Theme Week Wrap-Up (Week 5)

Theme Week Wrap-Up

Ray Liotta Tribute Week

Hello dear visitors! This is my Ray Liotta tribute week wrap-up. I was really happy with the last 2 movies we watched with Ray, finding a fantastic indie cult classic from the 80's and a somewhat hidden gem from 2016.

Top Pick of the Week Something Wild (1986) A fantastic indie cult classic from the 80's that's hard to categorize.

Ranked Board

Below is our movie list, ordered from best to worst. I wouldn't mind continuing to watch Liotta's movies, but tomorrow I will have to announce a new theme for next week and move on.

#1 of the Week

Something Wild (1986)

A fantastic indie cult classic from the 80's that's hard to categorize.

Sticky Notes (2016)

A somewhat hidden gem from 2016 that pleasantly surprised us.

It was good to reminisce. I recommend watching the Making Of I posted in the review to see the amazing architectural work involved.

It was OK. It wasn't boring, at least.

Article 99 (1992)

Also OK. Not a boring watch to finish off the week.
