Really depends on your music taste. But some rock solid suggestions from me:
The Beths - Jump Rope Gazers
Marlon Williams - My Boy
The Mutton Birds - Salty
Magdalena Bay - Mercurial World
Porter Robinson - Nurture
The Decemberists - The King is Dead
Bright Eyes - Cassadaga | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
The only thing off limits is newer pop country. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
If you’re into hardcore punk with a bit of a twist, I recommend Turnstile’s GLOW ON. It became one of my favorite albums of 2021, and brought the band to a wider audience. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
If you don't have any problem listening to music in Spanish, I highly recommend:
* La grasa de las Capitales by Serú Girán
* Artaud by Pescado Rabioso
* Clics modernos by Charly García
* Dynamo by Soda Stereo | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |

Kasabian - self titled debut
The Cranberries - I prefer debut album (Linger, Dreams) but the 2nd album has Zombie, Ridiculous Thoughts
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Whipping Boy - Heartworm (the best Irish album you've never heard) | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I’m pretty sparing with 1 stars. From 275 albums so far, I’ve only given a total of four 1 stars, maybe I’m a little more generous to albums then most other users, but maybe I hand out far too many fives as well. I feel almost every week or every other week at least I’m giving a 5 star to an album.
Edit (I thought I might add some stats):
1 day since my last 5 star (Meat is Murder by The Smiths) and 7 days since my last 1 star (Bone Machine by Tom Waits) | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I am in a 2 1 1 1 1 streak and today doesn’t look great. Best ever was 4 2 4 5 4. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I don't get being sparing with any of the ratings - there's only 5, why not use the full range? 3 is my most common, by far, but I have a fairly standard distribution with like 10% 1s and 15% 5s. I have a 5 star today (Wire - Pink Flag) and the last one was a week ago (Amy Winehouse - Back to Black). The longest gaps between 5s have been 17 (once) and 16 (3 times).
Longest hot streak is 3, which I got twice - Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison, Sonic Youth - Dirty & Black Sabbath - Paranoid / Bjork - Debut, Pixies - Doolittle, Velvet Underground - VU. Had about 4 or 5 back to backs too. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Oh I use the full range, I just have reviewed more albums that are 1 star or 3 stars instead of 5 stars :) My notes include a score out of ten because not all albums fit neatly into the star rating. Reckon my average is 6/10 | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I'm also pretty stingy with the fives - I need to consider it a masterpiece, so actually 9/10 probably doesn't qualify!
Still had two in a row somehow - one expected (Rumours), one unexpected (Lamb Lies Down).
Even more sparing with the one star reviews, it needs to have no redeeming features really. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
It's a personal definition, for sure. All my 5 star albums so far are in fact 9/10 but are achingly close to 9.5/10. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I’m still in the early days of this project (album #56). Most of my rankings fall in the 2-4 range. So far I’ve given seven 1’s and five 5’s. 1 is reserved for truly awful stuff with no redeeming qualities where I skipped every song. This is essentially a 0 to me. A 5 is also not something I give out carelessly either. If I’m giving something a 5 i already know it well and probably own a physical copy of it.
It’s been 16 rankings since my last 5, and I’ve had one back-to-back 5 streak. I did have a week of straight 4’s though which was nice. No back to back 1s and it’s been 26 since my last so that’s something. Either I’m getting kinder on the rankings or the randomizer has been taking it easy on me. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I'm sort of in between. So I don't really give 1s or 5s out that often.
I have a pretty wide taste in music. I have generated 23 albums so far. Two albums I have given 1 star to, and 4 albums I have given 5 stars to.
A lot of other ones have teetered around the 3-4 mark; I think I have rated two albums 2 stars. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I’m with you. The vast majority of these albums are on here because of their quality and historical heft — very few albums SHOULD be getting one stars by design. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Had to go back and check. I’m 177 in, have given 10 albums a 1 rating- last one was 2 weeks ago, and 24 albums 5 stars, last one yesterday (Parliament’s Mothership Connection).
For me to give only one star an album really has to piss me off that I was forced to listen to it. Like I really wasted that time. If I hear any musical effort, even if it’s not a genre I enjoy, I will usually give a two.
