A New Shift

Well, I’m back.

In the last month, I’ve left California, moved to Colorado, rented an apartment, set up utilities, started a new job and set up internet for my apartment. It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks. And I don’t think I want to continue with Best Picture winners.

Back when I started this undertaking, it wasn’t long before I started figuring out what I wanted to do next. Big mistake as I chose Disney movies. It slowly became something I would rather do than Best Picture winners. The long pause between reviews has only further intensified that desire.

Originally, I didn’t want to do a shift in the films I reviewed as it would seem like I couldn’t stick with something. At the time, I was furiously looking for work and stopping a series and starting another one would make it seem like I was flaky and unable to finish something I started.

Well now, I have a job. And they know I see things through. The number of articles I’ve put out shows that. I’ve also been commended for some of those articles by the people I’ve interviewed.

So, I’m making that change. I’ll get back to Best Picture winners someday. Maybe I’ll do one or two a week while the other days are devoted to Disney. I’ll figure that out. But the priority series now is films put out by the Walt Disney Studios, including subsidiaries (Disney Channel Original Movies, Pixar, ESPN Films, Touchstone, Dimension Films between 1993 and 2005, Hollywood Pictures between 1989 and 2007, Miramax from 1993-2010, Marvel after 2009, and Lucasfilm after 2012) and Studio Ghibli. 

I’ll also have a new rundown of films since it’s a new series. As it stands, my list of Best Picture winners is as follows:

1.    Casablanca

2.     Gone with the Wind

3.     It Happened One Night

4.     Rebecca     

5.     Grand Hotel

6.     Mutiny on the Bounty

7.     You Can't Take it With You

8.     The Life of Emile Zola

9.     The Great Ziegfeld

10.   Wings

11.   Cimarron

*EXCEPTIONS*

All Quiet on the Western Front

Mrs. Miniver

I’ll have a separate post with this list as well.

Coming tomorrow: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
