I watched 29 movies in February. 21 of them were new to me. Seven of them were made before I was born. It was Foreign Film February, and I watched eleven films that were not made by Americans. I’ve intentionally slowed my movie-watching down this year. I decided I wanted to catch up on some television viewing.
As always I intended to watch more movies within my theme and write about them, and as always I got distracted by a lot of other things. I’m especially disappointed that I didn’t make any of my Friday Night Horror Movies fit because there are lots of great foreign horror films. But here we are.
The director and actor categories are still not really worth talking about. There are only four directors that I’ve watched more than a single film of and the actors have not risen above that number either.
I do plan on doing Westerns In March again this year. I’ve already watched Hombre in preparation for it. Anyway, here’s the full list.
