So I finally finished watching the 14 films that I was forced to watch by the winners and participants of my recent Blogiversary Contest.
Once again, I was forced to watch numerous films that are not in my normal comfort zone which is both good and bad.
Good because I doubt I would have watched most of them had I not been “forced” to do so.
and
Bad because I had to suffer through some movies I didn’t like at all.
________________________________
Of the 14 films chosen, I was give:
6 Foreign Language Films (thankfully, two have dubbed versions) 🙂
2 Anime Films
2 Horror Films
I had only seen one of the films beforehand yet it was years ago before I started reviewing films.
Here are the 14 films listed in order of my favorite to least favorite
- The Wages of Fear (1953)
- The Wrong Man (1956)
- Train to Busan (2016)
- Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
- Pirate Radio (2009)
- Timecrimes (2007)
- The Grand Seduction (2013)
- In Bruges (2008)
- Man Bites Dog (1993)
- The Reivers (1969)
- Deep Blue Sea (1999)
- Perfect Blue (1997)
- The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009)
- Ride With the Devil (1999)
Overall, I enjoyed more of these than not and I want to once again give a HUGE thanks to all 6 people who “forced” me to watch these films!
Congrats on wading through them all (a couple of which I’ve never even heard of) and living to tell the tale. A couple in your bottom half (Reivers and In Bruges) would be far higher on my list, but that’s what makes a horserace, as they say.
