END OF THE ROAD SORTA

With today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film, I have come to the end of the long list of films that are available on DVD and/or Netflix.

There are probably another hundred to see some of which will never be released. They are either too obscure or people have lost interest.

Some of these include The Conquest of Everest (the first one--no longer a thrill, I guess), Death of a Salesman with Lee J. Cobb instead of Dustin Hoffman, and so on down the list.

I keep asking for them on Netflix because I think that demand creates supply.

I have been doing this list of films since March 11, 2004. That means I have been doing this for fucking five years! Over five.

The first film was The 400 Blows.

In the first list of a thousand films they started with numbers. Now they spell them out.

These do not include silents.

This is the second such list that was compiled. I joined the first one and this current one and that is why we have 1176 films. Some did not appear in both. I got them all.

So I have now seen a thousand, at least, of these and I am happy I did it.

What's next? I have some film fests to do.

I am going to take Zorba as a cue to do an Alan Bates series. Coming up. Then, many more. You will see.

And so will I.
