Halliwell’s Four Star films M-Z
By
All done – well bar three or four films that I’m struggling to find any consumer release for.
I might put a still image next to each movie and a short synopsis/ my own thoughts if I find time but, for now, the list is functionally rather than beautifully complete.
There are a fair few films in there I disagree with but all of the ones I have watched I have enjoyed and there are certainly a lot of gems that wouldn’t get touched in a comparable Channel 4-esque 100-greatest-whatevers-you-must-see-before-you-whatever as voted for by Johnny Obvious.
Pokemon-style Gotta Watch ‘em All fever has gripped the compulsive side of my personality since working on these pages so this week I’ve watched Bonnie and Clyde, Cabaret, The Letter and Orson Welles/ Graham Greene’s delicious The Third Man. It’s obvious to see Halliwell’s bias towards early 20th Century Films – many of those featured were released in the 1930-40s – but that’s OK seeing as no-one really mentions many of those beyond Citizen Kane in current listmania.
Have fun!
