  Thoroughbreds Don't Cry 1937

  ★★★★ Rewatched 20 Mar 2025

  First Judy and Mickey movie! And Judy’s first movie where she’s billed first.

  As we all know, this starts the long line of films starring Judy and Mickey and it’s actually pretty different than most. She’s not in love with him and they’re not really friends. They’re kind of at odds at the beginning, with Judy’s Cricket thinking that Mickey’s Timmy is a “swellhead.”

  Big Fat Liar 2002

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 16 Jun 2024

Instant classic, endlessly quotable, star turns by both Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes, a masterclass in comedy by Paul Giamatti. One of those wonderful children’s movies that also appeals to adults. So fun!
