#OctoberMovieChallenge -White House
Advice & Consent (1962)
Excellent boundary breaking film. Progressive for 1962 as it attacks political weaponization against a gay senator. White House scenes filmed at a hotel.

Castle in the sky (1986)
I believe this magical film about two adventurers searching for a lost civilization was my introduction to Miyazaki. The beginning of my love affair with his amazing films.

Oct. 11 - movie with an underappreciated actor
Gaslight (1944)
...Joseph Cotten doesn't even appear until the second act of Gaslight....but when he does, as always, he's a class act...

Ed Wood / Rushmore (Bill Murray)
Murray is known for cynical, deadpan humor. But he is brilliant and can also be campy and hilarious (Ed Wood) or restrained and somber (Rushmore).

Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
In my opinion, the greatest performance ever committed to film.

Day 9... fave female performance 1930-60...
Romy Schneider in Christine, those scenes with Alain Delon make me sob for so many on and off screen reasons...
@realweegiemidget.eurosky.socialFor #bales2026moviechallenge, catch up...
Day 8... Everyone hates, but me... Magic (1978)
Possibly this, hated the trailer as a kid, then watched as an adult and it's really good (honest)
@realweegiemidget.eurosky.socialFor #bales2026moviechallenge, catch up...
Day 7... books for movie lovers... Endless Night by Agatha Christie, watch the film too...

#OctoberMovieChallenge -postman
Three Days of the Condor (1975)
Robert Redford is outstanding as an ordinary intellectual out of his depth. The assassin disguises himself as a postman delivering a package.

#OctoberMovieChallenge -at the theater
Sunset Boulevard (1950)
Norma and Joe watch her films in her private home theater, her loyal butler as the projectionist. Swanson’s performance is masterclass.
