Hideko the Bus-Conductor was the 25th film on my list. Hideko Takamine is so cute in it. After I watched it, I wrote:
Hideko's smile at the end. I watch movies for moments like this.

I am quickly posting something from the library.
Thanks! And Happy Belated Birthday, by the way!!
It is funny that you say that you really don't hear anyone talk about it nowadays because it is a film that my mother has talked about so often. In fact, she even asked if anyone had it on their list.
I was going to ask yesterday if anyone had any predictions for today. Those are two very good films to name.
Is anyone else going to take a chance and say what they think might be the first two films to appear on the countdown?
I know I said that I would be on here to reveal the films everyday between 5-6 PM unless there were unforeseeable circumstances. Well, today there just happened to be an unforeseeable circumstance. I had to get my brakes taken care of (a broken brake line, to be exact). I JUST got out of there (I was there for about 4 hours because of the wait to get looked at and then get it fixed). Anyway, I have a bunch of things that I still have to get taken care of today (never planned on that much time being spent there today ). So, there is the chance I can get home and get this done by 5-6, but let's play it safe and say between 6-7. If I get home before then, I will do the reveal right away. But let's just assume the later time for now.
Sorry about that, guys!
You're off to a blazing start, SV! It's exceedingly nice of you to have taken on this project. And it's very much appreciated..
My 1-pointer didn't make this list, so at least one other person had it on their list. Hopefully that means that it made the countdown, but it's a movie that I rarely hear anyone talk about nowadays, so it's probably a long shot at best.
My predictions for 100 and 99

I've seen Jekyll and Hyde several times though not in many years. Nice to see some horror show up.

Yezzir, film from my list has already made an appearance !!! The Body Snatcher was my NO.10 . It is precisely what I like in my horror. Really great story, heavily reliant on ominous atmosphere and a great performance by Boris Karloff. The final carriage scene is beyond chilling and will definitely stay with me for a while. I'm glad to see that film of Val Newton's production received some recognition.
