I talk about movies; books; writing; travel; fountain pens; and photography. As time goes on I will talk about television and streaming, inks and paper, and bargain-hunting. I occasionally talk about the people who talk about these things. Once in a long while I might go off-topic.

Bookman's 101 Favorite Movies
![]() |
Lee J. Cobb as Juror number 3 in 12 Angry Men (1957) |
Bookman's 101 Favorite Movies is a 28-minute, 20-second screenshot video with all 101 movies, more than 300 screenshots, and rousing, familiar theme music from six of those movies. Additional music accompanies the closing credits that will keep you glued to your seat. These are my favorite movies, not a collection of the greatest films ever made. I applied only one criterion to the movies that made the list. They had to be movies that, if any of them came up in conversation, I would exclaim, "That's one of my all-time favorite movies!"
