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.

Lady Bird (2017)

USA
written and directed by: Greta Gerwig
starring: Saoirse Ronan, Lucas Hedges, Timothée Chalamet
seen on 5th March, 5. 3. 2018

There was a time in my life when I thought about what it would be like to kill myself every day and this film strongly reminded me of that, so it did something right to capture a certain episode of growing up, I think. For me, the most precious parts of the film were those short unimportant exchanges with background characters like Danny, that one cool girl, the brother's girlfriend, her dad. They were scattered amongs attempts to unite everything into one story and I found those attempts unnecessary because the overall story arc did not work very well in the end. But those unique details did.
