Yes.

Thanks again kanafani, this was great fun, as usual. I see it as your xmas present to all of us. I don't have many of these ladies' films under my belt either, and even though I want Stanwyk to win - who knows? - could be I might have rated Davis's films higher overall, putting me on her side. :shoc...

Side Effects made me fall asleep 10 times, and I wasn't even tired.

I probs have time to see one more. Maybe that long, long, b+w medieval sci-fi one, but its length is daunting.

If Stanwyk loses I'll die.

Hi to all the new people!

Get writing some posts soon! (Can't find a toasting glass smiley without santa. We need more options.)

Thanks for bringing it up. I saw it and I'm glad I did, even though it won't make my final list.

. . I think I've seen more recently made films this year than in any other year before. "Recently made" for me is no older than 5 years according to imdb., so anything released from Jan 1, 2014. Here they are, highest score to lowest score: . . Loveless (Zvyagintsev, 2017) 8/10 in a cinem...

. . EDIT: I just finished all of Series 2 of The Good Fight . Before that, Sharp Objects , a limited crime-thriller series set in a small southern USA town. Great cast. If Amy Adams wasn't on my radar before, she definitely is now. I think I saw more tv series in 2018 than ever before. 2018 TV. Mos...

What are you watching?

I saw it a week ago, and yes, I agree, it's excellent.

kanafani saw it and liked it a lot, too.

I'm gonna try to look for some of those and watch them next year. Of all films, I find docos the hardest to find out there, because fictional stuff is so much more popular.

. . I think it's also a record year for me for documentaries watched. Highest score to lowest score: Titicut Follies (Wiseman, 1967) 8/10 Salinger - PBS American Masters - (Salerno, 2013) 8 . . Visages, villages (Varda, 2017) 7.5 Voyage à travers le cinéma français (Tavernier, 2016) 7.5 Maya Angelo...

I hadn't even noticed the woman's hands were bound until it was pointed out. I liked that pic because it looked dreamy, like someone dreaming, and films are similar to dreams.

I like rischka's too.

This year I've watched many more recently made films (for me that's 2014-2018) than I've managed to see in many years.

WBA needs to bring his NEWISH films thread over here.

Your favourite films that you saw this year, regardless of what year they were made. Re-watches allowed.

Good idea. But it won't be until February or March that some of us will be ready to make a final list for films that were first released in 2018.

josiah! As soon as it's available, I'll buy it! That's wonderful!

. . L'inconnu du lac (Giraudie) was a bit confronting, with all those cocks in my face and gay male sex, even closeups of fully erect penises at times. It was a glimpse into a world I knew existed (gay beats) but I had no real conception of before. The story gradually builds a great sense of tensio...

. . Thanks greg, I'll try to see it too. I saw L'inconnu au lac (Giraudie) just now and I must say, a bit confronting, with all those cocks in my face and gay male sex, even fully erect penises at times. It was a glimpse into a world I knew existed (gay beats) but had no real conception of before. ...

. . . 1. Heli (Escalante) Before Midnight (Linklater) The Past (Farhadi) La vie d'Adèle / Blue is the Warmest Colour (Kechiche) Blue Jasmine (Allen) Inside Llewyn Davis (Coen) Nebraska (Payne) Billie Jean King (Erskine) Short Term 12 (Cretton) Salinger (Salerno) Mel Brooks: Make a Noise (Trachtenbe...

I think it's important that the verb be in the past tense.

Perfik.

What a story! Love it! I keep almost watching Nausea but then I don't. I'll do it before year's end. I saw Destiny years ago and loved it.

What a treat! You haven't given us one of these in ages! Thanks!!

You might notice I'm on a big horse, but what you didn't notice is that I've also got a big bullwhip on me with which to whup yur ass.

Hey, I'm a bit confused, I thought rischka's topic was about what stuff we're GONNA/PLANNING TO watch? Didn't mean to step on her toes.
