Psycho you beat
My Spot!

Full total: 1887 minutes

Features
1. The Rescuers (1977) : 78 minutes - RW: ok didn't watch this because I thought it was fantasy but imdb says so. Always a nice revisit.
2. I Hate my Body (1974): 83 minutes - FTV: sci-fi about a man and woman who after an accident become one his brain in her body. Gives some nice complications even though the men are portrayed a bit too overly chauvinist. Too bad the ending was quite abrupt.
3. Coraline (2009): 100 minutes - RW
4. The Last Unicorn (1982): 92 minutes - RW
5. The Dark Crystal (1982): 93 minutes - RW
6. The Secret of Moonacre (2008): 103 minutes - RW
7. Something Weird (1967): 80 minutes - RW
8. Creature with the Atom Brain (1955): 69 minutes - RW
9. L'Inferno - Dante's Inferno (1911): 68 minutes - FTV: nice as historical piece and even though there were title cards like the full feature silent movies I have seen, this one describes the action that follows rather than using it for dialogue. There is no real story in here, Dante and his mate Virgil walk from scene to scene where they see the punishment of people for their earthly sins when they were still alive. Even though it's different punishments it gets repetitive with rarely close-ups mostly long shots. Visually well done for its time but it doesn't tell much.
10. The Patchwork Girl of Oz (1914): 48 minutes - FTV: according to imdb this was around 80 minutes even though I doin't have the feeling I missed important parts of the story. It's another Oz story written by Baum with other characters than Dorothy in the leading roles. There is small parts for the scarecrow, the tin man and Ozma though (and the lion he might have been there too). It's an ok adventure but a bit too chaotic, much crazy running and hopping around. It has some fun moments with weird creatures but the Magic Cloak was more enjoyable and the shorter length of the latter worked better too. Even the heavy cut version of Patchwork girl seemed rather draggy. The story was too simple to justify over half an hour of movie IMO.
11. Earth vs the Flying Saucers (1956): 83 min - RW
12. His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz (1914): 59 min - FTV: third and last Oz silent from trilogy written by Baum. It looks a lot like the wizard of Oz story with all the regular characters: Dorothy, scarecrow, tin man etc. The plot centers around the love between a princess and gardener. Better than Patchwork Girl and on par with Magic Cloak but this hyperkinetic behavior it gets quite annoying.
13. The Wizard of Oz (1925): 95 min - FTV: so before there was the Garland movie there were a few silent versions and the last one to tackle a silent version of the Baum story was a slapstick comedian named Larry Semon. I had heard of its bad reputation and I have to say all the bad reviews I read after watching this abomination of a flick I have to agree with. It's a turkey despite the score on imdb doesn't support that for sure the worst Oz movie I have seen and possibly the worst silent I can think of. Interesting as a curiosity and if you want to see Oliver Hardy just before he teamed up with Stan Laurel in the role of tin man (even though he only plays that role briefly).
14. The Angry Red Planet (1959): 83 min - RW
15. Shanks (1974): 93 min - FTV: now this was a lot better than the general rating, liked this one quite a bit
16. Creepozoids (1987): 78 min - FTV: low budget monster flick with the obligatory Quigley nude scene, rips of Alien, The Killer Shrews and even It's Alive. Terrible at least it's short.
17. Darkman (1990): 96 minutes - FTV: it was actually quite enjoyable, final 30 minutes it became rather silly, seems like a patent of the director
18. Ginger Snaps (2000): 108 min - FTV: better than expected even though it's rather slow at points more like a teenage drama with horror elements, strong performances from the sisters, could definitely have cut short to 90 minutes and the ending left me rather unfulfilled, overall something different and fresh but I pick Company of Wolves over this any day, not really a fan of this teenage oriented stuff with some exceptions like Let the Right One in which I think is excellent

35. The Kingdom of the Fairies - Le Royaume des Fées (1903): 16 min - FTV not sure why most of Mélies fans think Trip to the Moon is his best work. I think that one is rather dull compared to this fantasy story with better and easier storyline and a lot better effects and setting. I guess it's personal preference but this is very nice as early fantasy movie

48. Les Quatre cents farces du diable - The Merry Frolics of Satan (1906): 17 min - FTV, this one is clearly an adaptation from the Faust story, with some really visually creepy scenes, the best Mélies so far with decent story and in color
49. La fée Carabosse ou Le poignard fatal - The Witch (1906): 12 min - FTV: the colour makes this one nice visually but a bit too childish all in all, the Kingdom of the Fairies is a much better effort.
50. Le palais des mille et une nuits - The Palace of The Arabian Nights (1905): 19 min - FTV: despite some nice visuals the dominant of red colours made it often hard to see details. With the absence of any form of narration it's even harder to figure out the storyline. I will remember the skeleton dance most.
51. A Trip to Mars (1910): 5 min - FTV: not that much to shout about but some neat effects with gravity and a big Martian monster, more fun than Mélies Trip to the Moon
52. Frankenstein (1910): 13 min - FTV: of course rather hard to tell this story in a dozen of minutes, still a nice effort with the best part being the creation of the monster which is done by special effects
53. The Magic Cloak of Oz (1914): 38 minutes - FTV: almost a full feature, a story that takes place in Oz without Dorothy or her friends. It's enjoyable light hearted fun.
54. Éclipse de soleil en pleine lune - The Eclipse: Courtship of the Sun and Moon (1907): 9 min - FTV
55. La Cuisine de l'Ogre - In the Bogie Man's Cave (1907): 5 min - FTV

61. Le vitrail diabolique - The Diabolical Church Window (1910): 7 min - FTV
62. Les illusions fantaisistes - Whimsical Illusions (1910) (1910): 5 min - FTV
63. Les aventures de baron de Munchhausen - Baron Munchausen's Dream (1911): 11 min - FTV
64. À la conquête du pôle (1912) - The Conquest of the Pole: 33 min - FTV: another Melies in the style of A Trip to the Moon but twice as long and better effects but not that much is really happening in the means of story
65. Cendrillon ou La pantoufle merveilleuse (1912) - Cinderella or The Glass Slipper: 24 min - FTV: another Cinderella adaptation with much focus on magic stuff from Mélies

Total: 384 minutes

Well actually I rarely watch those anymore but this challenge is an opportunity to revisit some of them

And at last I'm taking the chance to watch the shorts from Georges Mélies, something I planned for years but always forgot about. It's incredible that special effects already existed almost right from the birth of cinema.
The original Frankenstein is also on the watchlist.

Just back from holiday, welcome CPA at last!
