Roman Holiday

This film was part of Turner Classic Movies’ 31 Days of Oscar this year. I have never seen Roman Holiday before but it’s one of those films that comes up in conversation every once in a while. I wasn’t really sure what I was going to think about this film and, to be honest, I thought it was going to be boring. Wow, I was wrong. This film was so good. It’s more funny than you would expect and I enjoyed the chemistry between the two lead actors. The film moves along and the story is engaging. Of course, the fact that it was filmed in Rome helped me to enjoy it more. I would suggest that you rent this film if you haven’t seen it yet and, if you have seen it, post your thoughts in the comments.
Netflix has announced that they will be discontinuing HD DVD support sometime this summer. Because of this fact, I have moved all of the movies on my queue that are available in HD DVD format up to the top. Some of these movies would normally not have made it to the top of my queue for at least half a year. I’m motivated to get through these movies before they are discontinued. I think there are only about 25 of them, so it shouldn’t be too difficult. Anyway, just thought it was worth mentioning here. I can’t stress enough how much I hate the fact that HD DVD lost the format war, but what are you going to do? Maybe I’ll do some reviews of these films I have to watch… we’ll see.
