Things On Your Watchlist?

[Make me your Dream Life 83,329]

I typically try not to binge watch unless I'm glued into a show/ set of movies. With the pacings of daily life and wanting to just get out of that scope to a broader view, or at least reminder that there's more to life than working away, I try to pace out things that I enjoy, and a good streaming sesh is one of those things.

What are some shows/ movies that are on your watchlist that you haven't gotten to/ finished yet? 

[The Sun Also Rises 2,824]

I have almost 800 films on my watch list on letterboxd

i started the crown like a year ago and I literally cannot finish it too long :')

also i started downton abbey like 2 years ago and at this point i give up. I went back into it several times and I've completely lost the plot. I couldn't tell you what happened last season for the life of me. It's like immediately after I finish a season, I forget all of it. All I know is that edith 

Spoiler

has a baby for some reason that resides with the farmer and she somehow sets the downton abbey on fire
I gave up on it partially because 1. matthew is dead 😭like huh what is mary supposed to do now 2. sybil is dead like huh she was my second fav sister 3. i cannot stand isobel crawley because I love the dowager and if i love the dowager i cannot love isobel crawley

also i've been wanting to watch clueless for so long but netflix decided to get rid of it argh

also i started watching anatomy of a fall and i just have a talent of not being able to finish things

My all time fav is Given

It started as a manga series (which I have read fan translated versions of + currently own the first 4 official English translation volumes)

Its also got my all time favorite soundtrack which I also own on CD/Blu-ray

 

 

Other than that, the series Betrayal Knows My Name

There are too many amazing films in the world to watch!! And I have to keep track of them somehow because otherwise I'll forget the non-English language titled ones 

 

https://letterboxd.com/ellanorwatches/watchlist/

 

I think the top of my list right now though is: 

Movies

• Taste of Cherry (1997) 
• Taxi Driver (1976) 

• Kaagaz Ke Phool (1959) 

• Rear Window (1954) 

• Perfect Days (2023) 

• A Brighter Summer Day (1991) 

• There Will Be Blood (2007) 

• Wild Strawberries (1957) 

• The Apu Trilogy (1955 - 59) 

I'm currently watching

• Perriot le Fou (1965) 

• The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) 

It always takes me longer to watch subtitled films even though I love them because I can't watch them easily while eating for example because I'll miss stuff 

I've kind of got out of the habit of watching TV shows buuuuut these are on my watchlist 

• Shōgun

• Fallout

• Monster (anime)

I tried watching DA last year but I literally couldn't get into it but damn how I loved the aesthetic. I'm not the biggest fan of period dramas but if something sticks out, I've usually loved it and I thought that DA was the one. Maybe I need to try it again because it wasn't bad at all.

see i didn't even know that the site was even a thing. I was thinking of some movies/shows at the top of my head. 
I'm gonna start slow to figure out what I can manage and then probably look into this, that looks great thank you btw!

since we're kinda on topic about period dramas, I'm not entirely sure what that fully entails, but Kirsten Dunst's Marie Antoinette. perfect. 

and I know it's a bit polarizing, at least at one point, but I really love Bridgerton. I know it's meant to be ironic and satirical at times, and the juxtaposition of their society, and pearl clutching in their world due to their basic desires, I think it's a great parallel to how these things still translate to people in the modern day. you just have to be open to observing the show's self-awareness 

third season's out in half a month

I tried so hard to get into bridgerton and i swear I don't know what is wrong with me I just don't like how fast paced it is but I tried so hard to get into it because I watched queen charlotte a bridgerton story and i enjoyed it (made me erupt in tears) I feel like the main characters for bridgerton aren't as likeable for me but I only watched the first episode I think

relatable 😭i feel like I'm kind of a shallow person cause I only like films when they are aesthetically pleasing. The amount of times I've rewatched the queen's gambit and little women 😂the shots are like ice cream for my eyes

and also downton abbey literally looks straight out of a fairytale and the hairstyles and the dresses and the lawn>>
