Top 5 favourites from each decade · Posted by Tallulah
My friend, Kathryn, wanted me to share with her my favourite films going by decade (top 5 + honourable mention allowed), which I thought would be really fun to do. It also gave me an excuse to blog, hahaha! These are the movies I would watch over and over again. If a certain decade is missing or if there aren’t 5 films listed, it’s because I don’t have any films to list. I didn’t list them in order of preference but by the year they were released. While working on this list, I realized that it’s hard to really pick a favourite because sometimes I’d be like, “UGH, HOW CAN YOU BE SO PEDESTRIAN.”, but realized that was stupid of me to even judge myself or care about what others think. A lot of these films are ones I haven’t watched recently, so I wonder if I’ll still like some of my “favourites” if I rewatched them. For example, I adamantly disliked Hitchcock’s Notorious when I first watched it but after rewatching it a few days ago, now it’s one of my favourite Hitchcock films. It’s also possible that I might like other films more than the ones listed but I don’t remember them that well and need to rewatch them to jog my memory. Some decades were incredibly hard to do because there were so many favourites, such as the 1920s-1950s. I even told Kathryn about how hard it was and she told me how she imagined herself on a deserted island and how she tended to lean towards happier films so that helped me a lot because I knew that that is what I would have done too. But as someone who is quite sentimental, I had to make sure that films by my favourite actors and directors had to be on this list because if I was on a deserted island, I will need my dose of those! I guess that sort of skewed how I chose films because I would think “Well, there is a Hitchcock film from this decade, so maybe I don’t need another Hitchcock film? What would be the one Hitchcock film I’d pick over all else?” Here is the list! Can’t wait to see yours, Kathryn! (And I’d like to know what you think of my list, if you have the time to respond.) 1910s 1920s 1930s 1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s Leave a Reply |
