Coincidentally, I started and ended my 2007 US viewing with Marx brothers movies. One was and early one (Harpo didn’t even play the harp in it!) and the other was late, but unfortunately, they were both pretty bad. Interestingly, I had the same sort of synchronicity with movies overall, with the first and last movies of the year both being from Korea.

Here they are:

ROOM SERVICE (Marx Brothers)
GILDA (w/ Rita Hayworth)
TARZAN ESCAPES
THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND (documentary)
IDIOCRACY
CAPOTE
MAROKKO (Josef von Sternberg)
BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS
WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE (documentary, Spike Lee)
PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET (Samuel Fuller, students thought the anti-Communist parts were hilarious)
PSYCHOPATHIA SEXUALIS
NEW ORLEANS (Arthur Lubin)
STUCK ON YOU (Farrelly Brothers)
HANNIBAL RISING
SAVING FACE
SPIDERMAN 3
X-MEN
SHORTBUS
WORDPLAY (documentary)
AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH (documentary)
THANK YOU FOR SMOKING
THE MOTEL (Michael Kang)
BLADES OF GLORY
THE SIMPSONS MOVIE
TEKKONKINKREET (American/Japanese)
CAPTIVITY
THE WOLF MAN
PONKUTSU PARK (short)
FIEND WITHOUT A FACE
IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE (I admit it — it was my first time to see it all the way through!)
A CHRISTMAS STORY
A NIGHT IN CASABLANCA (Marx Brothers)
