F is for Film

I love the letter F. Many of my favorite words seem to start with this letter: fuck, fornicate, freedom, flesh, fez, fiorde, fiacre, fleer, frusturbate. And it turns out the F films we watched were pretty good too.

Top billing:

• Fail-Safe — This was made at the same time as Dr. Strangelove?!?
• Fitzcarraldo — Damn, this is just a great film.

Good, but not great:

• The Freshman — Goofy, but fun.
• Friendly Persuasion — Quakers in Indiana.

Fair:

• The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T — Live action Dr. Seuss from the 50s.

Bad, but not terrible:

• Fathom — Raquel Welch in a bikini makes this watchable, barely.
