For reasons relating to comfort, relevance and the need not to see some things twice, here are some Films You Can Watch Only Once:
- This is England (I watched this just before getting on a train into Russia alone where I had never, ever been before. It did not lift my spirits or make me any less nervous, as anyone who has seen it will know).
- Passion of the Christ (We all know how this story ends)
- The Last King of Scotland (OW, OW, OW!! to the meat hook scene. Diiisgusting stuff.)
- Kes - (Too sad, too sad. That poor kestrel and his little Northern pal)
- Bad Taste (I didn't think I would ever see a film where someone drinks a bowl of vomit to fit in.)
- Battleship Potemkin (Russian propaganda in its finest form, but best for academic purposes. Hard work!)
- The Constant Gardener (Great film, needs only one viewing.)
- Don't Look Now (Actually, this is uncertain, because again, very arty and academic, but the ridiculous murderous dwarf is pretty watchable.)
- 3:10 To Yuma (Ungrateful little bugger, that kid is!)
- Return to Paradise (1998 version - This film enraged and engaged me for many many reasons, but the stooooopid love story ruins it's serious points)
- La Dolce Vita (Pretentious, intentionally, a bit too long also. But, I do realate a lot to Marcelo, even though he is a media-type ballbag.)
Films You Can Watch Again and Again:
- Wayne's World - (Both, either, all!!!)
- Sexy Beast - (Walkin' on the beaches, lookin' at the peaches.)
- Arthur - (I didn't know Dudley Moore could be so funny)
- Casablanca - (Oh, Rick, why did you do it?!?!?)
- Cabaret - (Every fashionista across the world owes something to Christopher Isherwood and Liza Minelli)
- Sin City (Assassins don't get boring!)
- The Jerk (HAHAHHAHAAAAAaaaa!!)
- The Darjeeling Limited (Beautifully shot, great soundtrack, amazing acting, relatable, gotta go back for more to think about things you didn't notice the first time around)
- Little Shop of Horrors (Feeeed me Seymaaw...)
- Gladiator (Ohhh, Joaquin Phoenix, you right bastard!)
- Bridget Jones' Diary (Sorry, but I am a girl afterall)
- Pretty Woman (See above)
- Casino (I hate Sharon Stone because she's such an embarassing idiot, but that room full of jewellery is amazing!)
