Iro's One Movie a Day Thread

→ in
Tools    





Welcome to the human race...
You heard me.

Rules:

#1. For a movie to count towards a particular day, it must get watched between 12:00 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. on said day. If I stay up past midnight then watch a movie, it counts towards the next day.
#2. Anything that qualifies as a film is fair game. The criteria will usually involve cross-referencing it with other webiste (Wikipedia, IMDb, etc.) but I daresay most of these examples will be obvious. Examples include short films, made-for-TV movies, etc.
#3. I won't count any film that I see during an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 because they generally get edited and (obviously) have the characters talking over them. Despite that...
#4. I am going to count instances of me watching a film with an audio commentary track playing. Chances are I'll have seen the film already (probably multiple times) so paying complete attention to the base audio won't be such a big deal. As long as the film gets watched, I figure it counts.
#5. Watching multiple films in the space of a single day won't count towards the "one film per day" requirement.
#6. Films I have watched for the first time will be highlighted in blue while films I am re-watching will be highlighted in red. Films with audio commentary will get highlighted in green.

Rating:

I give a base rating to all films, most of which is driven by subjective appreciation. A rough guide to what my base ratings mean:

- All-time favourite (or as close as any film is likely to get).
- Second-tier favourite, definitely excellent.
- All-around great film and highly recommended.
- Good film that's missing a certain something that makes a film great.
- Generally alright.
- Slightly more bad than good but still tolerable.
- Significantly flawed, but it has it moments.
- Generally boring. I don't like it at all, but I don't hate it either.
- All-around horrible, but doesn't inspire hatred the way a 0.5 does.
- No redeeming featuers whatsoever.

I may or may not do "camp ratings", as I have tended to do in my Movie Tab posts.

Expect the entries to start soon.

Well, I didn't actually make a movie a day thread. Just a thread to keep track of everything I watch so I don't forget about them. To me committing to watching a movie at least once per day sounds better than it actually is. I prefer having more freedom to do other things since I'm a pretty heavy gamer and I have other interests and hobbies like music and art. I hope it will be an awesome year though!

Hi, Iroquois, I don't think we've really interacted before. I like how you defined all your ratings. Not everyone has the same standards for ratings, so it's good to do that.



Welcome to the human race...
Well this is overwhelming... JacobKyon, Zotis, Swan and now you making a movie a day thread!

Something tells me this is gonna be an awesome year.
I've been meaning to do this for a few years now - I was originally inspired by TheUsualSuspect, who also started a similar thread a few years ago. I figured 2015 was the year to do it because I currently hav no major plans that would interfere with watching a movie a day. Like the concept of individual Top 100 threads, it's a really interesting challenge for people to do so of course a lot of people want to attempt it themselves.

I hear you on the whole rigidity kind of thing - eating your favourite food every day would get a little tiresome after a while, too. I do have several other non-film interests that this may drag my attention away from (and vice versa), but I think it'll be interesting to see if I am capable of pursuing such a goal, though I think setting aside around 90 minutes a day shouldn't be so hard in my situation. Also, yeah, I do like to define my rating system where possible. I do find the differences between rating systems to be rather interesting.



Personally I don't know if I've ever rated a movie less than 2 stars. If they're that bad I can usually tell before hand, and I just avoid watching them. I also don't like using 5 stars. I reserve that for when I find movies that I actually think could contend as 'The Greatest Movie of All Time.' And I would never make that kind of a claim lightly. That way when I do come across a movie that blows me away I won't have to give it 11/10 or something like that.

We've all got our own reasons though.

Well, good luck and I hope you make it through the whole year!



Welcome to the human race...
Thanks for the encouragement!

Having a two-star rating as the lowest point on your scale makes sense. I almost never stop watching movies because I think they're bad - a sense of completionism generally makes me keep watching until the bitter end. The only time I remember ever walking out of a film was Enter the Void, which was physically disturbing more so than a terrible film. I've also found that capping all first-time ratings at
helps keep the ratings balanced and prevents me from overrating films unnecessarily. I figure the kind of film that truly deserves a
or a
will earn that kind of rating over the course of multiple viewings and the passage of time.

