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.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

USA
written and directed by: John Hughes
starring: Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara, Jeffrey Jones
seen on 29th October, 2019

The visual gags were almost perfect (the pencils in the haircut, Jeffrey's run through a corridor, and a few others), the jokes made during conversations I did not like so much, and the attempt to tell a story (character development, capturing coming of age and "a desire for freedom) was a complete let down in my eyes.
