Manhattan - Day 26

October, glorious October. My favorite month of the year, the sweaters come out of the closet, the leaves begin to turn and there is a certain smell that travels along on the cool autumn breeze. . .

. . . and today it was 85!

Now I know a lot of folks loved this little bit of Indian summer, but as I walked across the park today, amidst all the October sunbathers, all I could think of was - "it's too damn hot". I hear it supposed to cool down in a couple of days. Well, not soon enough for me.

The 100 films . . .

In this blog I'll be writing about the 100 films that shaped, in some way large or small, who I am today. They won't be presented in any particular order and not all of them will make this list because they are great or even particularly good films. Perhaps some will be represented for a tiny, seemingly insignificant scene or line – something that I carry with me each day, while others will be here because I can slip into them like a well worn sweatshirt that you slide on when you're feeling down. Some will be works of art that continue to challenge, enlighten, or amaze me while others will be included simply because they continue to entertain me viewing after viewing. To others, some of films that will appear here might be considered great while others . . . well . . . might not be considered worth considering. Anyway, here it goes. Hang on my friends, the new year is here and I am off and running.
