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

comment: 13th February, 2016

I never saw this film as a teenager, when it would be more relevant, but only as a pompous student of film art on the verge of my so-called adulthood. But perhaps it was better this way, because it was way too "in" when I was a teenager and that would be reason enough for me to hate it right off the bat, whereas later (and also after I've seen a lot of the films "Scream" is referencing) I was able to enjoy the parodic and meta side of things. Some of that "wink wink" was a little too simple for my taste, but the obvious love for the genre made up for it very nicely. Janitor Fred in a stripped sweater, for example, or the sentence "We all go a little mad sometimes." made my inner nerd trully jump in joy.
