When (if) I see a movie from this list it gets moved to my 'LiL Movies' list (providing it qualifies, of course).

Wish List

1,329 titles | Public

Under construction!!!

My improved (slighty changed and expanded) list once titled '1001 Films I'll Never See' I made/posted at another film site many moons ago (in 2007, I believe).

Wise people say 'Never say never' so I simply renamed it to My Wish List.

For now I'm doing only *5 films per director*. Otherwise this may become waaay too long (something like '5,000 films I'll never see').

So, I'm not happy until I hit the 1,001 mark, tee-hee...

Note: A film has to be at least 10 years old to be 'eligible' for this list (the most recent cinema might still be circulating on some TV channels).

Important! My very humble request to readers. If you ever find (come across) any of those titles on some streaming sites (online film watching is my only option these days) please DO send me a quick note (or better yet the link) via PM (or as a reply here). And yes, while not 100% necessary (at the end of the day I might prefer watching some very rare films without any translation than not seeing them at all) are English (or German) subs pretty much a requirement (ie VERY welcome).

Thank you millions in advance.

Dicht hinter der Tür (1984)

Beautiful film

13 June 2004 - 10 out of 12 users found this review helpful.

No one will probably ever read this, but the film deserves some praise. (Well, it got some awards, but no one noticed).

But first of all, about the author. His real (correct) name is Mansur MADAVI. He is from Austria and I have had a real privilege to see three of his films. 'Dicht hinter der Tür' is a beautiful example of film making, that is 'telling something with images'. This is (the 7th) ART. Words cannot describe such film, you should see it and feel it.

For me this film is a Cinematic masterpiece (and I don't consider many of proclaimed films to be masterpieces), a unique experience. If you like Tarkovsky, Bergman, Parajanov..., you'd probably like this one, too. I recommend it to all TRUE film lovers around the world, although it can be classified as " a masterpiece you will never see" (not in the US, and even in Europe there is a little chance - maybe in the Cinématheque, if you're lucky enough to live close to one).

Castle Keep (1969)

Unique film about war years ahead of its time!

10 October 2003 - 28 out of 36 users found this review helpful.

Unusual (more realistic - and surrealistic - than in other films) point of view on horrors of war, good directing and a strong cast. I liked this film very much when I saw it about 25 years ago in the Cinématheque (long live Yugoslav and now Slovenian Kinoteka). Unfortunately, the copy wasn't as good as the film itself. There were some missing parts so I'd like to check out this one again.

What good movies Sydney Pollack made in his early days! I highly recommend his Slender Thread, The Scalphunters, They Shoot Horses..., Jeremiah Johnson and this one. Very unusual films for Hollywood standards, very brave, and as it seems timeless.

In an interview Mr. Pollack once said that he thinks Castle Keep was way ahead of its time. The audience wasn't ready to cope with such a look at war. I wonder if it is ready now? Castle Keep recommended to all non-formula film lovers around the world.

9/10

Bye Bye Braverman (1968)

What a Delight!

24 September 2003 - 6 out of 8 users found this review helpful.

Like the other comments say - a wonderful movie. Everything is first class - screenplay, actors and, of course, the direction.

This was one of the first Lumet's movies I have seen and I was amazed. From then (it was in the '70s) I have seen his 19 films and he never let me down. The list of his really great films is extremely long (maybe nobody in America's movie history made so many excellent films): 12 Angry Men, The Fugitive Kind, The Hill, The Pawnbroker, The Seagull, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Equus, Network, The Verdict... and this Braverman. Not to mention that I haven't seen some of his reportedly good ones, too.

I highly recommend this and other mentioned films of this great director. (Still wondering why he hasn't got any Oscars for his work - maybe his films are far too intelligent for American taste, LOL).

Thank you, Mr. Lumet. It was my pleasure! 9/10

The Godfather (1972)

And Now for Something Completely Different!

20 September 2003 - 1 out of 2 users found this review helpful.

I saw this film (at the theater) as a kid in the 70' upon its initial release. And, of course, was impressed. Marlon Brando is my favorite actor and I like all other actors in the film. Everything in this movie is just great (anybody noticed Gordon Willis' work?).

I can understand why all the fine young Americans consider this to be the best movie in the history. It's American (it seems that nobody knows that cinema exist "also" outside the USA, in fact a 100 years of great art of film-making), it's "kill-kill-kill" (main theme in American movies), it's about family (another main theme), it's entertaining (nothing to think about, let's go to the movies, have fun, popcorn and stuff) and so on.

The fact is that The Godfather is a great American movie for Americans. I like very well made films and I like this movie, but it is still "just" a MOVIE.

If you are among those who consider this movie the best in the history, you should start watching the real great ones, masterpieces that can teach you something about yourself or even change your life.