I love the rare occasion when I find an artist I didn’t know and they blow me away to where it’s an undeniable 5 stars. That’s the magic within this project. I’ve had three of those so far. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I’ve never given multiple 1 star reviews in a row, only have rated 6 1 star out of 231 rated, and am planning to revisit a couple of those because they were very early on and my bar for 1 star has changed. I think my best streak of 5 stars was 9 in a row. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
This is exactly how I see it too. Even if something isn’t to my personal taste I can usually see why it merits a place on the list. Albums that I can acknowledge are good, but might not be something I’d go out of my way to play on my own, and don’t actively get on my nerves, usually get 3 stars. One star is reserved for albums I don’t think should be on the list, and those have been very few for me so far. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
That’s exactly it for me too. So for this reason, and because I guess I enjoy a wide variety of music and styles, most of my ratings are 4s and 3s. 2s and 5s are relatively rare, and I’ve given under 10 1s, and I’m 317 albums in | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I also enjoy a wide variety of music. I’ve even given 5 stars to a couple albums of my “least favorite” genre (country) due to the nature of the list (as you said, these were selected for a reason). I’ve actually given a TON of 5’s, and sometimes I get self-conscious about it, but man there’s a ton of great music here. Maybe my luck will turn and the algorithm has just been in my favor so far, time will tell! I’ve only rated 231 so I’ve got a long way to go. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I actually just reviewed my list and I’ve actually given more 5s than 3s. Go figure!
As for genre, ya, great music is great music regardless of genre. There are some albums in genres I normally like that I think are totally meh. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Totally agree! That’s why I started doing this, to fill in the gaps of my “musical blind spots” and to get more familiar with pivotal albums I’ve always meant to listen to but just never have. It’s always fun getting an album I already know and love on the list, but the best part is falling in love with an album I’d never listened to before and adding it to my library. Hope you have many more 5 stars in your future! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Ditto! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
My longest high streak is back to back 5s a couple times.
My worst streak went 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 1, 4 (Rio - Duran Duran), 1, 1, 1, 2, 1
I did not have a good time at all. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
Which albums were the 1's and what were the 5's? | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
The 1s:
Remedy - Basement Jaxx
Home Is Where The Music Is - Hugh Masekela
A Love Supreme - John Coltrane
Marcus Garvey - Burning Spear
Trout Mask Replica - Cpt Beefheart
Doggystyle - Snoop Dogg
Slipknot - Slipknot.
I should clarify that I absolutely can't stand jazz.
Perhaps my best 5 star back to back day was Your Arsenal - Morrissey and 69 Love Songs - Magnetic Fields. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
It was a surprise to see Doggystyle average mid 3's instead of low 3's when I reviewed the album. I gave the album one star as well- 2 out of 10 based on how influential Snoop was to the music landscape in the early to mid 90s. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
I had it yesterday, gave it a 3. I agree some sounded a bit like Radiohead. Though can't remember anything else about the album, so pretty forgettable, maybe I should have given it a 2. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I loved this album and I find Radiohead like listening to gruel boil so I don't know what that says 😅 | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Good album - probably 4 out of 5. Wouldn’t think it was an essential listen before I die however. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Both albums of his in this project chew the scenery. Insist upon themselves. Ham it up. Etc etc. It's all so overblown and dramatic, and there's zero payoff. It's a prime example imo of why it's better to have a band than be a solo artist - some people need to be told to dial it back. Rufus needs an editor, lest he disappear up his own arse. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |

That movie feels like it has been physically butchered, tortured and ripped to pieces and then glued back together.
And at the same time it was intended as conceptual but turns out just weird and aimless.

Director: Rob Reiner
Many people today see this film as a nostalgic delight, but it’s not one that I grew up with. I remember not being keen on the concept when my parents eventually introduced it to me (either in my late teens or early 20s) and I simply didn’t find it as funny as everyone else seemed to. It was a satire of fairy tales but did not take the satire as far as, say, Mel Brooks would have done. The self-referential shtick was not my cup of tea at that point. And perhaps there was a part of me that didn’t want to be wrong.
The years passed and I saw more and more positive opinions from people about this film that made me feel I must be missing something. When another opportunity availed itself, I rewatched the film with an open mind and found myself enjoying it a lot more.
It’s not a film you *must* see because of its technical achievements or artistic merit, but purely because of its place as a cultural touchstone. Like [*~A Christmas Story~*](https://basilfilm.wordpress.com/2024/02/20/discussion-290-a-christmas-story-1983/), you’ll still see the film getting quoted today, especially the iconic line, “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” Elsewhere, there have been countless weddings that have used the line “Mawwiage is what bwings us together” to bring humour to their ceremony. Some of the cast have also gone on to do great things. Both Robin Wright and Mandy Patinkin are thoroughly unrecognisable in their later TV roles as Claire Underwood and Saul Berenson (from *House of Cards* and *Homeland* respectively).
