Screwball/Romantic Comedies

Groundhog day was a really great film. I liked how he kept waking up to the same song on the radio every day trying to figure out what was going on and trying to find a way to get out of it. As time goes by and we don't know how long he has been living the same day over and over again it was funny how he was able to say when certain things would happen at any given time like when a dog would bark. He also uses this to his advantage many times throughout the movie. One of the best places we see this is when he walks up to an armored truck and knows when the guards would get distracted and is able to walk away with a bag of money. He uses this to find many ways to try and get Rita to fall in love with him and she keeps rejecting him. In the end we find that he just needed to be himself in order to get her.

Western

Once upon a time in the west in one of the best westerns I have seen in a very long time. I don't know what it is about it but it really appealed to me. Everything about that movie was just great. I think the music had a big part to play in the film. I don't know what the film would have been like without it. I found it interesting that the music for the film was actually done before the film itself was actually filmed. I found this to be very interesting because even though it was made before the film it seemed that the scenes and the music just went perfectly together. I also found the final showdown to be very intense. We finally figure out why Harmonica wanted to get revenge on Frank and where he got the harmonica from. We see Frank say "Keep your lovin' brother happy" and shuve a harmonica in Harmonica's mouth. It is then as the camera zooms out we see his brother is in a noose and Harmonica is the one keeping his brother alive. Frank has the same thing happen to him when Harmonica comes up and shuves the same harmonica in his mouth. It is at this point that Frank finally figures out who Harmonica really is right before he falls to the ground dead.
