2. a Romanticism novel adaptation Northanger Abbey
2022 Film Challenge
2007 version on Kanopy?
A rare (especially when it comes to Austen!) time that I'd say I enjoyed the movie more than the book!

I've also learned that Hoopla has the Vincent Price version of House of Seven Gables, if anyone wants to use Hawthorne for this category.

Documentary, my dear Watson
watch 10 documentaries
Made You Look
Fantastic Fungi
HH Holmes Original Evil
Portrait of Jason
Cocaine Cowboys
Horror Noire
Circus of Books
Ailey
Bob Ross Happy Accidents, Betrayal, and Greed
Salesman
All of these were good with the VERY GLARING EXCEPTION of the HH Holmes documentary, which was one of the worst things I've ever seen.
The best were certainly Portrait of Jason, Horror Noire, Circus of Nooks, and Ailey.

I just watched The Last Days of Disco, which is set in 1980s New York City.

Just want to clarify what we're looking for here; I think the word "chaotic" is throwing me.

I was having the same issue. I'm just going for a film set in a very big city (Tokyo) and hoping that works. I guess I'll have to wait until I watch it to decide if the city seemed "chaotic" enough.

It is tricky. I went with .Foreign Correspondent since a good part of it is in London days before WWII breaks out.

You are right to be wondering as it is probably too concisely phrased. The point of this one (as well as that whole subcategory) is to have a setting which in some way is prominent. I have not seen the specific film you mention @Captain Terror but think of something along the lines of Lost in Translation. If the city itself is in some way a part of the film (even a small one) it would be fair game. For instance, I personally wouldn't include in this a film with two people talking in a room and at some point mentioning "oh we're in NY".
I hope this clarifies.

For "chaotic metropolis", I initially slotted in Class of 1984 because it's set in and around an inner-city high school, but I watched it last night and got the impression that it would have to involve more of the city in order to properly fit the criteria so now I'm considering swapping it out for something else.

Finally filled both lists. Though it's quite embarassing that there are a lot of popular movies I haven't seen yet
For later updates, not yet sure if I will go for both of them.
Stealing idea from edarsenal, hope they don't mind I will use watchlist and watched.

I'm lowkey hoping that The Maltese Falcon qualifies for that chaotic city category.
Watching it regardless, but it'd help if I knew it fit in somewhere.

IF you'd like a Bogart film to fit in that category, I'd suggest Casablanca (1942) or the lesser-known but ideal and HIGHLY recommended, Dead End (1937). And if so, I do have an excellent/safe link for it. Just let me know.

It does fit beautifully in Academy Award with three wins, Best Picture, Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Sydney Greenstreet, Best Writing, Screenplay:John Huston.

I'll keep looking for the city one. Maybe a Woody Allen film could fit there?

The two Woody Allen films I was thinking of was Annie Hall (New York City) and Midnight in Paris (Paris).

If I can find it, Midnight Cowboy could be ideal. Saw a part of it a couple years ago. Happy Accidents is that documentary on Bob Ross's company, right?
