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.

Big (1988)

USA
directed by: Penny Marshall
written by: Gary Ross, Anne Spielberg
starring: Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Perkins, Mercedes Ruehl
seen on 25th March, 2019

Of all the possible stories that would offer themselves with this kind of premise they had to go with the one that did not offer itself, a romance with an adult woman. O my god. And I hear the director rejected an idea to make the main protagonist female stating she could not realistically see a relationship between a thirty-five-year-old man and a twelve-year-old girl. Well, kudos for this completely acceptable realistic alternative then. Oh my god.
