+11
I'm playing catch-up again, and there were a few movies that were rewatches and a few new watches in the last few movies posted, but only one movie of the last eight posted that made my list, (and one movie that I kind of regret not including on my list).
I watched Harakiri for a HoF a few years ago, and it was only okay for me because I didn't really connect with it due to cultural differences. I rewatched it for this countdown, and I liked it a little bit more, but not enough for it to make my list.
I had already seen The Umbrellas of Cherbourg a few years ago, and I loved it, and I also rewatched it for this countdown. I'm sure that it won't surprise anyone that it made my list, but it might surprise some people that it wasn't my top pick. It was #4 on my list.
I watched The 400 Blows for this countdown, and I liked it, but it didn't make my list.
In the Mood for Love is another movie that I watched for this countdown, and I liked it a lot. It was a strong contender for my list, but I just couldn't find room for it. This was one of the last few movies that I watched for this countdown, and it's a movie that might have made my list if I had watched it earlier, and I had more time to think about it before submitting my list. (This is the movie that I kind of regret not including on my list.)
Wild Strawberries is another movie that I rewatched for this countdown. I liked it after watching it for a HoF a few years ago, and I liked it after the rewatch, but it didn't make my list.
I tried watching Let the Right One In, but I only got about 10 or 15 minutes into it when I realized that it was a vampire movie, and it probably wasn't a movie that I would like, so I gave up and watched a different movie.
The main reason why I didn't watch Fanny and Alexander was because it's just too long, and I had a very long watchlist for this countdown, so I had to choose wisely when deciding which movies to watch.
I haven't heard of The Lives of Others.
