Introducing The Completist Project
What is The Completist Project? A core tenet of the We Like Movies blog is the very simple acknowledgement that movies are awesome. And while discussing favourites of a given year or the current slate of movies we're obsessing over is a lot of fun, creating this blog was meant to be a part of completing my cinematic education. Thus was born the Completist Project, a way to work through the full catalogue of beloved film artists, as well as discover new ones. Each season on the Completist, we pick a filmography and work our way through it. We pair or triple up the films as appropriate, looking for themes, links, or ways they noticeably don't go together. This is an opportunity not only to watch more movies, but to learn about the histories of these artists, situate the films within their respective careers, and discuss them in conversation with others within their filmography. From such lofty ambitions will hopefully come fresh insights, fun discussions, and engaging tensions....
