Dagmar Versus 1001 Movies: January 2015

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.

-"Do you expect me to talk?" -"No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"

Yeehaaaw! I am making this sound because I'm not sure what kind of noise the Brits generate when excited. Oh, maybe I do know: Jolly good. The film is sort of slow compared to today's standards, but considering today's standards, maybe a slow piece is a good piece to watch from time to time. On the other hand, it's about a drunkard who rapes girls in piles of hay. Oh bugger.
