My birthday is next week, and owing to pandemic blah blah blah, I can’t really go anywhere or do anything to celebrate. So I’m having an at-home film festival. I am planning to “screen” three different titles based around a theme. Here are the ideas I have right now. Would love any random input, up to and including entirely new theme suggestions.
All (but one) of these films would be new to me. If an apparently obvious title is omitted, it’s probably because I’ve seen it. (Running times noted for my own reference.)
