What makes a Boston movie a Boston movie is quite subjective. I dare not lay out any specific criteria, for fear of inevitably breaking my own rules.
I believe a majority of people would agree on these six to start (ranked in the order of My Opinion at This Very Moment):
Good Will Hunting, Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone, The Departed, The Fighter, The Town
Two that I absolutely cannot leave off the list for personal reasons (in alphabetical order):
Boondock Saints, Celtic Pride
Minimal research this morning has yielded a final two, filed under New To Me, piquing my interest enough to peruse prices of used copies:
Monument Ave, The Verdict
***
Spring has sprung in Boston. Here's hoping that future posts are about jogging, beachgoers, the characteristics of a good walking stick...
and not being holed up inside.
Although I do love a good film, when the time is right.