I still wish the film’s plot had a *little* more to it. The humour of the film is constructed around a rather barebones fantasy plot where a swashbuckler has to save his true love from marrying an evil king. It’s not that mentally engaging, but perhaps it’s not supposed to be. The side characters are also compelling and it’s fascinating to watch André the Giant in his best-known film performance. But Wright’s character is rather lacking in emotion; she’s honestly pretty useless the entire film, mainly a MacGuffin to be saved.
I’ve come to see why people enjoy this film so much; while it might not be the funniest or cleverest satire of a genre, it’s still a unique adventure film that has its own way of giving a wink to the audience. It’s a film that’s best enjoyed with a group of friends, preferably others that have seen it since their childhoods and are familiar with the jokes. It’s not a film I’d choose to put on myself but I would definitely go to a screening of it.
6.5/10
| r/1001movies | post | r/1001Movies | 2024-22-07 |
Agree with your points. I gave it a 6.
I actually watched it for the first time last year. Its funny, and had I watched it while in highschool, I may have had similar feelings as I do Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
But without nostalgia for it. Its just an OK comedy. Has many great and iconic lines. I enjoyed it, but no, its not a must see | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-22-07 |
I’m looking for a website which is ad free and plays most movies. I have subscription for Netflix and Amazon prime but there are so few options on there. It would be safe and easy to get a subscription for another site but it is just ridiculously expensive. Anyone have any good site suggestions? | r/1001movies | post | r/1001Movies | 2024-23-07 |
Not sure of what you're asking exactly, but the Criterion Channel has a lot of films from the list. So does Kanopy, I believe. Both are ad free. | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-23-07 |
What I mean is, a website or app which streams movies/series for free. I’ll check out some of the stuff you’ve mentioned though | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-23-07 |
Gotcha. Well, there's the Internet Archive, which is free, though hit or miss on what you can find there. Kanopy and Hoopla may be free through your local library. Aside from those, good luck finding an app or website that shows movies for free without any ads at all. | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-23-07 |
Thankssss will look those up rn | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-23-07 |
There’s ok.ru, a sort of Russian Facebook/Youtube, which doesn’t carry movies available on other streaming services, but is totally killer for old movies that aren’t available literally anywhere else because they got lost in copyright hell and never brought to streaming.

Director: Leni Riefenstahl
Having just watched this film a second time (the first was before I had seen the bulk of the *1001 Movies* list) it still astounds me that this is listed as one of the greatest propaganda films ever made because I don’t believe it would have the power to change anyone’s opinion about Nazism or Adolf Hitler. But I’ll admit that’s coming from a place of hindsight; given all that we know now about Nazi Germany and the suffering of so many people, it’s practically impossible to put oneself in the place of the average German citizen in the 1930s, whose country had been in turmoil for two decades.
Amongst all of the jingoistic garbage that Hitler spewed throughout his many speeches, there was one part that stood out to me, as though he had said it for any foreigners watching this film:
“*It was the great calamity of our people that drove us to the struggle, brought us together and left us greater. Those who do not understand have not experienced the same calamities among their people. These things appear enigmatic and mysterious, that hundreds of thousands would be led to assemble amidst calamity and passion. Others cannot understand this is not an order of the State.*”
He was right: I don’t understand. History lessons and documentaries have given me clues but I still cannot understand how an overwhelming majority of German society would so vigorously accept this new despotic leader. The film might have been more effective had Riefenstahl actually given the audience an insight into what kind of calamities Hitler was talking about. There are a few lines at the beginning of the film that mention how Germany had been suffering since 1918 but had been reborn in 1933, but it doesn’t go into any specifics.
So I had to try and imagine for myself with my primitive knowledge of interwar Germany (which is mainly hyperinflation) what would appeal to the average German about Hitler and this film. Perhaps, after decades of seeing your country in shambles, it would be gratifying to see so many resplendent ranks of soldiers and workers, all with a new resolve to put in the work to make Germany greater. And perhaps, after years of lacklustre leadership, someone with the charisma and passion of Hitler would seem like a great alternative - just as long as you don’t think too deeply about what he’s saying. And to be honest, it’s hard to, as very few of the sentences he utters actually make any concrete sense, but rather all seem to allude to something else. “*Germany lies in front of us, Germany marches within us and Germany follows behind us!*” What does that even mean? It’s simply made to be a sound clip, especially with the pronunciation of *Deutschland*.