That's an interesting idea. I gave a bunch of first time views 4.5/5 in 2014, and one movie 5 stars. When I re-watch them though, there is a chance their rating could change based on new insights, but it's a pretty small chance. I usually think pretty hard about it before finally giving the rating.



I'm with Iro in that I don't almost never give 5 star ratings on a first watch, much as I don't have films in my 100 that I've not seen at least 5 times. I also rarely give a rating less than 1, unless I really hate it.

Good luck with it, Iro. Any chance of you updating it every day?

#1 - Dead Poets Society
Peter Weir, 1989



Dead Poets Society is about a 1950s boarding school where the new English teacher (Robin Williams) and his unorthodox approach to teaching poetry ends up inspiring a handful of students to form the titular society (technically, to reform it because Williams' character started it during his high school years, but whatever). The consequences are altenately uplifting and devastating.

I have somehow never managed to watch Dead Poets Society from start to finish. The last time I tried it, I watched it all the way up until the last 15-20 minutes when the DVD glitched so I gave up and never got back to finishing it until now. Even though I knew how it ended anyway, I never truly counted it as being 100% "watched". Obviously, I've gone and rectified that. Anyway, as for what I think...

I remember liking it quite a bit on my initial attempt years ago, but watching it now...not so much. Williams definitely gives a strong performance here, with his character getting just enough depth to not seem like some one-dimensional cool teacher archetype. The central cast of male students that make up the titular society - that's a bit more debatable. One character's subplot involves his romantic pursuit of a cheerleader, which does play out rather questionably to say the least (dude, she's passed out/asleep at some jock party and her football hero boyfriend is about ten feet away, do you really think your carpe diem attitude is going to justify stroking her hair and kissing her forehead?) The main subplot, revolving around another character being inspired to try acting despite a fear of disappointing his strict dad, is familiar enough that I have to wonder if knowing how it'd play out would either make it more tragic or just signal how lacking in originality the script felt. Ethan Hawke's turn as a quiet, nervous student (a far cry from the sort of roles he's best known for), does have its moments, especially the scene where Williams forces him to make up a poem in front of the whole classroom, which is honestly a great scene in spite of it being instantly recognisable as the typical "scene where the shy kid learns to express themselves".

By this point, Dead Poets Society has seeped into the cultural consciousness enough that it feels like a parody of itself at times. It's got a handful of choice moments (as trite as it may seem, that final scene really does leave an impression), is amply aided by Williams' remarkable rendition of a fairly basic character archetype and the acting by the main characters is decent enough to sell their admittedly all-too-familiar character arcs (except in the very shallow romantic subplot mentioned above, of course). Am I likely to invest another two hours in another viewing? Probably not. Do I reckon people should see it if they haven't already? Sure, why not.

Where do you do your ratings, honeykid? I'm not sure I've actually seen you give anything a rating, hence why I'm asking.

As for updating it every day - well, I'll definitely try.



I always thought Dead Poets Society was overrated, Witness is the best Weir imo.



Welcome to the human race...
If I had to rank the Weir films I've seen...

Picning at Hanging Rock

Gallipoli

Fearless

Dead Poets Society

Master and Commander


The Truman Show is another one of those films I don't quite count myself as seeing since I never watched the whole thing from start to finish but I've seen enough to know what happens. I do want to see The Last Wave, Witness and The Mosquito Coast.



Great write-up, Iro! If you're going to give that kind of effort on a daily basis, this will easily be one of the best, most interesting threads to follow this year.

Dead Poets Society is one of those movies that I respect more than I actually enjoy. It's well-made, well-acted, well-written, etc., but a movie revolving around prep boys and poetry has a limited amount of appeal to me.

On the rare occasion that I rate them, I do it in the movie tab. I don't think I've rated a film for 3 or 4 months, though. I just haven't felt like it. JD gives me a nudge sometimes, but I don't like to just rate films. I want to say a little something, give a little something to it and I've just not felt like doing it lately.

#2 - The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult
Peter Segal, 1994



The third and final installment in the Naked Gun trilogy concerns Lt. Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen), now retired from police work and trying to start a family with Jane (Priscilla Presley), being dragged back into the fray in order to uncover a plot by a mad bomber (Fred Ward).

