Mark Kermode on Radio 5 just mentioned A Matter of Life & Death as one of his favourite films, which is very good taste for the bequiffed one.
The Powell/Pressburger marathon hopefully means more FSpotters will have seen it, maybe even this week, as they are following along.
If AMOLAD doesn't appear in this year's top 100 it might be because it isn't widely viewed. I would be surprised if that's the case next year. Are many people actually 'doing' the marathon? Anybody?
I just finished AMoLaD this morning and started in on a bit of A Canterbury Tale. I've finished watching everything else in Adam and Matty's line-up.
But what did you think? Are you reviewing?
Btw I peeked at FS website and it's Black Narcissus next now not A Matter. Out of sequence but not to worry.
I liked it
a lot. I wish I had time to type up a full review - but I've got too many other things on my plate right now, unfortunately. I'm not sure that it will make my top 100 next year - I still like
The Red Shoes and
Peeping Tom more - but it still was really wonderful.
And yeah, I've been completely out of order, in terms of following along with Adam and Matty - I just wanted to try to get all the P&P films watched as quickly as I could before I start teaching (next week). I figure if I've watched the films recently, the order doesn't matter; I'll still be able to remember them well enough to follow Adam and Matty's discussion.
