Been awhile since I posted Oscar progress. In fact 39 movies worth of progress. So, that's a total of 125 watched, with 100 remaining. The grand total of 225 is counting the Oscar winners of 2009 (Crazy Heart, The Hurt Locker, and The Blind Side). I'm in the habit now of one per week, which won't quite get me to my goal. I might downshift the goal a bit to just movies after 1934. That would knock 23 movies off the list, of which I've only heard of a couple before (Grand Hotel and All Quiet on The Western Front), so I might not miss much. That plus a couple film fests should get me pretty close.
Speaking of 1934, the winner that year was It Happened One Night, which swept the Oscars (Actor, Actress, Director, and Picture). One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and The Silence of The Lambs are the only other movies to have done that. All three also won their screenplay categories. I mention because It Happened One Night is the only Oscar winner I've seen not through Netflix since the last posting. So I wanted to mark it down.
Other than noting what a great leading man Clark Gable is, I don't have much else to contribute about the movie. If you are interested in viewing the complete list I published my Google Docs Spreadsheet here. TL was participating in this goal with me but she went and got herself a fiancee and a social life so I've pulled ahead.
