There are a whole lot of movies I haven’t seen, hence the entire point of my Virgin Viewing feature. I’ve watched classics from a variety of genres, including horror (Jaws), adventure (Indiana Jones), and drama (The Godfather). Next up: a Disney film. More
Here’s the thing about classic movies – they have a whole lot of dudes in them. The Godfather was basically a bunch of dudes killing each other with women sticking their heads in and getting martyred every now and then. Back to the Future made Jennifer a non-entity and then had Marty’s mom mack on him. Jaws was a bromance interspersed with shark-fighting. Despite being sort of tired of dude movies, the next movie on my Omigod What Do You Mean You’ve Never Seen THAT? Netflix queue was Raiders of the Lost Ark. Between Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, That Guy Who Played the Nazi Leader, and the rest, it seemed pretty dude-centric. A dudegasbord, if you will. But then something wonderful happened: Karen Allen. More
So, I finally got around to watching Back to the Future, and it really was as enjoyable as everyone told me it would be. Though some of the references haven’t aged well (I love a good Ronald Reagan joke as much as the next girl, but still), the movie is still funny, endearing, and a lot of fun. Perhaps because it was more lighthearted than some of the other films I’ve watched for this feature, I just found myself making a list of thoughts as they came along. More
After several weeks of Virgin Viewings full of blood and guts (of the shark and mob shark varieties), I was happy to switch to a more romantic film this week. Like many classic movies I’d never seen, I knew many of the most famous lines from Casablanca before I saw it (“Here’s looking at you, kid”; “Play it, Sam”). However, what I didn’t realize was how urgent the film would be. More
Some films are classics because of the great acting performances or the stunning cinematography. And some of them are classics because they’re so horrifically bad that they’re hilarious. The Room, of course, falls into the latter category. More
When I first launched this feature last week, most of the people in my life had one response: “You’ve never seen what?!” Usually, my argument against seeing a particular classic film is “Well, I already know how it ends.” That’s what happens when movies are so hugely relevant in our cultural zeitgeist – we’ve seen enough parodies and caught enough references that we feel like we’ve seen a movie, even when we haven’t. But there was another reason for me not having seen Jaws – I don’t like scary movies. In other words, I am a giant fucking wuss. More
I love pop culture, but my favorite medium is definitely TV. If there were an entire 24/7 Simpsons rerun channel, I might never leave my apartment. But there’s a dark side to my obsessive television watching: it means I have missed out on a whole lot of movies, including some of the most famous flicks in history. Each week, I’ll be watching a different classic film that has previously escaped me and writing a review here on Crushable. First up? The Godfather. Apparently it was a spinoff of The Sopranos or something? More
