Day #2 of the 30 Day Film Challenge

It's Day #2 of the 30 DAY FILM CHALLENGE - a film you like that starts with the first letter of your name.

I've decided to go with my online name "shadowkat", you may do what you wish.

This has got to be among my favorite vampire movies ever. It's clever. And a kind of meta-narrative/meta-fiction on the whole vampire film and monster movie trope - before anyone else appeared to come up with the idea. The story is about the making of the film Nostrefratu (an unauthorized version of Bram Stoker's Dracula in Germany) with an actual vampire, which the director fails to disclose to the cast and crew.

Yeah, when I saw the prompt yesterday for today. I thought, nope. I'm not doing that with my real first name. If for no other reason than there aren't a lot of good movies to start with that letter and the one I thought of instantly is a good movie that I don't like! So I'll go with the first letter of my on-line last name (Cactus Watcher, two words even if they are run together on various accounts I have.) and pick not an old classic, but a more modern favorite of mine...Wonder Woman (2017)

Hee, you cheated - cactuswatcher is set as one word. Although I did think of one that starts with a C...Charade with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn (which just came to me, took me a while).

But Wonder Woman is a good pick.

I'll admit using the last name may be cheating, but, no, it was always two words that got mushed together here and on other internet platforms that either don't allow spaces or don't allow underscores or both. I was always Cactus Watcher on ATPo where you and I first met.

Well, to be fair - I did tell you that you could do whatever you wanted. :-)
