Let’s see if I can outdo 2023 … probably not but it’ll be fun trying.  

First of all, most movies on this list are not really bad. But they are not good either. In order not to bore you with every average movie I have seen I will restrain myself only to those of interest. That means you will find movies here that were successful at the box office but did not deserve that undue success or movies that did not stand the test of time. Other entries concern movies that are acclaimed by critics but to me are nothing short of being pretentious. Other titles could include films that were much talked about for whatever reason upon their initial release and therefore hold some kind of reputation that, however, do not qualify them for quality movies. You may also find movies here to which famous actors or directors contributed to but which are a let-down in the end nevertheless.

So, have fun browsing through my selection of the odds and sods of the movie world and let me know what you think.

PS: This list is by no means complete as I will add new worthwhile films as I stumble across them.

Classic era films with reporters and / or  newspaper settings Hard boiled reporters , and their Lois Lane counterparts - nineteen thirties staples in crime films , murder mysteries , and screwball comedies Films set around a newspaper office Films with photographers Films with Winchell like columnists - though these bleed over into radio films Foreign correspondents - mostly World War II , a few Cold War Not included - films about newsreel cameramen , of which there were several - Too Hot To Handle 1938 best example .
