+12
I'm playing catch-up again, and there were several movies posted that I had previously seen in HoFs that I rewatched for this countdown, and a couple of movies that were first-time watches that I watched specifically for this countdown. And there was one movie that I loved so much that it made my list.
I watched Late Spring for a HoF a few years ago, and I liked it, so I rewatched it for this countdown. I still liked it after the rewatch, but it didn't make my list.
I also watched Das Boot for a HoF a few years ago. The only reason that I didn't rewatch it is because of the length of the movie. But I remember it being a very tension-filled movie, and I liked it. It might have even made my list if I had the time to rewatch it.
Ikiru is another movie that I watched for a HoF a while back, and I rewatched it for this countdown. I thought the first half of the movie was a little bit slow, but I the second half of the movie was much better, and I ended up liking the movie. However, it didn't make my list.
I watched Woman in the Dunes for a HoF a while back, but I didn't like it, so I didn't rewatch it for this countdown.
I watched Cinema Paradiso for this countdown. It took me a while to get into the movie, but by the end of the movie, I fell in love with it, and it was #11 on my list.
I also watched Amelie for this countdown. I liked the movie, but I found Amelie's quirkiness a bit annoying at times. This movie was on my list for a while, but it just got pushed off by other movies that I liked more than this one.
I haven't seen Andrei Rublev, Oldboy, Ran, and The Passion of Joan of Arc.
My list so far:
3. Wings of Desire (1987)
4. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)
5. High and Low (1963)
6. Run Lola Run (1998)
11. Cinema Paradiso (1988)
15. Sundays and Cybele (1962)
23. Diabolique (1955)
25. Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession (1973)
