The Skinny: -I started a film quest to see every single Best Picture in the history of forever. -I’m an idiot. The next stop on my journey through time was 1934 – a land of black and white wonders, and one. killer. ‘stache. Believe it or not, It Happened One Night was my first foray…
There are a few awesome somethings that you should know about this movie. The first of which is in the headline. So, there’s that. Second – this is the only Alfred Hitchcock movie that ever won Best Picture. Bogus, right!? Not The Birds, not North By Northwest. It took an actor named Laurence Olivier and…
The latest stop on my quest to see every single Best Picture winner in history: 1967’s In the Heat of the Night starring Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger. It’s the story of Virgil Tibbs (Poitier), a homicide detective from Philadelphia who is accidentally picked up as a murder suspect in the small-town community of Sparta,…
So I just got back from dying-from-cancer-land with the last movie, and now I’m off to my-brother-died-and-now-I-hate-myself-and-also-want-to-die-ville. Damn, man. These Oscar films are tough. Does every single one have to be such a downer? Even The Sound of Music had to insert an escape from Nazis at the end. Can’t we all just tra-la-la to…
So I’m trying to watch every single Best Picture winner in the history of, like, EVER. This is a part of my tale… There is nothing more manly than watching a rousing game of dudes slapping other dudes’ asses. Actually, that sounds pretty gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that!), so instead I chose…
Previously on The Littlest Winslow: Nick started an Epic Film Quest destroying the coolness and validity of all other movietime film quests. He laughed, he cried, he hurled. It appears I broke another mini-rule. I’m supposed to be watching at least one film per week and then blogging about them almost immediately. Well, there has…
Crossed a huge one off the list, you guys – 1942’s Casablanca. It’s hard for me to even judge this one. It was just something that had to be done – a film that I should’ve seen years ago, yet there’s not much to say about it really. Maybe it’s because it’s Friday afternoon right…
Boom. I don’t know why 25 is lucky. I think I mostly made that up. But 25 seems like such a great landmark in my quest! 25 of 82. With last night’s viewing of The Sting (Best Picture, 1973), I’m chuggin’ right along here! Last night I had two co-pilots on this magic carpet ride…
So not only did the Academy grace this movie with the Best Picture trophy in 1976, but it actually nominated Sly Stallone for Best Actor? And Best Original Screenplay? With ten total nominations, Rocky was the contender to knock-out that year and ended up taking home three wins at the end of the night. But….why!?…
Previously on The Littlest Winslow…I started an Epic Film Quest! Read the deets here! I spend a lot of time watching shitty movies. I can’t even lie about the fact that I do it on purpose. Slasher movies from the 70’s and 80’s, terrible stoner comedies, Bruce Campbell flicks and beyond, I’m drawn to B-…
