[GinAndTonic]

what did you think of somewhere? i heard mixed reviews when it came out

I found it touching and I loved the atmosphere. But at the same time it lacks something to make it a great film. It's definitely worth the watch though.

 

[Festat]

Are we allowed to include television documentaries on our list? Cause I watched the Tom Daley doc for the BBC and I figured since I took the time to watch it (and because it made me sob throughout it ) and it wasn't like a miniseries it could count possibly. But I'm not sure...it feels like one of those grey areas. What do you guys think?

I think TV movies are okay... after all they are movies, just made for a different media.

Now an even ~grey-er~ area: will opera DVDs count? I assume not, since they're not actually FILM, but they are usually 3+ hours long...

172. Contagion (2011) - as if I wasn't ocd enough. But seriously, this was a excellent movie. Amazing plot, solid characters & the moral dilemmas & choice these characters went through, I don't think I would have the strength to face. Just as in the story, you don't know who you are or what you're capable of until catastrophe hits.. I highly recommend

I think TV movies are okay... after all they are movies, just made for a different media.

Now an even ~grey-er~ area: will opera DVDs count? I assume not, since they're not actually FILM, but they are usually 3+ hours long...

Well...technically it's recorded on film...so I guess I'd count it. It's sort of like those concert movies that some musicians have put out, they would count as a film, so why shouldn't an opera recorded as a dvd count too?

 

[blueorchid]

^ I guess it all depends on what you view as a film.

Like, for example, I would count a "rockumentary" as a film, but I wouldn't count an entire DVD filled with music videos as a film. Even if it would be the same length. I think non-fiction is kind of tricky for these lists. I wouldn't count those documentaries on PBS (American Masters/American Experience) as films either, but then I would consider those documentaries HBO as "official" films to list. Probably because the PBS ones are kind of an anthology. I think it just depends on who's counting.

Like I'm strict and I don't include re-watches period on my lists. But then I also really don't re-watch that many films either!

I made and exception for a rewatch because it's always like the first time with Wild at Heart.

 

[MulletProof]

^ I owe myself another watch of Wild at Heart. Love that you're making your own rules.. I'm making mine too , no repeats (so far) but I'm counting a bunch of things others haven't and then not counting some films just because (too bad/too confusing/too blah, etc). All quite the personal trip.

I'm halfway through the challenge and quite content, I joined mostly because it's been some years I have been neglecting cinema, not watching enough and then I'd watch whatever found me.. I wanted to be more selective, watch more documentaries, films being made in other countries.. not doing bad at it so far, I'm a little behind and the coming months are going to be difficult as I'll be super busy but I still owe myself someone's entire filmography this year (thanks to Festat for the motivational words!).. will probably go with Visconti ... and still hope to watch more documentaries, but they'll have to be pretty political ones after getting through Hustwit.
