Introduction

1001 movies you must see before you die. Must I? Let's see.

My name is Dagmar and I am from Czech Republic. I have a bachelor's degree in screenwriting. I study movies. I watch movies. I write about movies. I kind of mention movies a lot. I even cross stitch things I like in movies. My views on cinema could be described as peculiar. My views on the "1001 movies" list as complicated. It happens a lot that I get the feeling it wasn't that necessary to see some particular movies. Sometimes I'm really grateful I saw them. And there are also times when I don't watch any new movies for six months straight. And they keep adding new movies every damn year so I might have to never die to watch them all.

What's the score right now?
606/1245 - That's 639 left to see.
I started this experiment on July 3rd 2009 and the latest update was made on April 19th 2023.

Collateral (2004)

USA
directed by: Michael Mann
written by: Stuart Beattie
starring: Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx, Jada Pinkett Smith
seen on 29th August, 2009

-"Man, I don't know any Rwandans." -"You don't know the guy in the trunk, either."

Flavourless. Odourless. What was it about? I remember the expressionless face of Tom Cruise. I also remember him having it in films where he doesn't play expressionless people. Educated against his will. Who - the viewer, the driver. Night city? Nightmare.
