Nothing in particular, just a matter of getting hold of the movies and watching them. Knowing the way I am they are likely to stay that way for a while. That said I have found a video store recently, which has The Godfather (I-III). Annie Hall is a very long way down my lists of priority as it is a Woody Allan film. I really should try and watch the top 3 before the end of this year.

Progress for Aug. 1–31, 2017

NOTE: ICM handle is "dtsjr."

I'm currently #766 in the charts (up 72 spots)
2435 top list checks (+90)
3321 checks overall (+126)
#14 in the Filmspotting group "top member" ranking (no change)

My Top So-called Shames (unchecked titles in more than 25 official toplists) — still, still no change
Spirited Away (36)
The Bridge on the River Kwai (30)
Pan's Labyrinth (29)
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (26)

Official Lists I'm Trying To Chip Away At
625/1001 (62.4%) in They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? list (–0.2%)
492/807 (61.0%) in Sight and Sound 2012 - Combined List list (+0.6%)

On on both of these lists, my progress suffered from the decision during August to consolidate eight "Histoire(s) du Cinema" titles and five "Dog Star Man" titles into one of each.

75 Awards (+2)
0 Platinum
7 Gold (+1)
16 Silver (–1)
52 Bronze (+1)

So you're saying that if I see one of them, I can check all four?

Ha, yes. I literally had written that out exactly, then edited it out for brevity.

Flash Gordon (5) - 3/10


Month Notes: Chipping away at the Empire list and deep diving on some of the directors. Since I saw 'Get Carter' last month, I caught up with Mike Hodges' other notable work 'Flash Gordon'. Interesting career path Mike had...

I enjoy branching a bit from what is just on the Empire list. I'm glad I do, since I really didn't enjoy 'Tree of Wooden Clogs', but really enjoyed Ermanno Olmi's 'Il Posto'. I try to watch them in chronological order, so I saw how Olmi progressed in his style and I could appreciate the type of film he was making in 'Clogs'.. I still didn't really like the movie though.

The end of this month I caught up with 'A Cantebury Tale', which has given me an excuse to watch what I'd consider Second-Tier Powell and Pressburger. They have made some of my favorite films of all time, so I've enjoyed digging a bit deeper with this one, '49th Paralell' and 'I Know Where I'm Going!'. I'm going to end my mini-marathon with 'The Thief of Bagdad'-- which I know isn't an Archers production... but it does have Sabu..

This coming month I am traveling for work which sets me up with a week in a hotel right next to a movie theater. I have only seen a handful of movies in the theater the last few years and none since the baby has come. I've already bought Moviepass and hope to get a few nights to actually watch some new releases!
