The Fortnight in September by R.C. Sherriff, 1931.
This is the story of the Stevens family and their annual holiday to Bognor Regis, a seaside resort town on the south coast of England. It has an unusually unpretentious, straightforward style. Its strength is in the minute details of the family’s domesticity and sensual observations of their golden days by the sea. There are occasional innocently funny parts that made me laugh. The parents are most closely observed, and they aren’t idealized. We see both their strengths and flaws, their public personas and what they bear privately. Despite the flaws and limited means of the family, one can’t help but admire their love, loyalty, and innocence. It’s enjoyable for both its lovely nostalgia for family life and a melancholic sense of the passage of time. 4/5

Here’s a film rec for your already 200+ watchlist. Aces High (1976) starring Malcom McDowell, Peter Firth, Christopher Plummer and Simon Ward. It’s on Tubi, I highly recommend it if you’re in the mood for something with amazing aerial stunts, WWI drama, and generally a film that’ll make you seriously appreciate McDowell’s acting, oh my god.
(Also based on Journey’s End by R.C Sherriff and instead of the trenches, it’s an airfield)

Added to the watchlist!

Movies I’ve Watched - 2024
95/?: The Invisible Man (1933) - watched 4/2/24
This is perhaps the best-written Universal horror movie. R.C. Sherriff creates a specific sense of place right from the opening moments. Claude Rains gives a performance that is both genuinely funny and genuinely scary — just as a concept, the Invisible Man is probably the scariest monster.

Aces High (1976)
My rating: 7/10
Damn, but this one's a stone cold bummer. Really rather good, though, mostly due to a solid cast led by a (despite his 33 years) still heartbreakingly baby-faced McDowell.

The Invisible Man: A Mini Review
IMDB Summary
“A scientist finds a way of becoming invisible, but in doing so, he becomes murderously insane.”
"Power, I said! Power to walk into the gold vaults of the nations, into the secrets of kings, into the Holy of Holies; power to make multitudes run squealing in terror at the touch of my little invisible finger. Even the moon's frightened of me, frightened to death!"
I know the mad scientist trope rubs some people the wrong way, but Claude Rains as The Invisible Man, is the perfect version. To me, he is the perfect vehicle for showing the experience of someone who deals with mania at least, my experience with it. I don't think I have ever seen the euphoric high of mania accurately show on screen until I saw this film.
His performance is overwhelming, that laughter is not only funny it becomes uncomfortable because you never feel in on the joke. We follow his character from wanting to be alone to needing his work to be seen!!! And his mannerism play so well without us even seeing his face.
The practical effects are also a feat. Floating objects? Footprints tracking? That scene where he is unwrapping himself to reveal himself as the invisible man??? In the 30s???
