Eurydice BA 2037 by Nikos Nikolaidis is the first film I added to my letterboxd watchlist. And I have not seen it yet. But it set the tone for my watchlist, which is solely a list of films that look interesting to me, that I will definitely forget the titles if I don’t put them somewhere. Anything I’ve heard of before, I leave off the list.
Mental watchlist… I have no clue but I have probably not watched it lol.
According to Trakt, Edge of Tomorrow… The reason is, I watch pretty much all the movies with my gf, and we add more shit to it… Hey, that is why this lists exists, isn’t it?
The Infiltrator
I apparently need to clean up my list. I use Letterbox now, migrated from ImDB a few years ago so the oldest all have the same “added to list” date.
That bucket of transfers from my old IMDB list include:
Timothy Chalamet’s Wonka - watched it already and forgot to log it
Drive - same
Borderlands - just released
Blade - new one as part of MCU, supposedly out next year but I’m noticing very few names attached to it
Project Hail Mary - not out yet
Wild - the idea of tiny Reese Witherspoon hiking with a massive backpack tickles my funny bone, just haven’t gotten around to it
All Quiet on the Western Front - I think I’ll have to be in a particular mindset to watch this and it hasn’t happened yet
Hush - will probably watch it in another month or two as Halloween nears, aka Mike Flanagan season
Les Diaboliques (1955)
Couldn’t find it anywhere, so it’s still at the top of the list.
There are many encodes floating around and even a full bluray copy (criterion collection) on ygg.re… but I’m curious, how come it’s at the top of your list?
Long time ago I wrote down a lot of movies to watch. I was able to watch many, but that one is the oldest in my list that I couldn’t find. Oh, and thanks for the pointer!
IMDB shows that you can watch it from a few places.
Inside Out 2
Dunno about first, but the top of the list is Zero Hour, as part of an Airplane! marathon
The oldest still on my watchlist since 2012 when I joined Letterboxd is Enter The Void. I’m just never in the mood for that one.
Oh I feel yeah on this one. I loosely attempted many years ago to watch it but only got about seven minutes in and decided to find something else to watch. Then five years ago, I put in a serious effort to watch it. Got to about the 25 minute mark. It was a heavy hitter drama movie and I just couldn’t bring myself to finish it. I might try to watch it, but it more now on my watch after ‘The List’ (of over 400 movies,) is completed.
I’ve got so many of those “could be interesting” semi-indie flicks that just always get pushed to the side for popcorn-faire when I do have some rare time to watch a film.
Godfather
Roswell (1994)
Not sure about first, but the top 3 that remain as the beginning are:
- Wonderwoman 1984
- The Guilty
- Searching
Threads (1984) by Mick Jackson
Not sure who recommended it to me, but IMDB says its about “[t]he effects of a nuclear holocaust on the working class city of Sheffield, England and the eventual long-term effects of nuclear war on civilization.” Didn’t have a lot of motivation to seek it out, but it has great ratings. Top review says “Very few films have the ability to suck the life out of a viewer and leave them feeling drained and shaken in quite the same way that this does.” Yeah, so I’m not sure if I will ever be in the mood for that to be honest.
it’s on youtube
imagine Shakespeare tragedy where everyone dies but as a narrated documentary. it’s freaking depressing…
as a brit raised on US apocalyptic films, it was genuinely jarring to see what looked like my home town undergoing a nuclear war in a realistic fashion.
Normally I watch these films and think “oh those poor people”, but this was the first I thought something else.
