December movies

In a few days I'll post one of my favorites of the year--the 2010 statistics! That will have the complete list of who, what, when and where (but no why will be given). Until then, be happy with the rather mundane monthly list of what I saw and my 1-5 ratings. As December usually is, this was a busy month with me watching 32 films that saw a couple of 5 stars (including the first time I have ever watched the pretty amazing The Treasure of Sierra Madre) and a bunch of films poised to get nominations come award time.

I've got a weak spot in my heart for Heaven Knows, Mr Allison

I liked it too--Robert Mitchum is hard to top in stuff like this. I've got a bunch of John Huston films in my queue and this and THE TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE were first up.
