Harper (1966)
@bramblejim.bsky.social#Bales2026MovieChallenge -favorite actor
#OctoberMovieChallenge -wrongly imprisoned
Malcom X (1992)
My favorite living actor Denzel. Malcom was convicted of a real burglary, but his extreme and excessive racist sentence was based on his involvement with a white woman.

Oct. 1 - film made before 1950 everyone should see.. Rebecca (1940)...
Let’s dream of the sometimes nightmare that was Manderley again…
@bramblejim.bsky.social#Bales2026MovieChallenge -robbed of best picture
Dr Strangelove: or how I leaned to stop worrying and love the bomb (1964)
Horrible ending aside, I like Oscar winner My Fair Lady, but the clear better film that year was Dr Strangelove. Mary Poppins was better also.

10/2
A romantic comedy you'd recommend to someone who hates romantic comedies
High Fidelity (2000)
A record store owner (John Cusack) is distracted from a new relationship by obsessing over past breakups.
@bramblejim.bsky.social#Bales2026MovieChallenge -romcom for those who hate romcoms
#OctoberMovieChallenge -someone with AIDS
Longtime Companion (1989)
Early Sundance discovery. Light on comedy but definitely has romance. A quiet and deeply human snapshot of the 80s AIDS crisis

Oct. 1 - film made before 1950 everyone should see

@gtcarisson.bsky.social#Bales2026MovieChallenge -pre 1950 that all should see
#OctoberMovieChallenge -old car
Five Graves to Cairo (1943)
A fantastic Billy Wilder wartime drama. Rommel's (von Stroheim's) staff car is a rare T13 prototype the Army built from Ford GP Jeep parts then sold to Paramount.
