Matty C and Deborah in Marrakesh, Morocco

I’ve mentioned before that I have a family movie club that’s very important to me. My mom was quite taken with my recent post about my 13 films to get to know me. She was so intrigued by the exercise that she set to work on making her own list.

Now, the concept has become the next theme of our movie club. Each member of our club is crafting their own list of 13 films, and we will each share one flick from our list and discuss it with the group.

What Am I Making is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

I asked Deborah to share her list and a bit of context on each film. Thankfully, she was game, and is a wonderfully gifted writer to boot. I am so happy to be able to share this with you all.

Cheers,
Matty C

P.S. You may notice a bit of overlap in my list and hers.

Breaker Morant (1980)
