One of my resolutions for this new year is to be less lazy and to finally get around to attacking my gargantuan list of films to watch. Since starting writing about film here at Film Grimoire, my watchlist has become incredibly huge because I read about amazing films every day, and the resulting list almost seems like an unapproachable task.
Here’s where challenges like the Blindspot Series are so valuable. This series was initially started by Ryan of The Matinee, but I heard about it from the wonderful Elina of Films And Coke. The Blindspot Series is where you choose twelve films from your watchlist to definitively watch and review throughout the year. I’ve chosen twelve films that have languished on my watch list for far too long, some of which were referenced in my Shame List post, and I’ll be reviewing one of them per month.

Great shame list you got there. Wild at Heart is a classic! I’m a huge David Lynch fan 🙂
Thanks heaps! 😀 I love David Lynch too, but for some reason have always missed out on seeing Wild At Heart. This year’s the year I finally make myself see it!

Nice, I just did a blindspot myself, and I think you have some great choices here. Exotic list 🙂 I think I’m gonna watch some movies from your list too, thanks for sharing!
Thanks heaps! 🙂 My list is a bit of a mixed one this year, but I’m really looking forward to seeing them all!
Ah okay, mine are mainly recent films but are all very exciting 🙂 Check out my recent posts if you have the time!! 🙂

[…] I went into watching Alps (2011), also known in its native Greek as Άλπεις or Alpeis, with a deep appreciation for the films of director Yorgos Lanthimos. I was fascinated by Dogtooth (2009), I fell in love with The Lobster (2015), and I was completely entranced by The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017). I felt like after watching these three, I had a pretty solid understanding of what Lanthimos is about – hence why it would be so intriguing to explore some of his other films through the Blindspot challenge.

[…] In this way, whilst The Trip is kind of lame as a narrative film, but as a visual essay on what it looks and feels like to be on psychedelic drugs, it’s pretty good. It can’t be denied that this film has significant cultural value given that it very artistically captures a moment in time in the late 60s, during the height of the counter-culture hippie movement, where psychedelic drugs were increasingly of interest. Perhaps the film’s cultural significance and artistic integrity in creating these amazing trippy scenes outweighs the film’s shortfalls. Still, it’s not a bad film to watch if you don’t have anything else on. A very worthy addition to my Blindspot series. […]
