Sometimes I just get that feeling that no matter how much you watch you will not even cover 1% of all good movies in your lifetime.Sometimes I even get desperate, and want to switch my Netflix 3 to 5...
What caused it today was that Layer Cake post... by that nasty grits guy, no less! Next I am gonna admit I used to like grits, even after being married, so my wife made great ones! Anyway, I realized I was not familiar with some titles mentioned in the thread.
But back to the movies... is it not depressing when you look at a filmography of a good director, the one you think you know quite well, and realize you have seen 5 out of his 155 films?
It is... to me... big time!
But then... on the other hand... you know you will never run out of good films!
Life truly, truly is too short to be watching bad films!
Follow Ups:
Isn't it ultimately the same for music, perhaps even moreso. How much recorded music (that we would actually like!) is there that, in our lifetimes, we will never hear?As Jethro Tull once said, "Life is a long song, but the tune ends too soon for us all."
you of course don't need to answer . You are the most interesting film watcher on here in my opinion. Where did you get so much interest and knowledge and passion in the art of film?
I appreciate your nice comment, even though it is not really deserved - we have some truly wonderful people here, whose posts I enjoy reading, thinking how little I know about movies! People like Harmonia, tin, Patrick, and quite a few others... some of them post way too infrequently.I started early, back during my days in the USSR, where foreign films were among the few real things you could find, if you knew where to look... and got hooked quickly.
Surprisingly, the Soviets used to buy a lot of good films, so much of the classics you could simply see on TV - we bought our TV in 1954. Many of them, of course, were purchased because of their propaganda value - things like the Bicycle Thief, showing hard life of common people, Nights of Cabiria, etc... those were the days!
