Warning: spoilers ahead…not that it matters.

I’m going to be honest here. I was not looking forward to this one. I’ve challenged myself with remaining open-minded. Willing to not pre-judge any of the movies I’m going to watch. But I had seen this one before, and I remember disliking it. A lot. Even with the wine. I figured this time I would be watching sober, thus making it more arduous.

Movie Night!

Movie Night: “Wings” (1928)

Posted on May 13, 2016November 14, 2017 By Drew

Kicking off my journey through the list of Best Picture Winners is 1927’s “Wings”. Until 2011, this was the only silent movie to win Best Picture. Silent movie is a bit of a misnomer though, as this movie has soundtrack playing throughout the feature. The story revolves around two small-town rivals, the local rich kid and the average Joe, both in love the same woman and who flying against the Germans in World War I. This was the first time I had seen this movie.
