Gentlemen… it begins.
We got babes, we got music and now we got movies.
A LOT of movies.
Just starting to look at this and there have been a lot of good movies. (If one stops in 1999. I keed! I keed!)
So we are going to enjoy a slow stroll through it all, taking our time, but still making our choices.
For the sake of my sanity we will not be including silent movies (Well maybe 1, guess.) I will try to keep these closely grouped as possible. We will be starting in the 1930’s this week. Drama movies. Just 8 but make your choices as which is best. I hope you add some to the discussion as why you liked one or the other.
If you haven’t seen the movies, what’s stopping you? Expand your horizons and check them out. Links to the IMDB page is provide if you are interested in all the details.
So let the great experiment begin here. Matches will follow at 2:00, 6:00 and 8:00.

No comprende.

I’m gonna enjoy the movie throwdown. Thanks!
That said, I didn’t vote on this match since I didn’t see either movie. Not gonna trash either one. Biopics aren’t my thing, unless they come out with a Robert Louis Stevenson one. Personal reasons for skipping Mr. Smith. Although the sequel about his married life starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt was okay.
Watch the movies, then vote. Your weekend plans are clear.
