Something special is happening at Hometowns to Hollywood as Annette is hosting a blogathon for the very first time! The classic film enthusiast has chosen to honour the world of musicals with an event dedicated to the golden age of Hollywood choreographer Busby Berkeley. For those like me who like the musical genre, Berkeley is […]
January 8th week belongs to David Bowie and his also known as Bowiemas among his fans. Indeed, David was born on January 8th, 1947 and left us two days after his 69th birthday on January 10, 2016, which left many of his admirers in a state of infinite sadness. As I haven’t written on my […]
Today marks the Burt Lancaster’s birthday! You may know it or not, but he has always been one of my very favourite actors since in discovered him in The Unforgiven (John Huston, 1960). The one we also call “Mr. Muscles & Teeth” or “Big Teeth” if you are my mother starred in some movies that […]
I wanted to do this top since a long time as I love movies from the 30s, especially the comedies. I think they were unique and the pre-code era allowed movies with a great touch of realism and modernism. As always, I invite you to respect my choices. This is a list of my most […]
Well, yesterday was this time of the year where I do my usual Hitchcock movie marathon in honour of him. My favourite movie director would have been 118 years old! Even if he is no longer with us since a long time, many continue to celebrate his timeless work. I started my little marathon Saturday […]
I had the idea of doing this yesterday. Because I feel like complaining, I guess, here are five things I hate about movie blogging (or blogging in general), but because I’m also addicted to blogging, here are also five things I love about it. There isn’t any real purpose to that, but I’m sure some […]
Yesterday, the famous movie music composer Bernard Herrmann would have been 106 years old. He did not only share his brilliance in his collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock, but in all the movie scores he composed. It’s for that reason that he is a favourite among many cinephiles. He certainly was among those movie composers who […]
April 5 is an important date on our calendar as three major movie stars were born on this day: Bette Davis, Gregory Peck and Spencer Tracy (and also Melvyn Douglas, Frank Gorshin and Walter Huston). To pay a tribute to them, I’ve decided to present you 3 little top 5 of 1- my favourite […]
Already one year ago, on January 10, 2016, a musical legend, David Bowie passed away and left his fans in deep sorrow. He was an icon and a real source of inspiration. This sad event is one that we aren’t completely ready to accept and that seemed to have happened too suddenly. Unexpected deaths like this one […]
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 […]
Today, one of my very favourite modern actors, the one and only Leonardo DiCaprio, turned 42! Young and still full of talents! For the occasion, I’m presenting you my top 9 of my favourite movies of his! Why 9? Sounds a bit odd I know, but the simple reason is that I’ve seen 11 of […]
It’s Halloween! Ouuuuu! Well, that seems to be the perfect occasion to do a top list of my 20 most favourite movies to watch for Halloween. As I don’t watch a lot of “traditional” Halloween movies, this top also contains thrillers, science-fiction, and dark comedies. I warn you, you won’t see anything such as The […]
Last Saturday, we celebrated what would have been Joan Fontaine’s 99th birthday. Unfortunately, as I was quite busy, I didn’t really have time to do anything to celebrate the event on my blog. Well, I’m back with a top from the top of the world and would like to introduce you my 10 most favourite Joan […]
I’m not someone who cries easily, but I would say that the thing that makes me the most emotional in life are movies. Here, I present you pretty much all the movie scenes that makes me cry or at least make me have some tears in my eyes. Of course, I may have forgotten some […]
Hello readers! I’m back with a “weekly” top list! This time, I’ll present you my top 35 of the movies of the 40s, one of my very favourite movie decades (actually, the second one after the 50s). Why 35? It’s a lot, I know, but there are so many movies I love from this decade! […]
Madonna, the queen of pop, is certainly known for a bunch of awesome songs, for being very controversial, for her fashion style and some memorable video clips. For this top 15, I’ll present you what are my personal favourite Madonna’s video clips. Of course, this is not directly related to this blog subject, but video […]
I once presented you top 10 favourite actors. But, of course, I have much more than only 10 favourite actors, even more than 100 favourite actors. But I’ll keep that to this number as it is a beautiful number, no? Of course this list contains my own personal choices. I don’t say that an actor […]
For this week’s top list, I reveal to you what are my 16 personal favourite movie openings (it was suppose to be 15, but due to a little mistake it’s now 16). The magic of these scenes is that they make you want to watch the rest of the film. So, if there are some […]

So, I simly invite you to vote for your personal favourite blogathon hosted by The Wonderful World of Cinema. That’s a total of four. Of course, even if […]
