30 Day Film Challenge: Day 23 – A Film Made By a Director That is Dead

It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)

Director: Frank Capra

30 Day Film Challenge: Day 18 – A Film That Stars Your Favorite Actor/Actress

I’m gonna do my favorite actor(s)/actress from the classics, then my more current faves.

First would be The Philadelphia Story (1940). I said in an earlier post that you can’t go wrong with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. Well, add in Jimmy Stewart, and you basically have perfection.

More recent actors that I enjoy include Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall, and they are a near flawless pairing in The Judge (2014).

30 Day Film Challenge: Day 16 – A Film That is Personal to You

I thought this might be difficult, but it really wasn’t. Harvey (1950) is a movie that is very personal to me. Not so much because I relate to any of the characters or the plot; it’s more about the memories I connect to this film.

When I was little, I would always wake my brother up at some ridiculous hour like 3 or 4 a.m. on Christmas morning. My parents had set a rule, though: we couldn’t wake them until 7. So he and I had to do something to kill the time, and it soon became tradition to watch Harvey every year. In fact, my parents and I didn’t watch it this past Christmas because we’re waiting until my brother visits in February. We’ll all watch it then ❤️
