In January, I watched thirty-two movies (or shows). I did watch Metropolis twice. Once with the original score which earned it 5 stars, and once with a jazzy-loopy-loop that earned it 4 1/2 stars.
My top five favorite movies from January are: IVANHOE, MUSIC MAN, GROUNDHOG DAY, STRICTLY BALLROOM and WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING. Honestly, it may be a tie between While You Were Sleeping and Overboard.
Other five star movies include: Bride and Prejudice, Gilded Age season 3, Metropolis, Overboard, The Thirteenth Floor, and VHS Christmas Carols. I would watch all of these happily again. They were solidly enjoyable. (Overboard as I mentioned is SO, SO, SO good).
My four and four 1/2 star movies this month include:
- Escape from LA (4 stars)
- Chaos on the Bridge (4 1/2 stars)
- Starship Troopers (4 stars)
- Marjorie Morningstar (4 1/2 stars*)
- Millennium (4 stars)
- Red (4 stars)
- A Wrinkle in Time (4 stars)
*Honestly I would NOT watch Marjorie Morningstar again but I thought Natalie Wood did a fantastic job in the movie and I am glad I saw it once.
Millennium and Red are movies I would definitely watch again!
I did watch TWO one star movies. I would not watch Camelot or We Three Kings again.
