Rewatching My 100 Favorite Movies - Update 18

I decided to rewatch my 100 favorite movies of all-time. What those are, you can check HERE. I watch them in random order, there is no rhyme or reason there, just watching those movies I love so much.

61/ 100: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

Mother of a murdered and raped teenager can’t stomach the fact that one year after the fact, a perpetrator has still not been caught and she decides to put pressure on the local sheriff. The mother is not only good, he sheriff is not only bad. And that goes for all the, well-drawn charactrs. At once, comic and tragic, with unforgettable, razor-sharp dialogue from writer/ director Martin McDonagh, who we know from movies like “In Bruges”. Read my full review for “Three Billboards” HERE.

62/ 100: Rear Window (1954)
Photojournalist Jeffries sits at home in a wheelchair with his leg in a cast. His beautiful girlfriend, fashion model Lisa Fremont, comes o see him every day. She hopes to propose, but Jeffries is afraid of commitment and prefers to spy on he neighbors across the street. The wife of one of them, a man with an unhappy marriage, is suddenly nowhere to be seen. Has she been murdered? The story takes a grim turn when Lisa gets actively involved in the case. One of the undisputed highlights of Alfred Hitchcock’s oeuvre, still quite exciting and downright brilliantly constructed. Check out my full review of the movie HERE.

63/ 100: Call Me By Your Name (2017)
It is the summer of 1983. The 24-year-old American research assistan Oliver comes to Northern Italy to assist Professor Perlman. And makes a big impression on his 17-year-old son Elio, who to his own shock and surprise falls in love with Oliver. The discovery of the talented Timothée Chalamet. All the praise for this film is understandable, it’s a fantastic movie. Sparkling, intimate and honest. A movie to fall in love with. HERE is my full review.


Still to watch: 37
