Once again in 2023, I tried to watch the equivalent of a film a day… and I fell a little short at 344! Even if you count the seven films I saw twice, that still only gets me to 351. So, basically, I FAILED. But here are the films I did see in ’23… (*Denotes a first-time watch Denotes that I saw it at the cinema) P.S. Yes, I DO have a Letterboxd account, but, for now, it’s private. I love making lists on there, but haven’t gotten around to logging day by day yet. Maybe next year x P.P.S. The films I saw twice? ASTEROID CITY (twice at the cinema), BRAZIL (once at the cinema), KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON (twice at the cinema), MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: DEAD RECKONING PART 1 (twice at the cinema), OPPENHEIMER (twice in IMAX), SALTBURN (twice at the cinema), and WHAM! P.P.P.S. The most films I saw in one single day? That would be in Paris, doing a mini-marathon of the city’s beautiful repertory circuit with a five-movie day on Monday the 7th of August with… THE EXORCIST (1973) FACES (1968) JEZEBEL (1938) ASTEROID CITY (2023) DRESSED TO KILL (1980) I call that a damn good Monday. Love you all x
Name that movie… (Answer: ‘Save The Green Planet’ (2003) guessed by @hooyou10)

If you have @mubi, do check out the hypnotic 18 minute short; ‘JILL, UNCREDITED’ that documents the 60 year career of record-breaking prolific back artist, Jill Goldston. Made by Anthony Ing (@hometape_),@Charlie.shackleton and @CathBray, this staggering feat of archive is so brilliant. It shows Jill as an extra in many scenes and different guises over the decades. I could have watched another 9 shorts about other prolific extras, but the mind boggles over how exactly they pulled this one off. So time consuming! Do see it if you can, it’s a very novel way of showing the hidden stars in film & TV. Oh and these are the films in the stills with Jill. 1. O, LUCKY MAN 2. THE ELEPHANT MAN 3. CARRY ON MATRON 4.
