Welcome to my blog! I am Hannah. The other night my roommate and I were talking about great movies. Her taste is older and not-so-well known movies, while mine tends to me more modern (last twenty years or so) and big blockbusters. Every year the Academy Awards selects one movie to be the best picture of the whole year. What makes it the best picture? Are they based on preference, how much money was spent on them, or who was in them? And, are the movies of yesteryear still great movies? I was looking at the list of all the movies that had won Best Picture in the last 84 years and realized I had only seen 11 of them. In an effort to watch some real quality movies, I have decided to watch the Best Pictures of the past (even the really old ones!) and share my view of if they are really grand movies or not. I will be giving them a school grade (A-F) and give a little background on who was in the movie, who directed it (if they are worth mentioning), how much was spent on it, and what it is about. If you have seen the movie I would love for you to share what your thoughts were. There's no order of how I am watching these, it's just whatever I can get from the library. On a side note, I may   wait to watch the Godfather and the Godfather 2 just because they are morally unsettling movies. Enjoy!
