MY GOAL IS TO SEE 100 NEW (to me) MOVIES BY OCTOBER 24, 2008

New movies, old movies, made for TV, on dvd, on TV, in a theater... anything. I just want to increase my movie knowledge by 100 movies in 100 days.

Day 15, total films watched: 20

College -Cable- ****

Ahh, the silent film. This 1927 silent features Buster Keaton as a nerd who wants to win over the girl. Lots of wackiness (good) great stunts (good) blackface (oh... not so good) and the most bizarre ending in film history. I will post a spoiler in the comment section.

So, 1 more silent to see this weekend and then I have to see something from 2007.

Here is the 80 year old spoiler:
At the end of the film Buster a nd the girl announce that they will marry. Then in a quick montage they show:
1. The wedding
2. The couple and thier children
3. The couple in thier twilight years with grey hair
4. Side by side graves.

Then the words "The End" flash on the screen.

 

RATINGS SCALE * Not very good/ ** Good/ *** Better than good/ **** Wow! Great movie/ ***** One of my all time favorites
