50 Greatest Films You’ll Only Watch Once

http://www.redforward.com/article/story/7309/50-Greatest-Films-You-ll-Only-Watch-Once.html

I’m not a 13 year old girl or anything, but I am a fan of lists.  Movie lists.  I’ve posted before that like to go on https://www.icheckmovies.com/ and see what’s good to watch.  I saw this listed posted somewhere last night and wondered if I would agree.  Here are the results.

Movies I’ve seen only once:

The Machinist

The Mist

Solaris

Un Chien Andalou

Battleship Potemkin

Inland Empire

Antichrist

Precious

Gone With the Wind

The Blair Witch Project

Audition

Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer

Schindler’s List

The Road

Martyrs

Funny Games

Movies I’ve seen multiple times:

American History X

The Seventh Seal

Requiem for a Dream

I would say that they did a pretty good job with the list.  16 to 3 seems like a convincing enough ratio.  I wouldn’t mind seeing a few of those again but I haven’t got around to it possibly further confirming the list.  I do however love the Seventh Seal.  Great flick

P.S I read The Elephant Man if that counts.  Only once.  Books are for squares (rectangles).

Movie #57 The Perks of Being a Wallflower

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1659337/

Before I begin, I have big plans for October.  I’m thinking a horror movie a night to get into the Halloween spirit.  So maybe I can get back to over 100 views a day instead of the seven currently.

I saw this movie last night at a screening so like I did with the other screening posts, there won’t be any giving away of the plot.  Also I couldn’t take notes so I don’t remember events in their usual detail.

Literally the only thing I knew about this movie before last night was that Emma Watson is in it.  Maybe this is sad, but it looks like that is all it takes for me to see a movie I guess.  Turns out The Perks of Being a Wallflower is your formulaic high school coming of age movie.  The main character is an outcast, things start going good for him, then something bad happens and he spends the last 20 minutes or so trying to make things right (usually get girl friend back).  What makes this movie different from the others is instead of being quirky or cute, this one gets a little dark (which I like).

For a teen drama, the acting is pretty good.  The only movie I had seen the main character lead before was that Percy Jackson and the Something Something movie which was forgettable (and by forgettable I mean I wish I could forget) but he did a good enough job.  Emma Watson cements herself in my top five by looking bangin even with a short buzz cut.  The gay friend provided pretty good comic relief too.  I ended up laughing a fair amount of times.

Rating: 7.5 Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolates.  This isn’t my favorite type of movie but I still really enjoyed it.  I probably wouldn’t pay to see it in theaters because visually it isn’t necessary and not must see but I would say that if you ever come across it on Netflix, definitely give it a watch.

I need to get onto photoshop and crop out all of the other bozos so it's just Emma
