Luna Blaise on The Shining:
Mine’s The Shining. Stanley Kubrick. Just because of how many firsts came out of that movie . . . I’ve watched the Behind the Scenes of that movie so many times. It’s intense and it’s super harsh the way Stanley Kubrick handled himself and his actors but you can tell that it’s all for the art . . . it’s beautifully shot and the acting is just superb. I love Stanley Kubrick.
Matt Long on The Searchers:
“If I had to pick one film, which is so hard to do, I’d probably pick The Searchers. I’m a huge fan of Westerns and I love John Wayne. Not all of his movies, but a lot of them. And I love John Ford. I love those Westerns from the 40s and 50s especially. It’s just so beautiful to look at. It’s such an iconic story. It’s about redemption – there’s a darkness (to it). I think it’s my favorite character that John Wayne ever played by a mile. There’s so many great things about it.”
You can fast forward to the 1:50 mark if you want to skip my boring introduction!!
As much as I love both films, I haven’t seen either in over 20 years, and since I’m attempting to watch at least 500 movies this year, I’ll probably add both to my watchlist.
Are you a fan of Manifest or for that matter The Searchers and The Shining? . Feel free to comment below!!
