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 Favourite (2018)

Ireland/United Kingdom/USA
directed by: Yorgos Lanthimos
written by: Deborah Davis, Tony McNamara
starring: Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz, Nicholas Hoult
seen on 30th March, 2019

After "Mad Max: Fury Road" I was convinced that Nicholas Hoult should only walk around with his head shaved and obviously I was wrong. I've always hated Emma Stone and here it's put to a wonderful use. Olivia Colman is a goddess. Curiously enough, I have no desire to comment on Rachel this time.

It's nice to see that Lanthimos does not repeat himself when it comes to his filmography, although he may repeat himself a bit when it comes to this film alone.
