"Hi everybody!" (in the voice of Dr. Nick Riviera)

Hi everybody!

I have severely neglected my cinephilia the past 6-12 months, and I am desperate for a structured means of re-invigorating interest in my number one passion. I received a book this past Christmas entitled "1001 Movies To See Before You Die". Sounds like something right up my Bucket-List alley. After some rough calculations and a quick assessment of my temperament, I deduced that it would be a futile endeavor. As my volatile nature would surely leave me at 8 movies viewed, bored, angry at the requirement and abandoning the project. After daily reading of Roger Ebert's home on the web (http://www.rogerebert.com), I've deduced that tackling Ebert's "Great Movies" list, at 334 titles, was a much more reasonable endeavor. Hence, the impetus of this blog. Well... enjoy.

The Rules of The Game - 1939 (7 of 334)


Watched this sometime in the early part of last decade - I don't remember a whole lot about it... but it was during a time when I was really into my movie nerdness and after reading several articles praising it as one of the best of all time, rather than renting it I bought the $50 Criterion double-disk edition. I do remember enjoying it, but really need to dig it up and give it another rogering before I feel ok about posting about it.
