One feature that I’ve never tried but have seen lots of bloggers announcing recently is the Blindspot series, where you get to choose twelve films that you’ve been meaning to see and commit to reviewing one a month over the next year. There are so many movies on my to-watch list that it was tough whittling it down to twelve, but these are all films that have peaked my curiosity over the years but have somehow fallen through the cracks. Some are recommendations from fellow bloggers, while others are classics that have eluded me…until now. I think I have a good mix of years and genres too, so hopefully I’ll have some new favorites to add by the end of the year. In alphabetical order then, here are my Blindspot picks for 2017!
An American in Paris (1951)
Blade Runner (1982)
Cinema Paradiso (1988)
Darby O’Gill and the Little People (1959)
Donnie Darko (2001)
Giovanni’s Island (2014)
Hear Me (2009)
The Help (2011)
Imitation of Life (1934)
In Your Eyes (2014)
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Shuffle (2011)
Great picks! Will be fun to talk about Giovanni’s Island together
Looking forward to it too!
Interesting idea! I’ve got my own horridly long list of movies I want to watch.
I’m not sure who came up with the idea first, but it seems like a fun way to commit to catching up. Why not just pick out twelve of your own?
YES! Cinema Paradiso!!!! 😁😁😁 Great picks here. And I think you’ll like In Your Eyes. : )
I hope so. It must be good if you named your blog after it.
You may have influenced at least those two picks, so I deny nothing! 🙂
It is! : ) Oh – watch the original cut – NOT the director’s cut. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
Thanks for the advice. Will do.
We have a match in Cinema Paradiso. I look forward to comparing notes with you on that one. Of your other picks, I’ve seen five. I love three, not so much the other two. Can’t wait to discuss those, here.
Cool, glad I’m not the only one still planning to see Cinema Paradiso. A lot of people seem to love it. Interested to know which ones you liked and didn’t, but yeah, don’t tell me now. That’ll be for the comparing notes part.
great picks SG! Ive seen 8/12 and i highly recommend some of ur picks. I hope u have fun and enjoy all of them.
I love the idea of blindspot, but it would never work for me; i couldnt wait 12 months to watch a movie I’d pick 🙂
Thanks, Rob! I can’t wait to see some of these.
You’re just too fast at reviewing; it’s like every week is a blindspot year! 🙂
Every day!!! 😉
