This might help some of you with the guessing, since most of you are wrong.
I’ve previously seen seven of these.
Christiane F. - I had never even heard of this before it arrived in my inbox. This looks really grim and dirty.
The Fisher King - I’ve never seen this and comedies are often misses for me. It does have a good cast though so here’s hoping it’s an exception.
Gangs of New York - I see a few people guessing this was mine, but I actually didn’t like it the one time I saw it. I assume people are guessing me because of Leo? Or maybe because I was considering a Scorsese? I almost nommed a Scorsese but changed my mind when this got picked.
The Great Mouse Detective - I watched this once before (maybe for a movie tournament?) but didn’t like it. Maybe if I’d grown up with it I would’ve had a better experience, but it didn’t have nostalgia on its side.
Hunger - It looks like it could be good. I know a lot of people praise Fassbender and I think he’s a solid actor but he’s never blown me away. Maybe this will change that.
Jojo Rabbit - I watched this crazy ass movie a couple of months ago and thought it was very good, but didn’t love it. Maybe I’ll love it this time.
Late Spring - I watched this for a previous Hall of Fame and found it boring and thought the main character was annoying. I don’t expect that to change.
The Reflecting Skin - I typically only like vampire movies when they’re super homo-erotic and star Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Antonio Banderas so I don’t have high hopes for this.
Schindler's List - I love this movie. I think it’s absolutely essential viewing. However, it’s a really, really tough watch and it’s very long so I can’t say I’m really looking forward to seeing it again.
The Skin I Live In - I watched this for the Horror countdown and loved it. It’s super twisted and Banderas looks great in it.
Stand By Me - I don’t know if I ever saw this as a kid but I watched it several years ago and it just didn’t really resonate with me. I hope that changes this time around.
