A dear friend of mine contributes to the 5 Years Project with answers to my interview questions regarding film, music and food!
I'm grateful for all that this legendary writer has done. To call him an inspiration is an understatement.
In which I finally accept that dance music still has a special place in my heart. Especially when it's created by a pudgy dude in his late 40s. This song moves me in two different ways.
I had no idea that a camera could do what it does here, until the year 1990 when a local video store let me rent ED2 so I took it home and made my mom very angry.
Thoughts so far? It hasn't been easy to write each week that's for sure, but I'm so glad I'm doing this, and I hope others are enjoying this project as well. P.S I love Substack!
My love of this comes from a geyser of nostalgia and an immeasurable amount of watches when I was younger but I also think this is more than just "Hitchcock for kids."
Another personal choice from an album that serves as a reminder of colder days, lots of snow and alcohol and a sense of things not getting better. But this song & album were of great comfort.
This won't be the last Wyler film I write about, but it was my introduction to the powerhouse acting and wide-eyes of Davis. A stunning opening tracking shot alone is worth paying close attention to.
Adam Schlesinger is one of my favorite songwriters, so this won't be the last time he comes up. Him + Chris Collingwood wrote many of my favorite pop anthems ever.
One year after seeing this movie, I adopted a cat I named Lucy for a reason. This film also kickstarted one of my favorite actor/director collaborations ever.
I missed last week's song write-up so decided to double up this time with an artist that has two songs on my list that absolutely changed the way I listen to music.
Some love isn't meant to last and that can be both tragic and beautiful.
