Movies I haven’t managed to see in my first 44 years that I plan to watch over the next few months:

1. The Godfather – came out the year I was born – I think negative vibes from my family put me off this one, and somehow I never got around to seeing at the various Uni Film Club opportunities.

2. Seven Samurai – Kurosawa’s classic – need to put aside a full three plus hours for this one. I think I tried to watch it once on SBS as a sleep-deprived teenager and didn’t make it very far before I nodded off.

3. Psycho – The much imitated and parodied shower scene is so famous, and the recent Hitchcock biopic got me interested in finally seeing it in context!

4. The Wages of Fear – by the “French Hitchcock” Henri-Georges Clouzot – I hadn’t heard of this until recently but it sounds great, and I need a French film in the top 5 I think

5. Solaris – Russian sci-fi thriller from the seventies – sounds intriguing

Will cross-link to later posts after I have watched them.
