The Movie House - Part 7

I've watched 1868 movies from what I can gather. If you want to make lists I'd recommend using Letterboxd instead of IMDb. Much easier to use for that purpose.

I'd say I have seen around 150-200

Can you explain why do you recommend it?

And regarding the number of movies, I am highly pretentious before watching a movie. Probably exaggerated at times. I usually watch only what I believe it will be a good lesson for me in the end and a very beneficial experience.

Concerning most of the bad movies from my list, I've seen them in special circumstances or when I was a kid, probably at TV.

I am pretty sure that from a list of 1868 movies, at least 35% of them would be by my personal standard a waste of time. And I hope you don't misunderstand me. I don't believe it has something to do with anything related to intelligence, refinement or other stuff. It's all about patience, how we invest time and other factors that influence us to pick a movie and just watch it.

I kind of felt at first that 541 is much less compared to 1868, but I explained all this because I still think that I can consider myself a movie addict.

I have to leave now! Thanks for the help, RG! Much appreciated!

It's much easier to search movies you've seen than an IMDb list. You can mark them quickly and then search all the films you've seen by a bunch of categories.

It's also a social media site with a bunch of lists and reviews recommending films.

I watch a lot of "shit" movies. I don't hide that. I love watching romantic comedies as a guilty pleasure. Think I've watched all of them by now. At least after 2000.

Villenueve doesn't make less than 8/10 movies.

RG, Now that you are done with Fincher I would recommend watching his work.

Incendies
Enemy
Prisoners
Sicario

I'll see. Need to watch few others first.

Won't watch Sicario but the other 3 looks good

Why not Sicario? If you should skip any it's def Enemy.

You don't remember? I watched 30 mins of it before quitting. I hate drug cartel related films. Can't stand them.


Enemy has Gyllenhaal tho

Don't skip any please. Prisoners also has Gyllenhaal.

I can't wait for your reaction when you watch Prisoners. Favorite movie of that year for me.

Watch Prisoners first. then Enemy and Incendies. And by the time you finish you're gonna wanna watch Sicario as well.

Nah he needs to sprinkle in some comedy. Not exactly light films

Meh not really into comedy films. Although I was just thinking about rewatching Euro trip last night.

They don't make films like that anymore

Not into comedy? Pls

Early 2000s comedies are The GOAT years imo. Endlessly re-watchable

Freeza have you seen Hot Rod?

Some years ago. Don't know how much I liked it. Remember it fondly though.

So apparently John Turturro is currently filming a spin-off with his Big Lebowski character.

RG should go a Scorsese run IMO

Is Hugo worth a watch? Been sitting in my list for way too long.

I loved it. It's a great and enjoyable introduction to filmhistory.

Ya definitely


Alfred Hitchcock is one of the GOATs apparently but his films are like ancient
