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.

The Lion King (1994)

USA
directed by: Rob Minkoff, Roger Allers
written by: Irene Mecchi, Linda Woolverton, Michael Baier
starring: Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons
seen on 6th January, 2019

The beginning is all pretty and impressionistic, but then of course it stops being that way and the animation becomes truly boring. The best song is naturally sung by the villain in a shroud of green smoke but I still cannot remember it after a few days, nor any other song from the film. I also don't think I'll ever have a need to hear any of them again. And what in the name of Shakespeare is with all those fart and burp jokes? The gothic child in me is greatly dissatisfied.
