We’ve all done it. Nodded along to a conversation about a movie or album that you’ve never seen or heard, the beads of nervous sweat gathering in your palm, heart rate slightly elevated. You don’t want to be one of ‘those people’.
Until Cinema Shame.
A place where I can declare heartily “I’VE NEVER SEEN GREASE” and not be judged too harshly (I hope).
Picking the list of 12 was tough. My initial list of 18 has three Tom Hanks movies on it and, as you can see below, only one made the final 12 and I’ve put that off until November. Dear God, let’s hope this doesn’t spill over into 2015…
It’s a mix of genres but I’m starting in my happy place – sci-fi. So here goes:
January: Blade Runner
February: Schindler’s List
March: The Godfather
April: One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest
May: Grease
June: Rocky
July: Fight Club
August: Memento
September: The Apartment
October: The Usual Suspects
November: Saving Private Ryan
December: Dr Strangelove
(I know… Grease!!)
