Dreaming of a Life Less Ordinary

  And then there was none…   Well it has finally happened. I am a card-carrying member of the I have watched the top 100 Sci-fi movies of all-time club.   WHAT UP!!!!   If I had not previously had my nerd card, I certainly have it now.   The journey I started at the start of the Covid ended last night when I finally watched Wall-E.   I ended up watching more movies this weekend than originally planned.   I came into Friday with 5 to go: ·          Forbidden Planet ·          The Day the Earth Stood Still ·          Logan’s Run ·          Invasion of the Body Snatchers (56) ·          Wall-E   Friday night I took down Forbidden Planet.   Yet another movie that I loved from the 50’s.   I can’t say enough about movies I have watched from the 50’s, really. Black in White or in Color it matters not to me, the movies are good.   They are well thought out.   They have a good plot.   Characters you could see yourself following.   I don’t know there is something about them

 And then there was 10… From the Classic Sci-fi List, I have now cleared 68 of the 78 movies I needed to watch for me to be able to say I have seen the top 100 Sci-fi movies of all time.   Basically, that means at a minimum since May 30 th of this year I have watched at least 61 movies.   I say at a minimum because not every movie I have watched since May 30 th came from the Sci-fi movie list I made.   I have written about 3 alone that would not have come from that list. I think in the last two months I have watched close to 80 movies.   However, that isn’t the point, the point is through viewing and not all of it pleasant viewing I got myself to the final 10.   I will have to note that 7 of the movies I couldn’t watch, or I passed on, and only one did I turn off.     I couldn’t find the following movies streaming:   Strange Days, Paprika, Fahrenheit 451, and Ikarie XB-1.   I was bummed about three of the four.   I am not going to lie I had little to no interest in Fahrenheit 451
