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.

Well, that's two hours of my life I'm never getting back. They can try to beautify it all they want but it still is a garbage film about garbage people. I don't even care about what happens in the foreground, because the background is them treating women like some inferior entity and that, for me, is the real tragedy of this story. And besides not knowing why would anyone think that everybody needs to hear the voice of this "man" I got a migraine from listening to all those never-ending dialogues without absolutely any meaning. Nothing. Nada.
