Visit my other blog, Citizen Screenings for more film commentary of the “simply a fan” variety. There, I rant and rave on more modern movie fare, actors, directors – those I consider post-classics by virtue of era alone. We’ve been offered, as movie fans, some damn fine filmmaking from the late 1960s through today that are classics by anyone’s standards – but to me, classics of a different color.
Some examples – a few of my favorites…
Film entertainment doesn’t come only from films that are considered “classics,” however, either by the masses or just a few. There are plenty of guilty pleasures that are as enjoyable, unforgettable and important from my perspective. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason as to why one loves a film. What’s fun to watch is fun to watch – no excuse necessary. Citizen Screenings is just getting its feet wet but I hope to comment on films and filmmakers I grew up with, have watched repeatedly or simply cannot forget. Good or bad. Hope to see you there sometime.
Once upon a screen...
