Because I have so bloody many I want to see and not enough to see them at the rate I'm going hahaha! I need more bandwidth!
From now on I think I'm going to stick to certain genres at a time. For example knock over all the French films I want to see first.
Seeing all the movies I want is the only reason i'd want to be immortal. Lets put it at that.
Not a chance.
It doesn't help that I am interested in absolutely everything. When I see something that really gets my attention, it makes me immediately interested in watching at least ten other things that relate to it. And that's just movies. I also want to track down the music, books coming from the same period, historical associations, various philosophical and scientific ideas...
It all ties together in the end.
My movie queues and reading lists are already quite full, and I add to them constantly.
But that's a good thing. The world is so full I could live a hundred lifetimes and never even scratch the surface of all the things I'm interested in.
Then again, I do waste a lot of time...
No, not a chance. The trouble is I want to see a whole pile of movies, but then time goes on and although I still want to see them, I'm much more interested in the latest 10 or 20 movies I've discovered. The list of stuff I want to see grows much faster than I could ever keep up with.
Maybe. I keep a list on my phone and watch quite a few movies a year.(probably more than most film critics)
I don't really like watching movies over and over. I always prefer watching newer good movies. Not like ones that come out in theater though but older movies that are new to me.
No. Impossible. I'm having a tough time catching up on watching all the DVDs I've bought over the past couple years and they are only a fraction of all the movies I want to see. Plus, I discover additional movies I want to see almost every day.
I doubt it, there is only a handful of new movies I'm willing to watch. Most of the movie that I want to see is either destroyed in a fire during the 1960's, lost and/or never was transfered in VHS/DVD.
Yes. I mainly like films from the 80s and 70s and have no interest in newer movies so that narrows things down slightly. Then there's the particular genres that I am more keen on than others, thus reducing the field ever slightly once more. Add to that, the fact that I am only 24 years old and my goal of watching at least nearly every movie of the 1980s doesn't seem too hard.
:smile:
I know I won't as there are several lost films that I want to see. Sad, right?
I hope so. But likey not. Lotsa silent films I want to see. Tons of forgein films. Whole buncha documentaries.
It's all about $$$. :bluesad:
No I'll never do because I'm rather like Mofo and get interested in almost anything and everything and want to learn more and try more genres all the time. I'm known for my love of Sci-Fi but I also greatly love Horror, Fantasy, Film Noir, Mystery, Crime, Kung Fu, Action, War and biographical films. I've even started to like Westerns the more I see of them. So many movies and more always being made, I'll never see everything.
Never.
I doubt it because I simply don't have the energy and passion I once had to watch movies. I still love them but with the short time I have for myself on a daily basis I'd rather spend it more wiesly. Two hours is a lot of time when you don't really have it.

I'll second that. Without immortality, I will never see every movie I want to see. Too many genres, too many places, too many movies, etc. A never ending search to watch everything that I can possibly can watch. I fear I will die only having watched about 1/3 of what I ever want to see in my life.

Oh I know the feeling... we have a 3 hour mystery from Netflix at our house for almost 2 weeks...
Not a chance. I have a wife and two children. My wife supports my bad movie appreciation to a point. So that means I won't have the time to invest in it because of parental and marital responsibilities that take precedence until retirement, and who know what will be going on at that point?
Nope, one of the films I want to see is Lost- London After Midnight (1920's)

Oh crap yeah! Damn, change my response to this thread to "no" then. :bluesad:
I'd like to.
And the good flick quota has gone down over recent years.
Maybe I'm getting more picky of maybe films are getting a bit rubbish or possibely both.
There's always some exciting film that slips under the radar and they're always fun searching for...