One could argue that this film is a ‘must-see’ purely because it’s important that everyone in the modern world understand what Hitler looked like and sounded like when he was speaking. He waves his arms, shouts, makes dramatic pauses… his speeches are something of a performance act and we get several opportunities to see that here. I was tempted to turn the subtitles off - the verbal content is pure drivel - and just watch him speak, bug-eyed and nose-flared. Since World War II, he’s been made a caricature so often that you forget that this is the real deal. This charisma and confidence is what drew so many Germans to make one of the worst possible choices for their country, something that is similarly happening in the USA today.
People tend to be more comfortable talking about Riefenstahl’s groundbreaking techniques in this film, which set it apart from so many other documentaries and films at the time. There were still very few female directors at this time so for Riefenstahl to break the mould so boldly and confidently here showed that women certainly had a place in film-making.
I recently watched the fascinating three-hour documentary *The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl*, made when Riefenstahl was 90. The excellent film showed us glimpses of her true personality as she tried to give direction to the film being made about her and argued with the director, and also posed difficult questions on how she felt about Nazism and Hitler, and whether she regretted making *Triumph of the Will*. While she denied being on board with Nazi ideals and the concept of genocide (which I believed) she did betray an eternal fondness for things and people that were aesthetically pleasing. In the latter half of her life, she travelled to Sudan to make documentaries about local tribes, none of which were ever released. While she didn’t seem to be as picky as Hitler, who only wanted an Aryan civilisation to live in his Third Reich, she certainly seemed preoccupied with the naked bodies of young African men and women who tended to be very physically fit. “The old people stayed in their houses,” she protested, “it was mainly the young people moving around.” Sure, Jan.
All this to say, I could see that Hitler’s promise for a more beautiful Germany might have resonated with Riefenstahl even if she was too naive to understand the means of getting there. Having already made an artistically dazzling film - *The Blue Light* - before Hitler came to power, she was the perfect choice to direct this documentary and make it look as epic as possible. In the opening shots of the film, the camera descends through the clouds with Hitler as he lands in Nuremberg before showing streets of Germans giving the Nazi salute to him as he stands in his car beaming at them. Some of these shots would have been difficult logistically in 1934 but Riefenstahl’s dedication to perfection and aesthetic beauty knows no bounds.
While some of Hitler’s most important speeches are inside a giant hall, the most stunning parts of the film are in the centre of the film where some 200,000 Germans stand on a field as a giant audience to Hitler. Deliberate dollying by Riefenstahl gives these scenes a cinematic effect and it is truly a spectacular sight. An innovation by Riefenstahl was to attach a camera to one of the flagpoles and it can be seen travelling up and down in the final footage - astonishingly the only one of Riefenstahl’s 30 cameras that can be seen anywhere in the film. Film historians have noted that the final scene of *Star Wars: A New Hope* seems to draw heavily from these particular scenes in *Triumph of the Will*.
While those scenes are very impressive, the majority of the film is a crashing bore. Riefenstahl needn’t have tried to show as much of the proceedings as she did and should have perhaps only kept the middle hour or so. Too many scenes of marching and speeches with absolutely nothing thought-provoking make this a tough sell to anyone who’s not interested in film history. Evil Nazi rhetoric and glorification aside, this is not a film worth watching in its entirety; find a best-of compilation if you’re interested.

Its been a long time since I watched this so I dont remember it as well as you, but its down as a 4/10 on my list..
My notes speak only about how beautifully shot and edited it was - though the content quite boring, since Im unlikely to be swayed by a Nazi propaganda film aimed at Germans in the 1930s.
Anyway, history is important for context as Germany were punished heavily by the rest of the world for WW1 which CAUSED hyperinflation. By the time the 30s rolled around you almost had an entire generation of young people who didnt even know why they were being punished.
Suddenly a charismatic person comes along, creates a sense of worth, and encourages the youth eapecially to join him and be immortalised. I think its very easy to see why he was as effective as he was. Its also why Germny was treated very differently in the aftermath of WW2 conpared to WW1 so that the same mistakes were not made again.
The film itself i barely remember, it is certainly an epic sight to see that many soldiers in 1 place - but its the kind of thing I associated only with dictatorships, like Russia or North Korea. It was beautifully shot, which is a great contrast when its shooting something which is so obviously horrifying now.
