Comedy Month (2025) – I Love the 80s

You either think the 1980s was a great era for comedy movies, or you’re wrong. Especially the comedies of the mid-to-late 80s. It’s mostly thanks to John Hughes (RIP), the king of feel-good 80s and 90s films, and John Candy (RIP).

For Comedy Month (2025) I picked a couple of my favorite John Candy and Tom Hanks 80s comedy movies and threw in a Richard Pryor film. Watching these movies has me missing John Candy. There will never be anyone comparable to that man. The same goes for John Hughes.

With that said, here is the list for Comedy Month (2025), most of which are probably among my favorites from the 80s.

Groundhog Day - Phil and Phil

For Drama Month (2025) all the selections are biopics. I’m a sucker for a good biopic ranging from presidents, mafia figures, sports stars, and serial killers. A couple of those are among the selections this year. The special event movie for the month is Groundhog Day (“again”).

There are many great biopic movies out there and February is a short month. Picking among so many is difficult. Check out this year’s list.

SciFi Month (2025)

Alien spaceship in a field

Here we are, at the start of a new year, and we kick things off with Science Fiction movies. Although aliens are the central theme of four of these films, I didn’t go with a specific motif this year (although I already did an alien-themed selection last year). I just picked movies that I’ve wanted to see or movies I haven’t seen in a while. Be that as it may, here is the list, so you can skip around if you want.

Christmas Movies (2024)

Christmas is my favorite time of year and probably the month when I watch the most movies, including May when I watch all 11 Star Wars movies.

As always there are default movies that I watch every year. For any movie that doesn’t appear on the “default” list, I will write a short review as I’ve been doing for all the previous months.

Let’s get started.

Random Month (2024) – James Earl Jones

James Earl Jones

Earlier this year we lost the legendary James Earl Jones (93), the voice of Darth Vader. Therefore the selections for November all have James Earl Jones (minus Star Wars). There are so many to choose from because he shows up in so many movies in minor roles. In fact, I don’t think I own or have seen, a movie where he is in the starring role. Be that as it may, let’s check out this year’s list for random movie month.

Halloween Month (2024)

Grogu pumpkin

October is the month for scary movies and candy. Hopefully, I indulge more in the former and less in the latter. However, I’m not a huge fan of scary movies. I’ll watch films that are maybe a little eerie, absurd, or fun but I generally avoid slashers and the deeply disturbing. The occasional thriller isn’t bad. Just like movie selections for Christmas, there will always be default choices. At any rate, let’s get on with the list.
