Movie Quests

I'm thinking about movie quests, at this moment. Small, achievable goals which allow me turn my movie-watching into a tickable to-do list. Because that's the sort of thing that makes any action into an incredible accomplishment. 

Jessie Buckley in The Bride!

Early in the year I posted about wanting to watch every Jessie Buckley movie (I'm only at 6 out of 35 - how embarrassing), and every David Lean movie (3 of 17). I haven't completed those beautiful goals, but I did watch one awful Jessie film (Fingernails - a Black Mirror style sci-fi romcom which had no idea how to flesh out its premise), and an amazing David Lean one (This Happy Breed - a drama spanning the gap between world wars, watch it here immediately). This is already enough to make having thought of these goals worthwhile, but I will have to get back into it and continue my gorgeous quest. It must be done.

Sexy old man, David Lean.

That said, I have a new one in mind. Sophie Thatcher. She has, as it turns out, not been in a huge amount of films yet. But she was in Companion, which I really enjoyed. A true "good for her" movie. 

There she is.

There's something charming about her, and I guess it was that first season of Yellowjackets that did it. She pulled me in. And I'm at 2 out of 14. This could be my chance. And then, who? Sidney Poitier, perhaps? Yeah. But he has 83 movies. I've seen ONE.

Well then. Only 82 to go.

I must quest. I have no choice.
