Lost in the Movies: #WatchlistScreenCaps, 8/6 (Bosko edition)

#WatchlistScreenCaps, 8/6 (Bosko edition)


Here are the last ten films I watched (all of which happen to be cartoons starting the early Warner Brothers character Bosko), with a screen-captured image and quick sentence on the subject. Follow this feature on Twitter here, read about the kickoff here, and see all past #WatchlistScreenCaps here. Links below are to my post on the film in question.

(A few years later when re-sharing #WatchlistScreenCaps on Tumblr, I came across information about the character's racist backstory which I detailed here - an unfortunate postscript that bears mentioning.)

Ralphspic.com should get a copy of 'extreme shorebreak' for Ralph's pic of the week! 'Psycho' made me think of Vertigo.

There's another surf pic mixed in here, with Goofy on a longboard in Hawaii (it's in either the "Mickey Mouse" or "Mickey Mouse Technicolor" post).
