Amy Welborn Podcast

  Amy Welborn participates in a podcast hosted by Chris Barnett on faith and culture. This past the season, we looked at film. 

Here's a partial list of the films we discussed and links to the podcast. 

Amy’s List to Date (go to his blog to see his choices).

I’m going to add notes here to other occasions I’ve written about these films, as well as my son’s takes, when applicable.

(20) The Best Years of Our Lives (William Wyler, 1946)

I thought – in fact, I would have sworn – that I had written about this somewhere, but I don’t see it. Anyway, here is Movie Guy Son’s take, with the very apt description of “noted plank of wood Dana Andrews.”

(19) The Third Man (Carol Reed, 1949)

(18) The Exorcist (William Friedkin, 1973)

I wrote about the reaction to the film at the other place – in the context of those post-Vatican II years.

(17) O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Joel and Ethan Coen, 2000)

(16) Dead Man Walking (Tim Robbins, 1995)

(15) Joe Versus the Volcano (John Patrick Shanley, 1990)

(14) Amadeus (Miloš Forman, 1984)

Me – a quick mention in the context of the latest David Copperfield adaptation. Another recent post mentioning the film. Movie Guy Son.

(13) Lilies of the Field (Ralph Nelson, 1963)
