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.

Full Metal Jacket (1987)

United Kingdom/USA

starring: Matthew Modine, Vincent D'Onofrio, Adam Baldwin
seen on 30th June, 2009; commented on 29th November, 2020

-"I am... in a world... of shit." 

I did not understand why he made the film of those two distinct halves when I was younger and saw the film for the first time. Today I feel everything is exactly where it's supposed to be, from the shaving of heads to Paint It Black. To me, this will always be the best film about Vietnam war, and even though I generally oppose the idea of those "best movies ever made" lists, Full Metal Jacket should be on all of them.
