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.

The Terminator (1984)

USA/United Kingdom
directed by: James Cameron
written by: James Cameron, Gale Anne Hurd
starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Biehn, Linda Hamilton
seen on 27th July, 2014

Oh wow, it turns out I've been in love with Judgment Day for years without ever seeing the first one. It can get rather scary watching the eighties people doing the eighties things. But I did cry like a baby, the visions of future are quite impressive (sisters watching a fire burning inside a broken TV set!), Michael and Linda are beautiful together and Arnold is just a gosh-darn sweetheart. (And it's necessary to add that it takes special talent to convince me that synth music is great as quickly as Brad Fiedel did.)
