I have now watched 49 films that were released in 1968. A complete list can be found here. I felt that my experiment with reducing the number of movies worked out well. There were only 12 movies that I ranked 9/10 or above. I’m listing them all in alphabetical order since I wouldn’t want to rank them.
Black Cat (Kuroneko) – Directed by Kaneto Shindo.
Faces – Directed by John Cassavetes
Funny Girl – Directed by William Wyler
The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter – Directed by Robert Ellis Miller
If … – Directed by Lindsay Anderson
The Lion in Winter – Directed by Anthony Harvey
Memories of Underdevelopment (Memorias de subdesarrollo) – Directed by Tomas Gutierrez Alea
Monterey Pop – Directed by D.A. Pennebecker
Night of the Living Dead – Directed by George A. Romero
Once Upon a Time in the West (C’era una vola al West) – Directed by Sergio Leone
Rosemary’s Baby – Directed by Roman Polanski
Shame (Skammen) – Directed by Ingmar Bergman
Very nice picks. My favourites are there, so no complaints from me. Congratulations on finishing 68.
Stay safe.
You stay safe as well. In Denmark do people do stuff like buy out every roll of toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and face masks they can get their hands on? Are the grocery store shelves empty? If not, I want to move there. Also, you don’t have Trump. Is your little boy able to go to school?
Thank you and you stay safe too.
There was a level of hoarding Wednesday when the lockdown was announced, with people fighting over toilet paper!!!??? Seriously, if you need that much toilet paper maybe you should go see the doctor anyway. Now the shelves are full again and it is business as usual in the shops. Everywhere else it is empty. People take the decree not to gather in groups very seriously and children are staying home from school. We really don’t want those scenes from Italy to play out here. Those are just horrible. At this point volunteers are signing up at the hospitals to be ready, but only twenty-some people has been hospitalised. Things develop by the hour though and who knows where we are in a week.
I heard that Trump is finally taking care it somewhat serious (and blames Europe to the outbreak). I just hope it is not too late to avoid a disaster.
Oh, he blamed China before he blamed Europe … Anything that will distract from the 2-3 week delay in getting serious. I hate this so much.
