Manhattan • Owls Head • Manhattan - Day 42 - 50

Just to catch everyone up, on October 27th we boarded Mega Bus and were off to Maine. We planned a little R&R, a little business for myself, and readying the house for the upcoming winter. It was a busy nonstop flurry of house work, meetings and visits with friends. On our final morning in town our friend Mike Dworkin picked us up and shuttled us off to catch the bus back to New York, with a stop for breakfast at the Home Place Cafe in Rockland.

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.
