The 100 Movie Challenge (2012)

[MulletProof]

^ oh man I'm super scared of watching what you watch, especially the ones you recommend .. but I'll make an effort and start with 3 Women, Sissy Spacek's in it, how disturbing could it be?


Now we just need strawberry_daiquiri to join us (or come back to tFS!).

This sounds like a fun thing to try! I think I'm more likely to read the 50 books than to watch 100 movies, but one can always try. I'll try to remember post here from time to time and update my list.

I think my own personal challenge this year is to watch more non-english language movies, maybe around 5 in finnish and around 15 in any other than finnish or english.

my list so far:

1. The King's speech (2010, dir. Tom Hooper, country: UK)
2. Sleepy Hollow (1999, dir. Tim Burton, country: USA & Germany)

 

[Teja]

01.The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)

 

[mint condish]

I don't remember what / if I watched any movies the first week of January. Oh well. My ratings are always out of 5.

1. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (4)
2. Knocked Up (4)
3. Moneyball (4.5)
4. The Help (3) Loved Jessica Chastain
5. Margin Call (3.5)

11. Our Hospitality (1923)
12. Sherlock Jr. (1924)

14. Soy Cuba (1964) - Do NOT miss this one! But first watch Cranes are Flying and Letter Never Sent to see the artistic progression of the director and cinematographer.
15. Baron Prásil (1961) - Proto-Gilliam fun from Czechoslovakia

Any korean movie buffs here? a friend recommended me a bunch that I´m going to try, specially from OldBoy´s director.

 

[kokobombon]

^I'm up for that, a themed week or month... what does everyone else think ?

I think it´s a good idea
Also, since there are people from so many different places maybe they could recommend movies from their countries?

 

[Niusity]

Are series and miniseries also considered for the challenge?

 

[kokobombon]

^I think we could include miniseries, don´t you guys think? series maybe not, cause they´re usually 13 or 22 episodes long...

Miniseries I´ve seen:
23-Great Expectations

 

[adorefaith]

i forgot one..

06. silent light [very much worth seeing imo.]

07. cafe de flore [not flawless but also worth seeing, i think]. vanessa paradis is brilliant in it.

 

[MulletProof]

...

9. Jodaeiye Nader az Simin | A Separation (Iran 2011)

[Child_in_time]

(I watched the last part of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and it's such a great movie, Jack Nicholson is a really brilliant actor, but I'll have to watch it again from the beginning to count it in.)

 

[kokobombon]

24-The Muppets (2011)
25-Cars 2 (2011)

I included a mini-series (The Staircase) in my list.

 

[adorefaith]

07. cafe de flore [not flawless but also worth seeing, i think]. vanessa paradis is brilliant in it.

08. a better life [i don't remember the last time i cried this much in a film..]

 

[MulletProof]

I know!!.. it's 50/50 between A Better Life and Hachiko for me. I'm so glad I watched it home, I would've looked so ridiculous sobbing outside the theater.
