Rewatched this today after rewatching Blow Out last night. At one time, I thought of Blow-Up as my favorite film of all time, and then for whatever reason, it fell out of my internal conversation. And it really shouldn't have, as it's a brilliant film all the way through — my favorite Antonioni movie, my favorite "'60s film" (in the way that a film from that decade can sometimes be a part of a genre based on nothing but the…

Star Wars 1977
How many times am I going to watch this in 2024? This is at least my third (?) time logging it this year, maybe I'll do a couple more? I've previously watched it on Disney+, I think, watched a VHS copy of the 1997 Special Editions at the in-laws, and now... have finally seen it on the big screen again, for the first time since 1997.
We recently discovered it was going to be playing at the historic Byrd Theatre…

Wild at Heart 1990
[This is number 4 in my 2025 "Theatrical Lynch" list — I'm trying to see as many Lynch films in the theater this year as I can. Hoping I can make it to at least 5-6 before the year is out.]
Happy to finally see this on the big screen again, my third time doing so. I first saw it in 1990 on the "big" screen at the tiny Princess Theatre in Oxford, Ohio — a now-defunct little four-theater cineplex…

My Man Godfrey 1936
[I’m trying to complete the Criterion Challenge 2025, all first watches, completed in the order of the challenge but not necessarily one per week. This is 9th out of a total of 52].
The 9th week is a nice and broad category — any movie in the Criterion Collection from the 1930s. And I have a ton of them on the shelf that I still haven't watched. Pulled this one as, well, I always love William Powell and actual "screwball…

Anora 2024
[I’m trying to complete the Criterion Challenge 2025, all first watches, completed in the order of the challenge but not necessarily one per week. This is 8 out of a total of 52].
I got done watching Eraserhead at the theater and saw that Anora was about to start. I'm on Spring Break, so no reason to get up early in the morning (plus, I could get a free ticket due to my Alamo host perks), so I finally got…

Eraserhead 1977
[This is number 3 in my 2025 "Theatrical Lynch" list — I'm trying to see as many Lynch films in the theater this year as I can. Hoping I can make it to at least 5-6 before the year is out.]
Well, I'm back on the Lynch train. When I started this Theatrical Lynch goal for 2025, I knew that it was likely that there'd be a number of screenings for me to see in local theaters. The Violet Crown…
