Week 8 wrap-up 2/19-2/25

An excellent week, it’s going to be tough to pick a worst again, as everything was up to a pretty high standard.

There were eight this week, as I had Bollywood Club and a Secret Movie Club drive-in on the same day, which meant that I could keep exactly on track for my goal with 50% Disney films: four Disney, four not.

And speaking of 50%, there were four four star films, The Point, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Lady and the Tramp, and Harold and Maude. Then there was one three and a half star, The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men, and three three star, Treasure Island, The Saint Strikes Back, and The Living Desert.

Of the eight films, I had seen The Point, Lady and the Tramp, and Harold and Maude before, the others were knew to me. Although it is likely that I had seen The Saint Strikes Back and The Living Desert before, but I just don’t remember. They have to go with new to me, just with an asterisk.

Now comes the thought part, best and worst of the week. For best I think I must go with The Point, as it is such a classic of my childhood, and for worst…Treasure Island, if only because of Bobby Driscoll’s slightly ropey performance. Though I still like and recommend the movie!
