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.

-"I don't wanna survive. I wanna live!"

I very much appreciate the immaculate and precise combination of probably the most cynical and the most naive stuff american creators can risk putting in a film "for children". Despite WALL-E being that kind of protagonist who is so nice that he's almost boring, one has to admire his ability to inspire and gently point the humans and robots alike towards self-awareness and self-realization. Perhaps WALL-E himself is not important so much as an interesting (or uninteresting) character, but rather as a personification of ideas explored in the film narrative. So I grew to like him and the film and of course I cried, mainly when Also Sprach Zarathustra started playing.
