Thanks everyone for taking part in this it's a really great way to discover what others are watching as well as some new interesting movies.
As those which are in teal are worth to watch I'd like also to post a small list of 5 best movies from that list:
1. Winter's Bone(2010)
2. The Poker House (2008)
3. Like Dandelion Dust (2009)
4. The Hunger Games (2012)
5. Erin Brockovich (2000)

 

[Not Plain Jane]

Wow~way to go! You're done already. I loved Winter's Bone too. The book is a good read; I'd recommend it if you liked the film.

 

[Niusity]

^thank you! I've recently found out about the book and have just ordered it two days ago.

 

[YoninahAliza]

Congrats Niusity!!! Do you think you are going to continue to keep track now that you've gotten to a hundred? And I agree... Winter's Bone is AMAZING. Jennifer Lawrence definitely deserved all the praise she got for it.

 

[Niusity]

^of course I will! I hope it's ok because it's a great opportunity for me to not forget everything I've watched. Hope they're useful for you too guys.

As for all Winter Bone and Jennifer Lawrence lovers I highly recommand to watch The Poker House, I was amazed by her acting and the plot(based on a real story) was cruel but touching at the same time.

 

[YoninahAliza]

^Oh yeah...I think that's awesome you are going to continue to keep track of what you've watched. I really love this challenge because it's making me carve out time during my week to watch a film or two rather then just thinking to myself, "oh I'll get around to watching that eventually."

44. Psycho (1960)*
*Watched in my film class

I don't know why but I've always been a bit scared to see Psycho but I finally watched it in my film class. And it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. For some reason I thought it would be more like a slasher flick but it really wasn't, it was more psychological than anything else. And of course, Psycho is a testament to how influential and amazing Hitchcock is!

Also, I just discovered this new website to keep track of the movies you've seen called Letterboxd. It's less competitive and more fun looking than iCheckMovies. There's a "diary" feature where you keep track of what you've seen each day and rate it/review it.

I saw this too. Seems promising, but I haven't spent much time there.

Were you able to import from ICM? I'm also on that site, but I'd rather not re-do everything.

 

[blueorchid]

No, I wasn't, I think you can only import from IMdB, which I don't have an account on for some reason. I'm just kind of going through random lists and checking stuff off from there slowly.

[Niusity]

101. The Interpreter (2005)
102. The Help (2011)
103. Water for Elephants (2011)

The Help was soooooooo good, guysto everyone who haven't watched it yet, it's really worth to. It absolutely desearves all the awards and I'd even give an Oscar to Viola Davis.
The Interpreter is a great political thriller, especially for those who like politics and stuff like that(like me)))

[YoninahAliza]

^How did you like My Name is Khan? I've herd great things about it. I'm actually in the middle of watching another Shah Rukh Khan film, Chak De India!, right now! I've watched a few Bollywood/Hindi films over the years and I really enjoy them. So does anyone else have suggestions for good Indian films that I can add to my list?

 

[emilylin]

^ that's a really great film, just like 3 idiots!
I've watched some bollywood films, and I recommend all to you!
Rang De Basanti (must watch!)
Like Stars on Earth (kind of like My Name is Khan, but I think this is better)

 

[YoninahAliza]

^Thanks Emilylin! I'll add those ones to my list of films to see. One good "starter" Indian film that I like is Bride and Prejudice. It's actually a British directed and produced film but I think it's a good introduction to Indian films. I mean, it has Aishwarya Rai in it! And it's one film I show my friends if they are curious about these types of films. Also, Monsoon Wedding's really good, and it's probably another good film for people just getting interested in Indian films to watch.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

^ Yes, I'd say Rang de basanti for sure. Devdas and Veer-Zaara, of course. Main Hoon Na, definitely Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and I am sure there are others I cannot think of right now.

 

[YoninahAliza]

^NPJ, you always have good suggestions! Now I just have to find the time to watch them all! I finished watching Chak De India and I have to say, I totally understand why pretty much everyone love Shah Rukh Khan. Such a gifted actor.
