Your husband getting checked in for Alzheimers and then falling in love with someone else, that sounds like one of the sh'ittiest things someone could ever go through. I'm also not alone in my accessment on Blue Valentine, those who have seen it have said it's not an easy movie to watch, due to its highly depressing depiction of a relationship gone bad.
I also said I think all of these movies look good, but for one reason or another I won't get to right away.
Your choice, but you’re missing 2 excellent movies. Both are nowhere near as dark as you’re imagining.

Can’t believe you’ve never seen this wonderful film. Seen it many times.

He won best director for Saving Private Ryan as well.

I said I won't get to them right away, not that I never will watch them.

There's been 431,177 feature length films made, according to IMDB. No one can watch all of those. So watch what you want.

I never said that you will never watch them.

That's what I thought you meant by "missing 2 excellent movies".

This convo has gotten drawn out a bit too much, hopefully we now understand each other.

I saw it in the theater with a friend who was Jewish. I was TRYING not to cry. It was the one time leaving the movie theater felt like leaving a church after a funeral - everyone was silent.

I'll try to watch all of them, especially the difficult ones.

⬆️ Tarr’s Sátántangó is one of my favorite movies. Definitely not to everyone’s taste though.

Obviously one doesn’t have to be Jewish to be profoundly moved by Schindler’s List. Very much Don’t send to know for whom the bell tolls. Many races & nationalities were in the death camps as well as gypsies, gay people, mentally handicapped people, POWs of different nationalities, et al.

I know, but the movie talks a little bit more about Jews than other kinds of people the Nazis terrorized, at least from what I remember.

I have seen it. The problem with slow cinema is that it requires more patience. Satantango pushes the envelope a lot, but it's close to perfection.

I don't know if I'll ever get around to seeing Gone With the Wind, Citizen Kane, or Casablanca.

Re: Great movies you might never watch.
 
A lot of horror films out there I prob won't watch because I'm not a big horror fan. I can watch some, but am not crazy about the genre.

Having said that, I might post on John Carpenter, Wes Craven and/or Sam Raimi threads, as I do want to watch more of their stuff.
