NEW YEAR, NEW BLOG

THIS BLOG IS CHANGING FOCUS TO PERSONAL FILM BLOGGING....SO THE NEW URL IS:
http://leslielovesmovies.blogspot.com/
Please come read me there. Some overlap is possible, but for now, I need the blog and the students don't. See you at the movies.

BEST FANTASY MOVIES OF THE DECADE

I promise this is the last list I'll publish. I think this listing phase is a part of my progression from "teacher film blogging" to "personal movie lover blogging."  So it is helping my change my focus. I can admit the Film Club blog was a failure, but mostly because we did not need it. Another group, another year, that may change. But for now, those hour long bull sessions after the movies are golden, though I am still not sure how we moved from the Karate Kid to visual physics jokes all over the white board at 6:00 PM>
So here is the list. I like most of the films on it, but do not see any justification for either Shrek movie on a fantasy film list. If you are going to add "cartoons" then why not go to anime and add Cowboy Bebop or Evangelion (both of which took me weeks to get over after the kids swore that I would think they were the best movies ever)?

This list is inspiring. Of course, there are lots of foreign films I have never heard of, but I've seen 8 of them! I also love Unbreakable and The Host, so now I must be on a quest to see the rest.
