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 Godson (1967)

And here I am, thinking that cold and distant films are my cup of tea... Well, now I know there are some kinds of teas that I just don't get yet or perhaps never will and therefore I don't need to keep trying them and bitter my day with their unpleasant taste. Cathy Rosier is divine, but that's all I got from this film. Delon (surprisingly) did not bring enough charisma for me to be invested into this empty film and fill it with my own life, as one usually does with empty films.
