Film and Theatre Lover!
Legendary actor Gene Hackman has passed away at the age of 95, he was found dead with his wife at home and thoughts go to all of his family and friends at this time. He was a double Oscar winner with his performances in The French Connection and Unforgiven winning, he was also nominated for three other performances in Mississippi Burning, I Never Sang for My Father and Bonnie & Clyde. A truly outstanding career, rest in peace Gene.
Today Cinema First released a list of films that can be used at cinemas when they reopen in July. With Cineworld being the first to announce a date for England on 10th July they will then need films to show. The list has a very wide variety of genres as well as from all decades. I personally hope to see a lot of older films on the big screen for the first time, I don’t want recent ones given a release! Let’s appreciate some amazing films on the big screen for what could well be the very first time (Yes Casablanca and Some Like It Hot I am talking about you, not forgetting my all time favourite When Harry Met Sally!)
Here are the 450 films that could be shown in July at a cinema near you!

That’s right the legend that is Clint Eastwood turns 90 today! He has directed and starred in some of my favourite films, Million Dollar Baby and The Bridges of Madison County are two that mean so much to me!
Stumbled across Mettel Ray Movie Blog and spotted a fantastic blogathon and thought I would get involved. Fantastic idea of coming up with your movie alphabet making it consist of movies, directors, actors and actresses who’s lives revolve around movies.
The way I decided to approach picking my alphabet was to put down the first 5 movie related things that came to mind for the certain letter! Well most of the time 5 . . . That was actually harder than I thought!
Today’s quote comes from a brilliant film and a brilliant actor saying it, from “Unforgiven” and Clint Eastwood is the man who says it:
“That’s right. I’ve killed women and children. I’ve killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another. And I’m here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you did to Ned.”
Best Picture Oscar winner Unforgiven.
My first viewing of this Oscar winning film, and my first thought is why haven’t I seen this fantastic film before? I really cannot answer that question but that’s what I kept thinking throughout watching and especially at the end. It really was just fantastic, and truly deserved to win an Oscar for best picture.
