August 2018 50 Movie Challenge

[cinemaphile]

Main Theme: Decades
5 movies each from 8 different decades of your choice.
Optional: You may opt to do just 5 decade categories and use the remaining 3 to make your own custom categories.

Recommendations Category: Family (or Family-Friendly) Movies (5 movies)
Watch 5 movies you haven't seen before from the titles recommended by other members. In your initial tracking post, everyone list 5-10 Family films you think others might not have seen and would enjoy. They don't need to be kiddie flicks (though they can be). Just anything family-friendly. Then for the ones you watch for this category, mention who recommended the film in your post.

Featured Category: Films from AFI 100 (or 1001 Films to See Before You Die) (5 movies)
First-time watches of films you've been meaning to see from either list (or a combination of both).
___________________________________

The Usual Fine Print:

• 50 movies is the goal, but based on your own time and situation you can shoot for more or less, so we have different levels from Coal to Platinum:
  60 movies - Platinum
  50 movies - Gold
  40 movies - Silver
  30 movies - Bronze
  20 movies - Copper
  10 movies - Coal
  <10 Movies - Why are you even on this site?
• If you're going to re-post your entire list every time, please hide it under spoiler tags.
• If you're going to post pictures for the films (poster art or Blu-ray covers, for example) please try not to use GIANT pictures, and if there are tons of them, again - please hide under spoilers.

The General (1926) 1/2

Buster Keaton really excells at this type of physical comedy. Excellent film that was easy to follow. The written descriptions were sparse but easy to read. I haven't watched many silent films of his. I'll have to try and remedy that.