Ever heard of Kurosawa, Bunuel, Tarkovski, Bergman, Fellini? Not to mention American directors (if you hate 'foreign' films, forgot to read subtitles etc.): Welles, Kubrick, Altman, Lumet... And the Japanese (Ozu, Mizoguchi, Kinugasa), Chinese, British (Schlesinger, Russell, Parker, Greenaway) and so on and so on.

Please, go and educate yourself. Your mind, heart and soul will thank you for that. All you need is to be curious and open-minded.

I consider myself lucky to have a chance to see at least 100 'better' films (in every aspect) than The Godfather. And I have still a long way to go. Good luck to you all in your 'search' for the art of cinema.

My vote for The Godfather: 9/10.

The Dresser (1983)

Hats off to all included!

9 September 2003 - 24 out of 28 users found this review helpful.

A fantastic cinema experience. I really enjoyed seeing this truly magnificent film in the theater when it came out. There is nothing to add, except that is a terrible shame that sir Albert Finney still isn't accepted by the AMPAS (American Academy). After roles in such films as Tom Jones, Murder on the Orient Express, Under the Volcano (to name only few - for these he was nominated for the Oscar), The Dresser is arguably his highlight, yet...

I know, Oscars are just a popularity contest, but if Americans like British actors and actresses ("and the Oscar goes to" Jeremy Irons, Daniel Day-Lewis, Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, Glenda Jackson etc. - and they all deserved the award!), why they always left Sir Finney with empty hands?

On the other hand, they gave it to John Wayne and Marisa Tomei (in My Cousin Vinny). I don't know, should I laugh or cry?

If you have seen the two leads in The Dresser you won't forget what is the art of acting. Watch this film and enjoy! I recommend it to everyone who loves art.

I give 9/10 for this excellent film (1 point missing for non-cinematic material, after all it is "just" a filmed stage play).

Note: My rating criteria is much stricter than the one on IMDb (10 only for the Cinematic masterpiece that should/could last forever).

Na klancu (1971)

The most underrated Slovenian film in history

6 September 2003 - 5 out of 7 users found this review helpful.

This movie is a filmization of the famous novel of the same name by Ivan Cankar, who is officially regarded as the best Slovenian writer and dramatist in the history. Maybe Cankar is the best, but surely isn't the most popular. Everybody in Slovenia must learn about him, but if you are too young to understand the meaning of his symbolism you won't like his works and ultimately him as a writer. The story is about the life of a woman (actually Cankar's mother) in the 19th century. She is torn between wishes to find love and happiness, and the knowledge that she will never reach it. It seems to me that almost nobody in Slovenia saw this film. Nobody ever says a word about it when it comes to terms 'The best of...'. When I saw (we were three in the whole theater) Na klancu I couldn't believe my eyes. A feature film with a strong story 'told' almost without any dialogue. Almost no words whatsoever. Just beautiful images and sounds (as fantastic effects). It was so new, so different to me (after all, we too grew up with/on American popcorn movies) that after 20 years (I saw this film in the 80's, but it was filmed in 1971) I still remember some powerful scenes from it. So, if you are a true 'cinephile' you should see this one. It can be a totally new experience for you. But if you love American 'impossible masked mission of the porky's pie', don't even think about it. This is a film for those who enjoy films like 'Days of Heaven' (T. Malick) or those of Sergei Paradjanov. Something like 'pure Cinema'. A celebrated Serbian writer and film director Zivojin Pavlovic (check him out in IMDb) once said that 'Na klancu' is one of the best (he said Top 5) Slovenian films in history. I completely agree with him!

3 Women (1977)

The Day I Met the Great Robert Altman

28 August 2003 - 5 out of 11 users found this review helpful.

I have seen this film somewhere in 1980/81 and after all these years (and 1000s of films seen) still have some unforgettable Images(!) from it in mind. As I recall, was this my first Altman movie. I became a great admirer of his work after seeing this and his other masterpieces (Nashville, M.A.S.H., Images, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, etc.) Now I know that 3 Women along with Andrzej Wayda's Man of Marble and Luis Bunuel's Discreet charm of...are "guilty" (main suspects) that I become a 'cinema fan' for life. They all showed me what Cinema could be and should be. For me, film is an art form and directors who have made (let's say) 5 such films as Altman did (so different but all (listed above) so excellent) are Artists. Details about 3 Women? Fascinating story, great performances (hats off to all 3 ladies, I still see Janice Rule in those pools), everything in right place. And all that is director's "fault", somebody has to direct (and in this case the same master even wrote the screenplay) all these efforts. But see for yourself. Film is a visual art (Images!). Words cannot describe all the pleasure one feels when experience such film like 3 Women. The 70's were obviously the golden years of Cinema in my life. So many fantastic movies! For me it's hard to say this film is one of Altman's best simply because he made so many great films, but it is my sentimental favorite. It was my first Altman and one of first 10/10s in my book. Glad to meet you, Mr. Altman. I recommend this film to all grown-up viewers all over the world. Open your mind, free your soul and see with your heart. Excuse my language. I forgot to remember to learn English better.
