#I miss my old top 4 so bad 😞

Last one I swear (lie)

so i just saw ur letterboxd top 4 and notice you like old hollywood!!! i've been trying to get into them bcs my dad just subscribed to criterion channel. i wanna get into b&w movies as well but dont really know where to start 🫤 for the record, i loved its a wonderful life but we watched the colored version 😭

ohhhh to be in a country where criterior channel is available im so jealous of u anon 😞 anyway pls pls plswatch its a wonderful life in b&w!!!! the colored version really does not do the original any justice 😭 ive watched both versions and i simply think that it takes the life out of the film. youre really missing out if uve only watched the colored one!

anyways, i'd say its a bit difficult to dip ur toes in the oh pool, bcs there are some details that didnt really age well. but the first one i watched was the philadelphia story (1940) and the humor and story telling was so top tier that i could not help but fall in love with b&w films lol.

imo its easier to get started on the romcoms such as:

the philadelphia story (1940)

you can't take it with you (1938)

bringing up baby (1938)

roman holiday (1953)

the lady eve (1941)

the apartment (1960)

mr. smith goes to washington (1939) (this is barely a romcom tbh 😭)

the shop around the corner (1940)

ball of fire (1941)

and then u can slowly get into the "classics" that are ACTUALLY as good as they say:

12 angry men (1957)

anatomy of a murder (1957)

double indemnity (1944)

citizen kane (1941)

sunset boulevard (1950)

psycho (1960)

casablanca (1942)

the passion of joan of arc (1928)

all about eve (1950)

and there are colored oh films as well!! anything from hitchcock is so freaking good tbh 😭 my top 5 colored oh are: (everythings by hitchcock except #3)

rear window (1954)

rope (1948)

the good, the bad, and the ugly (1966)

dial m for murder (1954)

north by northwest (1959)

offtopic but can we agree that hand foot and mouth disease is the worst thing ever.

my siblings had it and i saw how much school they were missing, so i let my brother drink out my straw on purpose and i had the worst and only fever i ever had in my life for the next 4 days. i was shivering in the middle of july it was so bad🙁 one day it was pouring with rain and i VIVIDLY remembering walking to the school canteen not even being able to talk cuz i was shivering and chattering so badly.. (it was still humid that day)

then i got a small itchy spot on my hand in the middle of history, then i got smaller spots on my wrist, and then i had a couple on my fingertips which werent that bad tbh thankfully😭

yk those little sores u get on ur tounge sometimes? well i had like 50 of them everywhere in my mouth, including my throat, and i literally could not eat for 2 weeks straight🙁 i gained sm weight from eating nothing but potato waffles and ice lollies😞

and then, finally, i got them on the bottom of my feet.🙁 i couldnt even walk. it felt like i was walking with plastic surgery boob packs tied to my feet it was so gross...

i jumped for joy when it was over, although now my hands and feet are STILL shedding so much skin, it literally looks like i have athletes foot. plus your nails sometimes fall off, and i am incredibly unlucky to have lost half a toenail and the top part of my fingernail !!!

10/10, would definitely recommend trying to catch a random illness off ur 2 year old brother !🥰
