Films That You Would Like To See But Feel Hesitant To.

I think having a certain set of pre-saved filters/search terms on pornhub would be more relevant for not being phased by the movie.

For me the 'dancing *******' is what I have never not bailed on. It might be the only scene from a movie I've seen multiple times (at least not relating to the unsimulated killing or harm of animals) that I can't not turn away from. Just unbearable.

Lol I used to be a member of Death.com. I have seen some wild *****.

Well pardonnez-moi, been some years since I watched it. Still remember not finding it very realistic and as a result not particularly unsettling though.

I will never understand this need to indefinitely postpone seeing a great movie. People know a grand piano might fall on their head at any time, right? Being in a constant fret about the fact that I am closer to dying every day has the great benefit of not pretending that I have an indefinite amount of time to watch these things. As soon as I hear something is great, and I haven't seen it, it's right at the top of my list. I'll watch it an hour later, if possible. That is, as long as that great piano in the sky hasn't been released yet.

Dregs of brain on the wall, who's the sickest of them all?

Look, I'm not judging you - after all, I'm posting here myself, but maybe, just maybe, if you spent less time here and more time watching films, maybe, and I stress, maybe your taste would be of some value. Just a thought, ya know.

It seems you are the only one here who truly knows me and accepts it. Lol

I think CR knows me too but I know he doesn't like sick films

I spent half of my childhood watching pictures and videos of the sickest stuff imaginable. Then I turned 16.

Also we talk in private and other means. We know each other pretty well

Cool beans. Me and @Swan know each other pretty well, too. I even kicked his bird rump the other day.

An excellent philosophy!

The only problem is; I could see some people adopting it and then asking themselves if they want to spend 2 to 3 of their limited remaining hours sitting indoors, in front of a screen watching a movie when they could be out making their own mark upon the world to leave a legacy (or perhaps doing something like skydiving) before it's too late!

Lolita is one i haven't seen and also something like it hot i don't know why but i keep putting off seeing films like that but there both in this film book i have with 365 movies that critic chris barsanti says you should watch before you kick it kinda of like a bucket list book for movies but i haven't seen but a few of them but the ones i loved that were in the book chinatown was one and i loved the hustler really solid for a movie about a guy who plays pool for a living election wasn't bad either that was also in there along with 20,000 leagues under the sea and etc.

I have never watched The Ten Commandments from beginning to end, but what I do remember about it is that it comes to a dead halt whenever Yul Brynner isn't onscreen.

I can't think of anything less consequential than making a mark on this world or leaving a legacy. And especially skydiving. What a bore!



Prop me in front of a movie. Or, preferably, my stereo system. And just let me expire in peace. I only want to be remembered as someone who loved the best in humankind--the art they made. The rest of the universe can do whatever it wants without any participation from me, thank you very much.

Well, I probably have 30 more years to live and movies ain't gettin' any better so I need some things to still watch.
I'm half joking but really, I am the type of person that likes to have things out there still to do. The anticipation and possibility is as good as having a thing sometimes, at least to me, and that runs in my family. A lot of things in this life "never match my sweet imagination".
Plus, I still watch so many freaking movies by most normal humans' estimation, and I still can't catch up. My queues are each like 200 movies long between movies I've never seen and movies I haven't seen in so long that I want to see them again, and I have like four or five queues.

I don't disagree with you in principle, when it comes to Legacy I just point everyone to Ozymandias, but I have too many things that give me pleasure to only do two of them. I play guitar and study music, I've recently taken up the piano, I like to get a little exercise just for how it feels, I live by a Park I like to walk in, I have some video games I like to play a lot, I have friends I like to spend time with, I like to eat in restaurants, and I also work ten hours a day on average. Plus, all this weed isn't gonna smoke itself. So even hitting the 31 movies in a month that I'm going to do this month, while also listening to a LOT of Jazz (and possibly some other music), and then write about them all too, man that is a tall, tall order.

Yeah, probably. But I never take probably terribly seriously.


And, first of all, it's not like you ever run out of great movies. Trust me. Once you sweep the obvious ones off to the side, there is still an endless pool of them. Believe.


But besides the overwhelming amount of great or good or at least interesting films out there to watch (which neither of us are even going to come close to getting to the bottom of), never forget about the power of a rewatch. Sometimes you need multiple rewatches of the great films to really understand their power. I don't even consider myself as having seen something until I've seen it twice. That's when it's fruits ripen. You need to allot time for this too. And by then you are just running on fumes.


Dude, just ****ing watch Citizen Kane.

I was mostly being facetious, except for the legacy shit. Because, while I think it is important for everyone to be as good to other people as possible, **** that nonsense. If you are worried about a legacy of good deeds attached to your name, you are worried about the wrong things. Just do the good deeds. Who cares about your name.



But I of course like things outside of movies and music and sitting inside of my house. I like animals. I like walking. I too have been dicking around on the piano and have found something, no matter how bad I am at it, that offers a kind of creative freedom I've never felt before. But now that I'm past my socializing and going to parties every weekend time of life, what matters to me rarely moves past the end of my yard. I care about the things I care about. And, while I hope everyone is taking care of themselves outside of the limits of my own life, I'm not going to pretend my empathy will save any of you. I've got movies to watch. And music to listen to. And stupid dogs to walk.

You don't want to watch Citizen Kane because you know that Rosebud was the name of his sled? Its not really like finding out what the ending of a whodunit is. I mean the meat is in the story of the guys life. Not this trumped up reason for the journalist to research it.

Interesting story: the Rosebud sled is an inside joke. William Randolph Hearst's pet name for his girlfriend Marion Davies was Rosebud (which was after a certain part of her anatomy) and a sled was a rude name for a woman you were having sex with. It was allegedly for this veiled insult to Marion Davies that Hearst went after Orson Welles, not his depiction of Hearst as Kane. Or so the story goes.

Another one I got the ending spoiled for a while ago was Vertigo. I accidentally got the ending spoiled for that one too. Luckily, I still have Dial M, North by Northwest, Psycho, and all of the other Hitchcock works to look forward to though. And because I knew nothing about Rear Window, I was in love with it when the movie ended because I had a good time with it and knew nothing beforehand.
