Re: Your most watched actors and directors of the year?
 
I don't know the actor's name in many movies.. I try and watch something I never saw before. Same with directors.

I went through a Liz Taylor fest last year.. Late 60s, early 70s stuff, when I thought she looked her best. She did some "far-out" movies then..
Did you see "Secret Ceremony" with Robert Mitchum?


I did watch part of "The Last Day of Summer" at about 4am.. Without subtitles (since I have seen this about three times).. I just love that it's a big beautiful strip of land by a lot of water, with a beautiful woman... and then this younger guy, who is a bit of a doofis, though.. Not even a lot of dialogue, but room to imagine a world with her in it.

I haven't seen Secret Ceremony yet, but it sounds good. I'll have to check it out eventually. I haven't seen The Last Day of summer yet either.

A lot of those I hadn't seen, probably Butterfiled 8 & Little Women is the best known out of that bunch. Have you seen many other of her films?

Yes, she would likely be one of my top 10 favourite female actors of all time.

I was thinking of one of her films for the 27th HoF. I haven't decided for sure, but I might go for it....You have a letterboxd account I believe, can I ask again what the name of it is?

Thanks, I'll go see if you seen the one film I'm thinking of. I don't have a letterboxd account myself, maybe one of these days.
