 Tuesday 29 september 2009

Today I went to the cinema in the middle of the day, something I haven’t done for years I think, and I realised I should really watch more films – something I realise very often, but this time there is a plan:

Anyone who reads this, think! Think of a great movie, one that you think I should see because you thought it was amazing. Or give me a list of movies I should see for whatever reason.

I’ll give you a month to come up with movies. I’ll then select 30 movies from whatever you came up with and then I’ll start collecting. I’ll get them from eBay, shops, whatever or feel free of course to send me DVD’s.

Don’t hesitate to come up with famous movies, classic movies, documentaries, obscure movies, dark movies, children’s movies. Anything at all, as long as you think I should see it, for whatever reason.

Once I have all 30 of them I will watch one every day, for 30 days. And every day I write on this site what I thought. And one more thing – pass this on! And email to info @ asortofdiary.com

 

And on the right is the result. The text below the screenshot is what I wrote on the day I saw the film. I can tell you it’s bloody tiring to watch so many films, but it was worth it. Recommended!
