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.

-"And that, as much as anything else, led to my drinking problem."

My parents grew up on this and that's why I knew many of the quotes way way before I saw the film itself or could understand some of them. And I am of course fascinated by the combination of seriousness and nonsense. (But I feel the need to add that there is a significant amount of moments where everything suggests a new gag or joke is on the way but then it does not happen.)
