Dagmar Versus 1001 Movies: May 2016

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.

Is this overembellished and unextraordinary combination of childish humour and "brutal" violence really the film that had everyone on their asses with their mouths open last year? Why would a collective of american film critics subject everyone to this film before they die? Of all the comic book adaptations and sci-fi films and a-lot-of-dialogue comedies in the world, why this one, god damn it? And I must also solemnly swear that the proposed magical powers of Chris Pratt don't work on me. And I agree with a random opinion I read online that this film is made for people who cannot hold their attention for more than two seconds.
