    I apparently need to clean up my list. I use Letterbox now, migrated from ImDB a few years ago so the oldest all have the same “added to list” date.

    That bucket of transfers from my old IMDB list include:

    Timothy Chalamet’s Wonka - watched it already and forgot to log it

    Drive - same

    Borderlands - just released

    Blade - new one as part of MCU, supposedly out next year but I’m noticing very few names attached to it

    Project Hail Mary - not out yet

    Wild - the idea of tiny Reese Witherspoon hiking with a massive backpack tickles my funny bone, just haven’t gotten around to it

    All Quiet on the Western Front - I think I’ll have to be in a particular mindset to watch this and it hasn’t happened yet

    Hush - will probably watch it in another month or two as Halloween nears, aka Mike Flanagan season

      Same dude. I just haven’t been in the mood to watch a movie with a ton of gunfights and death involved. It’s a more heavy hitting movie as well.

      What was the last movie you watched?

          I recently watched Alita: Battle Angel. I enjoyed it. Before that, I watched Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scaregiver. I had watched part 1 and actually found it pretty good. So I figured that I might as well get around to watching part 2, more in the sake of finishing what I had started. I did not enjoy part 2. I looked into what others had said about it and one of the dumbest ‘reports’ was that there might be a “Snyder Cut” for both parts coming later. Which I found to be extremely dumb if Netflix/Snyder had actually planned for this. Doubt it, who knows what the heck is gonna happen on this weird AF timeline we’re on.

    Watchmen. I planned on watching it in 2010 and look where we are now. Still haven’t seen it. I promise I’ll get to it… Haha.

    Threads (1984) by Mick Jackson

    Not sure who recommended it to me, but IMDB says its about “[t]he effects of a nuclear holocaust on the working class city of Sheffield, England and the eventual long-term effects of nuclear war on civilization.” Didn’t have a lot of motivation to seek it out, but it has great ratings. Top review says “Very few films have the ability to suck the life out of a viewer and leave them feeling drained and shaken in quite the same way that this does.” Yeah, so I’m not sure if I will ever be in the mood for that to be honest.

        as a brit raised on US apocalyptic films, it was genuinely jarring to see what looked like my home town undergoing a nuclear war in a realistic fashion.

        Normally I watch these films and think “oh those poor people”, but this was the first I thought something else.

    Apparently movie 43 is the only movie I’ve ever saved onto my google watchlist. But I don’t generally save my movies onto watch lists

    Eurydice BA 2037 by Nikos Nikolaidis is the first film I added to my letterboxd watchlist. And I have not seen it yet. But it set the tone for my watchlist, which is solely a list of films that look interesting to me, that I will definitely forget the titles if I don’t put them somewhere. Anything I’ve heard of before, I leave off the list.

    Les Diaboliques (1955)

    Couldn’t find it anywhere, so it’s still at the top of the list.

      There are many encodes floating around and even a full bluray copy (criterion collection) on ygg.re… but I’m curious, how come it’s at the top of your list?

        Long time ago I wrote down a lot of movies to watch. I was able to watch many, but that one is the oldest in my list that I couldn’t find. Oh, and thanks for the pointer!
