(Not everything, of course &#8212; but plenty!) <\/p>\n<p>In addition to switching over to a <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/themes\/nisarg\/\">new  WordPress theme<\/a> this year, I&#8217;ve been spending many hours cleaning up older reviews, removing or replacing outdated links, and adding new &#8212; bigger, clearer &#8212; stills, including incorporating images directly into the review narratives themselves. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also (hopefully) made it easier to find Peary&#8217;s recommended movies according to actors (<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?page_id=49938\">A-J<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?page_id=50230\">K-Z<\/a>), <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?page_id=49953\">directors<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?page_id=49975\">countries-of-origin<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?page_id=49970\">genres<\/a>, and more. It&#8217;s not perfect, but it feels like I&#8217;m getting closer to the more streamlined and organized site I&#8217;ve imagined all along. <\/p>\n<p>For those interested in stats, here are the latest numbers on how many of Peary&#8217;s <em>Guide for the Film Fanatic<\/em> films have been covered on this site so far: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1,118 reviews<\/strong> of titles in the <strong>front section<\/strong> of Peary&#8217;s book<\/li>\n<li><strong>1,706 reviews<\/strong> of titles from the <strong>back section<\/strong> of Peary&#8217;s book <\/li>\n<li><strong>41 additional reviews<\/strong> of titles considered <strong>&#8220;missing&#8221;<\/strong> from Peary&#8217;s book <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s a total of <strong>2,842<\/strong> out of <strong>4,300<\/strong> Peary-listed titles covered, which is <strong>65.67%<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p>There is still no rhyme or reason to how or why I choose to cover certain titles, other than occasionally feeling motivated to work my way through all recommended movies with a certain actor, by a certain director, on a certain topic, etc. For instance, I finally finished (re)watching and reviewing all the James Bond movies listed in Peary&#8217;s <em>GFTFF<\/em>. (Go <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?page_id=50346\">here<\/a> and search for &#8220;James Bond Films&#8221; and you&#8217;ll see them listed and hyper-linked.) And I watched NEARLY all the Tarzan flicks Peary recommends (just one more left).  <\/p>\n<p>My goals for FilmFanatic.org in this next year include the following: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep plugging away at reviews (of course!) and get closer to the finish line. (This is a marathon, not a sprint &#8212; and an enjoyable one at that!) <\/li>\n<li>Make more real-life connections with my fellow bloggers at CMBA (the <a href=\"https:\/\/clamba.blogspot.com\/\">Classic Movie Blog Association<\/a>). <\/li>\n<li>Continue to think about how to introduce newer, younger film fanatics to the wealth of amazing classic and cult movies out there, both must-sees and personal favorites. What&#8217;s the best format for this??? <\/li>\n<li>Dream about maybe <em>(maybe)<\/em> trying out some video reviews to post on YouTube.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Meanwhile, here are some highlights of favorite movies I&#8217;ve watched and reviewed in 2020:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To get your Pre-Code fix, check out the fabulous Edward G. in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=48016\"><em>The Little Giant<\/em> (1933)<\/a>, which &#8220;builds to an enormously satisfying conclusion&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>For an unexpected treat on New Year&#8217;s, watch <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=47904\"><em>Angels Over Broadway<\/em> (1940)<\/a>, a &#8220;compact, humanistic thriller about a quartet of down-and-out individuals finding each other one evening and conspiring to pull a fast one on fate&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>James Mason is one of my favorite actors; this year I watched him in Carol Reed&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=52953\"><em>Odd Man Out<\/em> (1947)<\/a>, which I found &#8220;consistently engaging, innovative, and touching&#8221;, and in the tense spy flick <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=48153\"><em>Five Fingers<\/em> (1952)<\/a> (one of the few Hollywood films Mason purportedly enjoyed watching himself in).