Week 4 done, looking down the barrel of February, looks like I’m going to finish the first month of this project.
This was the first week I saw eight films rather than seven, and all but one were very good to terrific, and even that last one, Make Mine Music, had some very good parts in it.
As far as categories go, two were Disney animation, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the previously mentioned Make Mine Music, and the rest wildcards. Next month I’m going to start really trying to watch movies that I planned to watch rather than living on the TCM app, no matter how enjoyable.
Five movies I had seen before, Charade, That’s Entertainment, That’s Entertainment II, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and The Penguin Pool Murder, and three were new, That’s Dancing, Murder on the Blackboard, and Make Mine Music.
The best film that was new to me was That’s Dancing, but the best film that I had seen before is harder to choose. I guess Charade just barely beats out the two That’s Entertainments, but it was a very strong week, and I think Charade is also the best overall, again, by a whisker.
The worst new to me film was, you guessed it, Make Mine Music, and it was also the worst overall, because the worst I had already seen would have to be The Penguin Pool Murder, only because it’s the only non-four star film of the week, and not because I didn’t love it!
