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.

USA/Germany

starring: Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter

-"I felt like destroying something beautiful."

I've had several long years to think about Fight Club and here's my verdict: I don't understand at all what this film is about. I liked the back muscles of Helena Bonham Carter and I liked the dresses she wore. I liked it when Brad Pitt wore the white shirt with orange-red maple leaves together with the khaki camouflage trousers. I really, really don't like Edward Norton and it's still hard for me to comprehend that a person with zero charisma has such a succesful carreer and a wide fan base. And finally, I don't like it when a film makes a voiceover its alpha and omega this way. Voiceover should offer a new, twisted and contrasting layer, and not be film's only layer.
