Classic Movie Month Weekly Update: May 23

Posted on the 23 May 2012 by Tjatkinson @T_J_atkinson

Sixteen days ago I officially started my May 2012: Classic Movie Month, a month looking at classic Hollywood movies that will most likely extend into June as well. As I reported a week ago in my last update, I only saw four ‘classic’ movies during my first week of the marathon, but during the second week, as I’m about to reveal, I made an improvement and saw more than four, and I aim to check another one tonight. To see a complete list of the movies I plan to watch throughout the whole marathon, read the original post here.

Here’s what I’ve watched since May 15:

Safety Last! (1923)

Rebel Without a Cause (1955)

The Red Shoes (1948)

Citizen Kane (1941) – REWATCH

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)

The Grapes of Wrath (1940)

The Big Sleep (1946)

Brief Encounter (1945)

Touch of Evil (1958)

Gone with the Wind (1939)

I think that’s pretty good for one week, considering I also watched other films unrelated to the marathon. What do you think?