I wanted to like this. The original Naked Gun is a minor favourite thanks to its merciless spoofing of detective movies aided in no small part by every performer playing almost every moment completely deadpan. The sequel, The Smell of Fear, took a major drop in quality but I didn't hate it. I understand that few sequels to hit comedies ever live even slightly up to the standards set by the original film. This, on the other hand...well, look at that screencap above. That's our intrepid yet foolhardy hero being so sickened by (spoiler alert) the supposedly humourous revelation that the villain's seductive girlfriend actually has a penis that he immediately runs off and vomits into a tuba - while the tuba is being played. That's a very big decline for a film series that wrought comedy gold from car chases involving learner drivers and ludicrous fight scenes involving cabals of anti-American world leaders. Hell, the only reason that moment stands out is because it's the grossly unforgettable type of unfunny instead of the blandly forgettable kind of unfunny that permeates the rest of the film.

Unlike the first two films, the film seems overly dependent on directly parodying specific movies - films such as The Untouchables, Jurassic Park and Thelma and Louise are ripped on to less than stellar effect, and that's without mentioning the various cracks at the film industry made during the film's third act, which takes place during Oscars night. The film barely raises any sincere chuckles - the closest I came was the show-stopping number where Frank has to slide through a bunch of male dancers' legs and ends up headbutting each one in the crotch as he does. The usual Zucker-style mix of surreal sight-gags and bizarre turns of phrase abounds but barely any of them hit the mark.

Lately, I have been wondering if I rated The Smell of Fear too harshly and have been contemplating revisiting it. This, on the other hand, is a film I don't exactly see myself re-watching any time soon, if ever. At its absolute best it's a shadow of its predecessors that relies too much on copying particular films rather than entire genres - it's that kind of narrow-minded approach to parody that's led to the genre being oversaturated by films whose titles tend to follow the "______ Movie" format - if we're lucky. At worst (and I'll be honest, it's closer to "at worst" than "at best"), it's a complete and utter disappointment, and much like a spoonful of Draino, it'll leave you hollow inside.

#3 - Clueless
Amy Heckerling, 1995



Clueless is the the loosely-based-on-an-Austen-novel story of a Beverly Hills teenager navigating a variety of situations as part of her high school experience, often aiming to control and set up certain people for her own personal gain before numerous complications cause her to question her motivations.

This is apparently one of the key 1990s high-school movies and as such I was willing to give it a chance. All things considered, it's a fairly solid film. You can pick apart the various high-school stereotypes - the hopeless yet loveable burnout, the strict yet sympathetic teacher, the misfit who gets made over in the image of the popular kids, etc. - but they combine together in a way to tell a decent if familiar story. Protagonist Cher (Alicia Silverstone) makes for a sufficiently complex character beneath her "valley girl" exterior, while the various other characters get just enough development so that they don't come across as unsympathetic ditzes (though you could make a case for Jeremy Sisto's dickish popular boy being an antagonist, he doesn't really provide much of a conflict for the film as a whole). Actually, there's not all that much in the way of conflict in this movie; rather, it's a fairly straightforward coming-of-age kind of story for Cher as she learns the hard way that she can't control other people and also has a fairly predictable subplot unfold with her dickish yet likeable stepbrother (Paul Rudd).

While Clueless does serve as a worthy addition to the high-school sub-genre's canon, it ultimately feels like fluff. Pleasant fluff, yet still fluff. It's got a fair bit of sense to it and there are certain choice excerpts of dialogue, but as an overall cinematic experience it leaves a little something to be desired.




Clueless is one of my guilty pleasures, although I haven't partook in quite a few years. I think it is funny and a big reason I continued liking Paul Rudd and Brittany Murphy.

Clueless is Jane Austen's Emma. You want depth? That's all Emma is and that's why it's so perfect as a high school movie. I love Clueless, but then, I quite like Amy Heckling's stuff. I liked Vamps, for crying out loud.

Also, that scene in Smell Of Fear only stands out, if it does, because it's parodying The Crying Game and the reaction many nice straight, 'I'm not at all gay and you mustn't even think it' men had when they found out they'd been fancying Jaye Davidson.
