1987 Done! Time for Year #17: 1964

Hello again, folks. We finished watching our 2 picks from 1987, Fatal Attraction and The Witches of Eastwick, and we want to let you know how they did. Here goes...

We first watched Fatal Attraction and this was a pretty sick movie. What seemed like an innocent little love affair between Michael Douglas and Glenn Close became a twisted, messed up, violent mistake on Douglas' part. To put it simply, Glenn Close went all Beetlejuice on him! Totally, head spinningly bonkers! Kim argues that Charlie Manson is the more appropriate reference. And she likely deserved a Best Actress award for her craziness. We both enjoyed it very much, although I think it freaked Kim out quite a bit.

Then came The Witches of Eastwick, which was a very bizarre film in itself. Michelle Pfeiffer, Cher and Susan Sarandon are these magical witchy women, who summon good ole Jack Nicholson to share as their lovers, or something like that. Well, turns out Jack is the devil (whoops) and wild fun times ensue. I won't give away the ending, but it was a little whack. Fun movie, however, and Jack was simply great, as usual.

We watched 3 incredibly different movies from 1987, but we both agreed that Fatal Attraction was the best film, and should have beaten The Last Emperor for Best Picture. But if you want to be most entertained, go see those Witches.

Alright boys and girls, now onto our 17th year, 1964. The Best Picture of this year was the fun little musical My Fair Lady, starring Rex Harrison as the proper British linguist Henry Higgins and Audrey Hepburn as the poorly educated flower girl turned Socialite Eliza Doolittle. Very good movie with lots of fun songs, including the wildly entertaining song Just You Wait. It also has that song from the Birdcage. Being a first time viewer, I gave My Fair Lady a fair score of 4, and Kim (who has always been a big fan of this movie) gave it a 4.6, totaling 8.6. Not bad, not bad. Now, let us tell you the movies we picked...

Adam- Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Kim- Mary Poppins

This year should be a doozy! I picked Strangelove because it looks very interesting and you can't go wrong with Kubrick. Kim went with Mary Poppins because she felt it's a movie everyone should see at least once (and poor, uncultured me has never really seen it). So, here we go!

This is a good one. Let's hear the responses! Which movie from 1964 was your favorite, My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins, or Dr. Strangelove? What other movies are your faves?
