Some people want to be able to watch a movie “for the first time” all over again. Others want to forget a rubbish one. If you could remove just one movie from your memory, which would it be?
Eat Pray Love. My girlfriend asked me to watch it with her and it was shit. Oddly, she didn’t like Wolf Creek.
Crystal Skull for me… the first 3 Indiana Jones movies are near perfect, but all in different ways… but the thing that ties them together is action, adventure, a simpl-ish story, some treasure, and they are beautiful. I was so pumped for Crystal Skull.
I was away for work, had a free night and there was a cinema a stroll away. I got a 6 pack of wild turkey and coke and started walking only to find it was about a 90min walk… I was 6 turkeys deep but this was going to be magical, right? Nope, it was the biggest disappointment of a movie I have ever seen, then I had to walk 90mins back to my hotel reliving it.
‘a star is born’.
triggered back my suicidal tendencies so badly after 2 years.
Requiem for a Dream - Especially now, later in life when I see addiction in so many people in my personal life.
It is a powerful movie on the various ways addiction can take hold of your life, even with doctor prescribed medication.
That being said, unless you’re into the final scene with Jennifer Connoley, it’s not something you’d necessarily want to watch again.
Side note, if you did enjoy it and want a look into mental health issues in a similar lense, among other things, Pi is a great movie by the same guy.
Gravity.
Every day, Gravity.
