The Fun of ‘Gregory’s Girl’ (Bill Forsyth, 1981)

Some films are easy to classify as endearing. There’s a little touch of something in those that always makes the viewings agreeable. Those types of films are often contained in a shell without false pretences. For me, the Scottish film Gregory’s Girl, directed by Bill Forsyth, bears these non-neglectable qualities. Initially, I discovered this delightful coming-of-age comedy in February 2021 when I did […]

Announcing the 6th Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon!

Recently, I’ve got tempted to participate in blogathons again, but, to tell you the truth, I also missed hosting them.

Top of the World: More Films Recommendations for Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all! Three years ago, I did a little top 20 of my favourite films to watch on October 31st. I thought it would be fun to do another list because I have discovered more films in the past three years. Instead of doing a top list, I’m going to present these films […]

The Inspirational Classic Films Fashion

We all have different reactions when it comes to watching classic films. Some overanalyze the meaning of the film, some get interested in its historical context, some develop a crush for and actor or an actress, some sing while watching a musical (I have a lot of difficulties not to sing while watching Hair), etc. […]

Cinematic Matches! Films that Fit Well Together (Part 1)

It often happens that, when I watch a film I think “hum, this film makes me think of another one. Therefore, they would make a good double feature.” I have several ideas of interesting movie matches, and I thought it was about time to write a blog post about it. However, I might do it […]

Top of the World: 10 Spanish Speaking Movies

This past semester at university I had a Contemporary Spanish Cinema course. It was optional, but I took it for my own curiosity as, I have to admit, I don’t think I had seen any Spanish movies before. Here I mean Spanish from Spain. Some names were familiar, such as Almodóvar, but I still didn’t […]
