In 2013 I jumped on the Blind Spot bandwagon and had a grand time watching all kinds of movies that I had put off for years. I expected the experience to be a rewarding one, but it still surprised me how much I enjoyed doing the series. Even though a good portion of my reviews for this website are just me scratching titles off my neverending watchlist, the Blind Spot selections were special in that they were films that I definitely would have pushed off for later without the prodding of being on a list. So here I am at the end of the year, ready and willing for round 2! I can’t wait to get crackin’ on these titles, and I hope I enjoy them as much as I imagine I will.
The 12 films for 2014 will be:
January: Oldboy
February: All Quiet on the Western Front
March: Who’s That Knocking at My Door
April: Dragon Inn
May: Five Easy Pieces
June: Persona
July: The Great Silence
August: Reefer Madness
September: The Grapes of Wrath
October: Night of the Creeps
November: Angels with Dirty Faces
December: Meet Me in St. Louis
Each post will go up on the last Monday of the month, as I did this year. Thanks again must be given to Ryan McNeil at The Matinee for starting this little blogging endeavor and spreading the cinematic joy throughout the community at large. If you’re curious, his 2014 list can be found here.
