Manhattan - Day 54

Today was another beautiful fall day and as usual I started my day off with a walk through the village. Readers of this blog know that I had previously declared Perry as my choice of streets on which to live. Well today, yet again, I found myself walking the length of Bleecker Street, I realized that it is my favorite strolling street in the city. Starting up at Abington Square, the most beautiful crossroad in Manhattan for my money, and continuing across 7th south and then crossing 6th you can watch as Bleecker changes from the home of high fashion to the Bleecker of old.

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.
