Jumping in, love this.

Day 1: A movie that reminds me of my childhood.
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea


Living in Germany near the Black Forest and when they say, "the Black Forest is on fire" age 4 me ran and told everyone in the house. I have a collection.

Day 2: The movie with the best opening scene
Bull Durham
Susan Sarandon as Annie Savoy comparing life and baseball. “Walt Whitman once said, ‘I see great things in baseball. It’s our game. The American game. It will repair our losses and be a blessing to us.’

Day 2: The movie with the best opening scene
I don't like a lot of Tarantino's work, but Christoph Waltz is amazing in this movie.

Yes. Labyrinth was my other go to. LOVE.

Yes. Labyrinth was my other go to. LOVE.

The only reason I went with that one is that you'd already said The Goonies.

Day 2 - Movie with a great opening scene
Inglorious Bastards is taken so I’m going with another choice, Jaws, Bruce has his first meal

Day 2 - Movie with a great opening scene
Anyone who has talked film with me for a couple minutes knows Kogonada is my favorite filmmaker. The opening sequence to After Yang, his second film, was completely unexpected, felt more like a Besson or Jeunet movie. But, it’s also perfect and I love it.

Day 2: The movie with the best opening scene

IDK, I'm not sure the Chevy Impala was ever the most popular car in California. The realism might not be realing but the tension is definitely tensioning so still a great opener. Also Ryan Gosling

This movie has been on my rewatch list for a while. Stupid unreliable streaming services

Bruce has his first meal

The way you worded that makes me realize, we've all done dumb things when we're hungry It was still wrong but if he hadn't eaten all day maybe that's just the shark equivalent of eating whatever's in the fridge at midnight.

It's on mine now too. I remember really liking it. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for it on the apps.

This is probably my favorite movie. Dark, depressing... magical.

Pan's Labrynth (2006)

Day 2: The movie with the best opening scene

The BEST? Probably not. But a very memorable one!

The Lion King

 

[BreukelenAnima]

Raising Arizona (1987) -- a wonderfully madcap opening sequence

Day 3: Favorite movie Pre - 1970

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Day 3 - Favorite movie pre-1970
I could have gone with just about any golden age movie musicals. But I wouldn't have been able to pick just one. This 1953 film, however, is an absolute gem. I quote it all the time and no one gets the references.

Day 3 - Favorite movie pre-1970

This may not be my absolute #1, but looking at the month’s prompts, I need to save the others.

Such a good choice!

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

Such a good choice!

Nathan of the most annoying username took the first and probably truest choice. But this is definitely in the mix. Cary Grant deserves every bit of icon status he’s got .

Day 3: It's a Wonderful Life.

So sue me.

Day 3: Favorite movie pre-1970

I already used my absolute fave last year (I can't rule out using again this year but not yet) so I'll go with Vampyr cos I just watched it recently and it was pretty great. Barely any dialogue, a fun little spooky movie with a happy ending. It's also been beautifully restored so watch it on Max if possible cos YouTube doesn't have that quality.

Day 3 - Favorite movie pre-1970

Not favorite maybe but the one I’d watch right now

Day 3: Favorite movie Pre - 1970

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

The aesthetics are so, so good Who can be more timelessly elegant than Audrey in that dress with those pearls?? The gloves, the sunnies, the updo, it's all perfection!
