MestnyiGeroi's "Films I've Yet to See that Most Frequently Feature in Mizoguchi's Lists"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Yes, I am talking about the listmaker on this site who goes by the name Mizoguchi. I enjoy all of his lists and usually add them, but I can’t help but notice that the same elusive films remain unchecked for me on list after list. In honor of his discriminating taste (and just as a means of keeping myself from having to notice with irritation the same missing films over and over), I am concocting a particular list of the remaining targets. I have listed them in order from the greatest offenders (i.e., those that most frequently crop up as unseen, which also means those I most want to see) to the lesser irritants.

Just saw my first of the list, a film I’ve wanted to see for a decade or two! The Gospel According to St. Matthew—an instant favorite. So, this list has a 100% record so far; next up is Pakeezah, which should arrive in the mail today.

You've spotted it. — 1 year ago

Personal idiosyncracies are perfectly welcome in a list. I look forward to catching these, although some are not available on DVD in North America (e.g., Celine and Julie, St. Matthew), whereas some I’ll be seeing soon (e.g., I’ve wanted to see Pakeezah for years, and it’s finally worked its way up to the #6 slot on my voluminous Netflix list).

As for you being “out of lists” and wanting to “expand [your own] horizons,” I think it’s time you dropped the resistance and gave in to my ginormo-list of Russian movies: http://www.listsofbests.com/list/49898
I know you’ve seen a lot of Russian films already, and you don’t have to maintain every list with with at least a 90+%. Go on …...... ;0)

Thank you for the kind words and all the interest you’ve shown. I was only just thinking i’m almost out of any more lists when i came across this. Basically i’m trying to expand horizons and fight the current of so many official lists that reinforce Hollywood dominance and seem based on ignorance of goodies elsewhere. And of course i’m a nutter to be such a listaholic- some deep psychological insecurity. Quite a few of these films are very much a matter of personal taste (for instance Sheltering Sky helped along by a great holiday in Morocco), so some will disappoint, but some may hit the target! Thanks again. And i can’t resist adding this to my list collection!
