#FilmSky #MovieSky 165/365 a year’s worth of movies I love E.T. (1982) Among everything else, I love how, for most of the film, the only adult face shown is the mother’s. You’re completely in Elliott’s world. It says a lot about Spielberg.

#FilmSky #MovieSky 164/365 a year’s worth of movies I love Die Hard (1988) One of the best action films, owing especially to Bruce Willis as the hero, and to Alan Rickman’s ❤️turn as cold-blooded criminal. I love it, but it just ISN’T my favourite Christmas movie. 😉

They won the 1965 Oscar for Best Song for "Chim Chim Cher-ee", but THIS is the song which many believe (myself included) is the best ever written by Robert Sherman and his brother, Richard M. Sherman, born on this day in 1928 (d. 2024). From MARY POPPINS: "Feed the Birds" #filmsky #BOTD #moviesky

#watched #FilmSky #MovieSky The Midnight Girl (1925) 🌕🌕 Dull drama. Some enjoyment watching Bela Lugosi as a womanizing opera impresario.

#FilmSky #MovieSky 161/365 a year’s worth of movies I love Love Affair (1939) Choosing between Leo McCarey’s two versions of this story could make me… jump out of the Empire State. So instead of that, I’ll just include “Affair to Remember” later on.

Kudos to the Venice Film Festival for recognizing Kim Novak as "one of the most beloved icons of an entire era of Hollywood films." The 92 year old will receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement — and a new documentary on her work in VERTIGO (1958) will premiere at the Festival. #FilmSky

#Bales2025FilmChallenge #FilmSky #MovieSky June 9: favourite animated character Duck Amuck (1953)

#FilmSky #MovieSky 160/365 a year’s worth of movies I love Calvary (2014) The great Brendan Gleeson is at the center of this one, playing a very decent priest carrying the burden of the shortcomings of the Catholic Church.

James Newton Howard, who is turning 74 today. Rock musician & arranger, film score composer. From Elton John to Barbra Streisand, from PRETTY WOMAN to THE HUNGER GAMES, his career has been both long and noteworthy. A remarkably talented guy. 1/ #filmsky #moviesky #musicsky #BOTD

#watched #FilmSky #MovieSky Terriers (season 1/1, 2010) 🌕🌕🌕🌕 This was top television with a lousy title, which is the dumbest reason for a show to get cancelled before it's time. Justice for Donal Logue, Michael Raymond-James, the whole darn cast and the writers!

#FilmSky #MovieSky 159/365 a year’s worth of movies I love Meet John Doe (1941) The theme of common decency vs. greed and corruption always appeals to me. Capra probably did it best.

GREMLINS was released was released 41 years ago today. A 1980s Christmas creature classic, and among the most popular films of director Joe Dante, the tale of how the film came to the screen will have you scared to eat after midnight... 1/27

Conchita Montenegro by George Hurrell, 1935.

Taken exactly 97 years ago this month - in June 1928 - this beautiful autochrome study of a German garden in Baden is a wondrous riot of colour. I just love the 'twenties outfit with cloche hat and aqua marine scarf! It is all original colour, not colourised. 😍
