Low film on this week’s total, with a sadly low 12 points, The Hasty Heart is not even close to ninth-place finisher Fiddler on the Roof with 19. Just above that is The Curse of the Demon with 21 points and then The Umbrellas of Cherbourg with 22. Another gap separates 7th and 6th with 28 points going to The Song of Bernadette. Five points higher in a three-way tie for third place between Cinema Paradiso, The Last of the Mohicans and The Producers with 33 points each. But even second place can’t hold a candle to this week’s top point-getter as Kiss Me Deadly‘s 34 points is dwarfed by Treasure of the Sierra Madre‘s 40 John Huston’s film will be added to my Netflix queue. I will receive it next week to be watched that subsequent weekend and reviewed in The Morning After to be posted on April 11 (due to a backlog, I may not be able to get the review posted by that time).
Here’s the deal: every week, I will be calling for suggestions of films to be added to my Netflix queue. Each person makes one suggestion and one alternate (in case I have seen one of your suggestions). The next week, when I call for new suggestions, we begin a one-week voting period to select the film to be placed immediately into my Netflix queue to be reviewed the weekend after (because I’ll already have my Netflix queue selections for the coming weekend). Then, you’ll find out what I thought in my weekly Morning After feature on Monday morning.
Sometimes a genre gets stuck in the rotation and it makes for a rough viewing schedule. Starting this week, I’m going to be asking for suggestions that fit a specific genre so each week can be a bit spicy. The genre or event listed each week will be posted at the end of this post.
To help decide what to pick, here is a list of what I’ve seen (or at least that I have personally logged).