But as I said. Boring. So damn boring. | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-25-07 |
I wonder if we only associate this kind of sight with dictatorships BECAUSE of the nazis and this film? Perhaps beforehand this was seen as good and progress, not something to be terrified of? | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-25-07 |
Well, maybe more literally - before this film showed it, it wasn't seen at all by most people, unl ss you were at one of these rallys | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-25-07 |

I’m at 301/1245 and am looking for some summertime movies to enjoy next month on the complete 1001 movies list. They don’t have to be ones that take place in summer, but a summer vibe will do. Thanks! | r/1001movies | post | r/1001Movies | 2024-29-07 |
Jaws and Independence Day for sure. Maybe the original Star Wars trilogy as well since they all were summer releases. | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-29-07 |
Mr Hulot’s Holiday is something I always start my summer with because it’s honestly just a fun and chill time with a lot of good comedy thrown in too. | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-29-07 |
Great suggestion! I haven’t seen that one (or any of the Mr humor movies) so I’ll definitely check it out! | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-29-07 |
Picnic at Hanging rock was the first to spring to my mind. Not sure if this is the best summer choice haha | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-29-07 |
I’ll definitely check it out! The only Australian movie I’ve seen so far is Muriel’s wedding | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-29-07 |
Summertime by David Lean | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-29-07 |
Suddenly Last Summer by Joseph L. Mankiewicz based on the play by Tennessee Williams
Any movie based on Tennessee Williams' plays is likely to have a summer vibe. Think Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and A Streetcar Named Desire. | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-29-07 |
Do the Right Thing (1989)

I watch 77/1001 films and I’m trying to get all the 1001 movies on criterion, that’s basically 235 criterion’s left to buy, so possibly the next November sale, I’m gonna do a big haul. | r/1001movies | post | r/1001Movies | 2024-31-07 |
Even though movies that I’ve watched in the past in 2023/2024 that’s in the book (salo, silence of the lambs, terminator 2) I already rewatched | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-31-07 |
It's that time again. Give us ya films and your total score out of 1245!
Me? I rewatched these films from the list:
The Artist (2011)
The Favourite (2018)
Triumph of the Will (Triumph des Willens) (1935)
Even though it's Olympic season, I reckon I'm just going to skim watch Olympia1+2 for the discussion posts.
I also watched the one-shot film Boiling Point (2021) today. Excellent. Way better than Russian Ark. | r/1001movies | post | r/1001Movies | 2024-31-07 |
Did not quite meet my goal of 10 per month due to travel, but watched some good quality. Here they are, roughly ranked:
Great:
**Cabaret** - Was expecting a letdown after All That Jazz blew me away. This is also amazing.
**L'Argent** - Bresson also delivered here.
**Strangers on a Train** - Feels surprisingly innovative for being 70+ years old
Good:
**Whatever Happened to Baby Jane** - Truly fantastic casting
Okay:
**Henry V** - Interesting blend of stage and screen, but didn't do much for me.
**The Accidental Tourist** - Weird blend of tones. Mostly doesn't work.
**W.R. Mysteries of the Organism** - I appreciate how gonzo weird this was, but I have no idea how to rate it.
I also happened to rewatch **Princess Mononoke, Jaws** and **Chinatown*****,*** and cemented my opinion of each. (Jaws and Mononoke are amazing, Chinatown is overrated).

Delighted to read that somebody else got blown away by All That Jazz - though IIRC, it's not the first time you
and I have agreed to such an extent! In my top five List discoveries. | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-31-07 |
Top Hat (1935)
I Know Where I'm Going! (1945)
Marty (1955)
Repulsion (1965)
Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)
The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985)
Deseret (1995)
Paradise Now (2005)-very poignant film and worth watching especially now | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-31-07 |
I liked All That Jazz as well. It got pretty weird and meta, but that added an interesting layer to the story and helped make it even more engaging. | r/1001movies | comment | r/1001Movies | 2024-31-07 |
I really wish I had known that Umbrellas of Cherbourg was connected to Lola before watching Umbrellas, otherwise I definitely would have done it in the opposite order. Regardless, Lola was great and I really enjoyed getting Roland’s backstory.
City Lights was the first silent movie I’ve shown to my kids and they LOVED it (6 and 3 years old). They asked to rewatch it immediately afterward.
If anyone has any suggestions for something similar to Daises I would love to hear them. So unique and interesting and fun.
Lola (1961)
City Lights (1931)
Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)
A Hard Day’s Night (1964)
Daisies (1966)
