Happy New Year LAMBs! New calendars have been opened, watch dials have rotated another number and all our Letterboxd film tracking accounts have been reset for another year, so it must be time to announce the first Movie of the Month of our latest tour around the Sun. There has been a track record in the past that January’s winner is often, shall we say, not very good? That’s not...
It’s the holiday season! That means December’s Movie of the Month is, as usual. holiday-themed and, as usual, the winning holiday-themed film is only tangentially related to the holiday season (hello Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Gremlins, Batman Returns and Meet Me in St Louis). This time around the film in question might be vying with Batman...
It’s a new month, and that means it’s time to announce the next movie of the month! Five more films were in contention for November’s spotlighted film, but only one can win, and for this month we’ll be talking about… M*A*S*H!
Congratulations go to Todd Liebenow from the Forgotten Filmcast and Walt Sent Me for successfully championing M*A*S*H to victory, and as such he gets to put...
It’s October! Horror month! And with it comes the horror-special Movie of the Month. We made a special exception this month as Lisa couldn’t make it to her own previously winning show, which worked out in her favour because she’s won again! Hopefully she can make it this time as she’ll be hosting the discussion on this month’s winner… Cube!
Congratulations go once again to Lisa...
The August MOTM has just been released, but it’s September tomorrow so we need to move right along to the next movie of the month! The poll was only open for a week this time, but we still had a whole heap of votes cast for your winning movie, and for September we’ll be tackling our first martial arts film in the MOTM dojo. That’s right, the Movie of the Month for September 2021 is… Enter the...
It’s August! Another month, another Movie of the Month poll to determine our chosen film of focus for the next four-and-a-bit weeks. This year we’ve introduced a new special category for August, films predominantly not in the English language. A wide variety of nine films were submitted, votes were cast, and now it’s time to announce the winner. The Movie of the Month for August 2021 is… The Orphanage (El...
July was a bumper month for MOTM votes, with several of the potential champions doing a whole heap of campaigning for their particular film to be crowned the next winner. There were five options, and despite one being a timely action behemoth and another getting a lot of support online, it was Vern’s sheer, dogged onslaught of campaigning that led him to victory with almost half the total votes. The Movie of the Month for July 2021...
It’s time to announce June’s female-directed special Movie of the Month winner! Of course films directed by women can be championed any month of the year, but to guarantee at least one is in the conversation at some point every twelve months, we limit the films to only those directed by women for every June. Amongst this month’s options we had three very different horror or horror-adjacent films championed, and in fact they...
It’s time to announce May’s Movie of the Month! We get a lot of different types of films submitted for the Movie of the Month poll, but May’s winner is definitely the first of its kind to win. What its kind is though, I’m not quite sure, even though I’ve seen it before. This month, the film that received the most votes and which will have a Lambcast episode devoted to it is…...
It’s time to announce April’s Movie of the Month! As usual, April is a franchise special, and once again we had a very diverse range of franchises submitted, but there can only be on winner. The franchise that received the most votes in the poll, and which will have a Lambcast episode devoted to it is… The Thin Man!
Congratulations go to Howard from Rantings and Ravings and the Pop Art podcast for...
It’s time to announce March’s Movie of the Month! Once again, persistence has paid off as another serial contender continued to champion one film again and again (and again and again and again) until it finally won, so for next month we’ll be looking at… Once Upon a Time in the West!
Congratulations go to James from Blogging by Cinema-Light for finally succeeding in championing Once Upon a...
It’s Movie of the Month announcement time! For February we let Richard, the host of the Lambcast, make all the choices, because he has to endure the other winners for the rest of the year, and this time around he picked, shocking no-one, a bunch of films from the 1950s, 60s and 70s. You all voted, one of them won, and the film we’ll be celebrating in February 2021 is… Le Samouraï!
No congratulations...
