250 Of Camo's Favourites

Awesome man . Wasn't aware you were a fan for some reason. Seems to have gotten alot of backlash over the years but whatever i love it.

16.Bambi (Disney, 1942)

17.Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room (Alex Gibney, 2005)

18.What's Opera Doc? (Chuck Jones, 1957)

19.The Third Man (Carol Reed, 1949)

20.Rebecca (Alfred Hitchcock, 1940)

I'll be watching Rebecca again for the 40's countdown. It's been about 20 years but I remember it being very good.

Not seen Enron or What's Opera Duck so cant comment on them. Bambi is a classic and still gets played in our house and probably will for some considerable time due to our newest arrival. The Third Man I've seen several times and still continues to get better, its fantastic. Rebecca is quite possibly my favourite Hitchcock and gets an easy from me.

Look at that still from Third Man, that movie is the nuts.
Rebecca is very solid Hitch.
Enron is not shabby.
Haven't seen Bambi as an adult, eventually maybe.

You've not seen What's Opera Doc? Dang thought everyone had seen it, it's great only seven minutes long or something. It's funny, the music is excellent and even though the story is purposefully absurd it somehow manages to be really powerful.

Enron is my favourite Documentary. Just rewatched Bambi recently and it shot up my favourites, #1 Disney and top five animated films.

And yeah Rebecca is amazing, i had a write-up of it that i linked in the list chronologically post. I always heard it was overrated and shouldn't have been the Hitch to win Best Picture but i loved it. Hope you like it Cricket.

Dog Day Afternoon is one of my favorite crime films, I love Psycho as well! Sunset Boulevard was also really good, I'm a big William Holden fan and him and of course Gloria Swanson were amazing in it.

Gone With the Wind and Bambi are two I've seen and liked but it's been so long that they'd need a rewatch for me to properly discuss them.

I haven't seen Rebecca or Enron, but The Third Man was very good and What's Opera, Doc? is one of my favorite Looney Tunes.

Bambi is absolutely my favorite classic Disney. Expect to see that one show up on my own countdown.

Another strong set of movies. I like how you're doing them in blocks of five.

Bambi (Disney, 1942)...believe it or not, I've never seen that one, not even as a kid.

Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room (Alex Gibney, 2005)...I think it was well made, but financial talk is soooo not how my mind works. Same with The Big Short (a movie I think you liked?)...I couldn't follow the number crunching, makes my head tired.

What's Opera Doc? (Chuck Jones, 1957)...I'm sure I've seen it before. But the pic doesn't ring a bell.

The Third Man (Carol Reed, 1949)....love the movie, hate the zither!

Rebecca (Alfred Hitchcock, 1940)...use to be in my Top 10, it still could be if there was room. Didn't it use to be in black & white

I've not seen The Big Short. Funny that you don't like the zither, i love it but it does seem to be a major point of contention.

Gonna post two more sets today as i don't think i'll be on much tomorrow and that keeps me on schedule with ten a day.


Edit: Out of interest Citizen, do you have any intentions to watch some of the classic Disney's you've missed? I get it if you don't, i don't know how i'd think about some of them if i hadn't watched them as a kid.

11-15 are all amazing. Well except I haven't seen Gone With the Wind. Psycho and It Happened One Night are both top 50.

Have you seen Rebecca Raul and if so what did you think of it?

Agreed! Probably my favorite pick from the last ten, although they're all fantastic films.

Haven't seen Enron yet.

Cobpyth's Movie Log ~ 2019

I haven't seen it since 2010 when I became serious about film and joined Mofo. I gave it a 6/10 for that watch, but I'm assuming I may like it more on second go around. That was actually the first Hitchcock film I EVER saw.

Either The Birds or Vertigo was my first as a kid with my mum.

I still remember joining here and watching a bunch of classics and commenting on them. I remember I watched Rebecca, Rear Window, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, How Green Was My Valley, Dial M for Murder, and Maltese Falcon those first few months here.

You might like it, if you liked Enron. To me they both had the same financial crisis-documentary style of film making.

That's probably just me and Captain Steel who don't like the zither.

I'd like to see them. I'd especially like to see the Disney classics that I never seen. We never watched Disney or movies in general when I was a kid. Fantasia might be the first classic Disney animated film I've seen.

Maybe, it's on Netflix i'll check it out when i get the chance. I don't really have any special interest in financial crisis though, i just found/find Enron fascinating. Also i love Alex Gibney's style, he's one of my favourite directors. I wasn't into the documentary Inside Job.

Bluelion didn't like it either and i'm sure others.

Damn, i think Snow White to Sleeping Beauty is easily the best period for Disney personally. Hope you check some of them out when you get the chance.

My wife would like to see the Disney classics, so one of these days.