<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re curious to see Humphrey Bogart in his only horror film role, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=48468\"><em>The Return of Doctor X <\/em>(1939)<\/a> &#8212; an &#8220;atmospherically shot B-flick&#8221; which offers &#8220;a pseudo-comedic mad-doctor amateur-sleuth genre-mash&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Robert Montgomery is &#8220;enigmatic and charming&#8221; in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=48406\"><em>Night Must Fall<\/em> (1937)<\/a>, a &#8220;unique and well-acted thriller&#8221; which it&#8217;s best to watch cold (no spoilers here). <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=49597\"><em>Seven Days to Noon<\/em> (1950)<\/a>, about a distressed British scientist who takes lethal matters into his own hands, was an unexpected treat to stumble upon. As I write in my review, &#8220;From its opening moments until its almost unspeakably tension-filled finale, we\u2019re held on the edge of our seats during this film.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Though I&#8217;m not a huge fan of biopics, I was pleasantly surprised to revisit Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=53332\"><em>Madame Curie<\/em> (1943)<\/a>, finding it &#8220;both atmospheric and highly engaging&#8221;. It remains &#8220;a meticulously told tale of scientific inquiry, rigor, and suspense&#8221;. <\/li>\n<li>Peter Brook&#8217;s adaptation of William Golding&#8217;s novel <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=49008\"><em>Lord of the Flies<\/em> (1963)<\/a> is creepy and oh-so unique. It&#8217;s tough viewing, but cult-worthy cinema.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=52668\"><em>The Wicker Man<\/em> (1973)<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=59260\"><em>Picnic at Hanging Rock<\/em> (1975)<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=52363\"><em>Being There<\/em> (1979)<\/a> all remain justifiable cult favorites from the 1970s &#8212; very much worth a revisit if you haven&#8217;t seen them in awhile. <\/li>\n<li>While helping my son with a project-based assignment on the sinking of the Titanic, I watched Roy Ward Baker&#8217;s excellent <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=48667\"><em>A Night to Remember<\/em> (1958)<\/a> and was duly impressed. It&#8217;s &#8220;notable for its fidelity to historical detail, and for portraying this well-known tragedy in an effectively gripping fashion.&#8221; <\/li>\n<li>Budd Boetticher&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=48439\"><em>The Tall T<\/em> (1957)<\/a>, starring Randolph Scott, is a winner: &#8220;At just 78 minutes, this nifty western moves swiftly and tells a taut, tense tale from beginning to end.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Perhaps you&#8217;ll agree with me that there are few better ways to spend your film-viewing hours than watching gorgeous Montgomery Clift on-screen. I revisited several of his titles this year &#8212; including <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=50181\"><em>Indiscretion of an American Wife<\/em> (1953)<\/a> (flawed) and <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=59483\"><em>From Here to Eternity<\/em> (1954)<\/a> (solid) &#8212; but my recommendations are two of his earliest titles: <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=49510\"><em>The Search<\/em> (1948)<\/a> and Howard Hawks&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=52808\"><em>Red River<\/em> (1948)<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Jules Dassin&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=49521\"><em>Thieves Highway<\/em> (1949)<\/a> &#8212; co-starring Richard Conte and Lee J. Cobb &#8212; offers &#8220;an elaborate revenge flick within a landscape of omni-present corruption and hustling.&#8221; You&#8217;ll never casually eat an apple again without thinking of this film.<\/li>\n<li>A nearly perfect cult classic to revisit at any time is Stanley Kubrick&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=51940\"><em>Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb<\/em> (1964)<\/a>. You won&#8217;t be sorry! <\/li>\n<li>To get your Elvis fix, definitely check out the engaging documentary <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=50970\"><em>Elvis: That&#8217;s the Way It Is<\/em> (1970)<\/a>, with lovely cinematography by Lucien Ballard. Elvis is at his peak here.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, the perfect COVID-era flicks this year have included Vincent Price in Roger Corman&#8217;s Poe-inspired <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=48194\"><em>The Masque of the Red Death<\/em> (1964)<\/a> (\u201cFamine, pestilence, war, disease, and death \u2014 they rule this world!\u201d) and Ingmar Bergman&#8217;s timeless classic <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=48778\"><em>The Seventh Seal<\/em> (1957)<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Happy 2021 to everyone!<br \/>\n-FilmFanatic (Sylvia) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FilmFanatic.org has been going strong for over 14 years!
