nauseam and without shame, the art of films noirs! The concept of Noirvember, making November the official month of films noirs, was created by film critic Marya E. Gate read more

Unless you’re very new to this blog, you know that Alfred Hitchcock is my favourite movie director and has been for a long time. There’s something so unique to his films and their delivery that I can’t compare with any other director’s style, and that’s why his work is read more

I’m back! It’s been a while! First, let me take the occasion to wish you all a very happy new year, 2024! I also hope you had a lovely Christmas if you were celebrating. As indicated by this article’s title, I’m back to continuing this tradition of presenting the best films I read more

Oscar season is ending tonight as we are finally reaching the award ceremony! I don’t know if I’d be able to watch them (I hope yes), but regardless, it’s an occasion to go back on this blog since it’s been a long time. And now that I forgot to cancel my Grammarly subscriptio read more

Happy New Year to all! I’m taking a little break from the Ealing Comedies Blog Series because, as the year 2022 recently ended, it’s time for me to do a recap of my favourite films watched that year! So, for the occasion, I’ve decided to go with a top 20. I’ve spent long peri read more

I always found myself deeply fortunate to share my birthday with the wonderful and sparkling Doris Day, who wasn’t only a great singer but also a brilliant (and underrated) actress. And overall, she’s someone who constantly brings joy to my life. Listening to Doris Day music or watching read more

Earlier this week, the Academy of Motion Pictures and Science announced the finalists for the 94th edition of the Academy Awards. Congratulations to all the nominees! For the occasion, I thought it would be fun to make a top list connected to the Oscars. In the past, I’ve presented you a list read more

Earlier today, I confirmed, thanks to Letterboxd (the social network of cinephiles), that I had seen a total of 199 new-to-me films in 2021. Not bad! That included fiction films, documentaries, short, medium-length and feature films. I might have forgotten to register some. I don’t know. So, l read more

In 2016 and 2019, I used my blogging platform to give people ideas of films to watch during the Halloween season. I’ve decided to repeat the concept this year as I always love writing these blog posts. Plus, I’m killing two birds with one stone by making this an entry for Kristen’s read more

Last Friday, some film buffs like me honoured what would have been Alfred Hitchcock’s 121st birthday. The British director, born on August 13, 1899, undeniably had one of the most prolific careers in the entertainment industry and revolutionized the art of films forever. Since I have seen 49 read more

Today marks what would have been the 102nd birthday of my second most favourite actor, the one and only Golden Boy; William Holden! As you know, I’ve hosted a blogathon in his honour for four consecutive years. Sadly, I am not able to make it this year due to being  very busy with my master t read more

Today, the prolific film music composer John Williams turns 88. To celebrate him, I’ve decided to share with you my 15 most favourite film scores composed by him. I believe that even if you aren’t into films, you are surely familiar with at least one of his compositions. Some of his the read more

Hello, dear Film Noir addicts (or not)! We’re now half-way through #Noirvember and, so far, I have only published one blog post for the occasion that you can read here. The other day on Letterboxd I made a list of all the films noirs I had seen so far and came to realize it was more than 100! read more

Happy Halloween to all! Three years ago, I did a little top 20 of my favourite films to watch on October 31st. I thought it would be fun to do another list because I have discovered more films in the past three years. Instead of doing a top list, I’m going to present these films in chronologic read more

If I could name one actress that I found totally intriguing, Joan Bennett’s name would probably at the top of my head. This might be because she is not the most famous or talked about star of the Golden age of Hollywood, so there’s sort of an aura of mystery around her. In the 30s, she read more

Here I am again, with another top list! But that’s not an ordinary one. Three years ago, I presented you a top 100 of my most favourite actors and, today, I’ve decided to do the same exercise because, obviously, in three years, tastes change. I discovered new actors. When I completed my read more

Today, the highly celebrated movie director Frank Capra would have been 122 years old! For the occasion, I thought, what would be a better way to pay him tribute than with a top list of my favorite films of his?! I liked the idea of the top 5 format that we did for the Five Favourite Films of the F read more

Happy National Classic Movie Day to all! Today, for the occasion, Rick from Classic Film & TV Café is hosting the 5 Favorite Films of the 50s Blogathon. I don’t think I need to explain further what it’s all about! The 50s being one of my top favorite decades in cinema history, I was read more

Oh, Hitchcock, good old Hitchcock. What would be The Wonderful World of Cinema without any discussions about his films? Well, it’s been a long time since we didn’t have one and Maddy’s Third Hitchcock Blogathon that she is hosting on her blog Maddy Loves Her Classic Films seems to read more

Island at the Top of the World ( 1975 ) was another fun Disney adventure film of the 1970s....not quite in league with such classics as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, but it had a nice steampunk style to it anyway.  This dirigible was designed by Peter Ellenshaw ( the famous matte artist ) and a read more
