Welcome to Litsy!

I check the charity book table at my local shop more in hope than expectation of finding anything I'd be interested in amongst the old cook books, mountains of Jeremy Clarkson drivel and biographies of disgraced celebrities, but today I was rewarded for my perseverance with these two schlocky '70s tomes! 🖤🧌💚💀❤️🧛🏻‍♀️💚🧟‍♀️🖤 😱😁

Random book from our home library:

📖 Re-Viewing The Passion: Mel Gibson's Movie and its Critics edited by S. Brent Plate

Mercy!

Better day at work. The collection development librarian let me take first crack at taking any of the weeded books before putting them on the cart for patrons to take because he knows I‘m interested in film. Took the tagged because of the author - I still haven‘t seen Citizen Kane! (Perhaps it‘s time to fix that 😆)

🎞 1940s P & P. I could let it go that the clothes and hair are all wrong, if they hadn't cut so much of the story. It made Elizabeth and Darcy falling in love come out of nowhere.

It's been a long time since I rewatched the complete Masterpiece Theatre 1980 P & P that introduced teenage me to Jane Austen. I liked Elizabeth! Had forgotten how uptight Darcy was in this one. ⬇️

Had a lot of fun reading this one. I now need to talk Matt into watching all 52 of these! 🤣

After compiling so many movie surveys lately for #TLT, I decided to dive into this fun-and-fact-filled book by TCM. It's a thoughtfully compiled guide to some of the most influential films in cinema history and based on THE ESSENTIALS series aired weekly on TCM. Aimed at both casual viewers and dedicated film enthusiasts, the book offers a balanced selection of classics spanning multiple genres, eras, and styles. I'll have to read the others!

I think I missed the other two Oscar Nom list posts, so I‘ve done all three just now. Ive seen a total of 17, with 1963-1987 being my best at 10. But, the early years have some of my favorite movies ever - Gaslight, To Kill a Mockingbird, Captain Blood (OMG, Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone, AND Olivia de Havilland?? HEAVEN!), Adventures of Robin Hood, and Philadelphia Story (KATE!!). This was fun @dabbe Thank you. #threelistthursday #tlt

This was a good list! It was hard to pick favorites. I picked these because of good memories of watching them with friends in high school.
🩵 Broadcast News (I really like Albert Brooks, btw)
🩵 Dr. Strangelove
🩵 Barry Lyndon
One that I can't believe I still haven't seen:
🩵 M.A.S.H.

Thanks for the tag, @Eggs
