52 Films - Week 1 (03/01/15 - 07/01/15)

[The Don]

52 Films Challenge – Week 1

Welcome to the first week of the Habbox 52 Films Challenge. This challenge is to get everybody participating to watch a wider variety of films and genres, and perhaps find a hidden gem they otherwise wouldn’t have thought to watch. People can watch the film together using software (there’s loads available, I’ll provide a few in this post) or watch individually wherever’s convenient throughout the week. Post what you thought about the film in the discussion thread whenever you’ve watched it and see what others thought about it. It will be interesting to see which films are popular and which ones aren’t. Let’s see how many of us will manage to watch all 52!

Methods to watch the films –
Buy the DVD/Blu-Ray, Netflix, Youtube, Stream off one of the many websites, Download (tut tut). If somebody needs a link to any torrents I can pm you it (just ask for it in the thread). Obviously nobody post any links in this thread otherwise you’ll get in trouble with the mods.

I give it 3.5/5

Didn't realise it was 2 and a half hours, that's long. I've seen this film before in secondary school but can't remember anything about it so will be interesting to watch it again.

[scottish]

Watching now... Want to sleep...

[David]

same it's pretty boring

[scottish]

I'm only forty minutes in ugh kill me now

[buttons]

no i quite like it

[David]

"Why the fucking coat?"

[karter]

okay I'm watching it right now

- - - Updated - - -

2 hour 28 minutes :'(

o it's that guy who won the oscar and kissed halle berry!!

[karter]

definitely one of the best foreign language movies i've seen, i'll give it 4/5 stars

favourite scene: when he pretend plays the piano
least favourite scene: when his family is forced into the cargo train :( also the wheelchair scene...
also feel bad for the nazi guy who helped him but couldn't be saved

[buttons]

i give 3/5

[scottish]

I give it 1/5, one of the most boring movies I've ever seen and it just kept going on..

not my kind of movie at all.

[David]

2/5. it was long, and i was mostly bored. hard to get in to it when it's skipping 3 months every 30 seconds.

[MKR&*42]

Its 2 an a half hour??? oh my god

it better be good if im gonna sit through it for that long

[Red]

Starting it now. This will be my second 2 hour+ long film this week lmao. Watched unbroken last night. You guys should check it out, I loved it! Such an amazing man.

[Jurv]

looks interesting from the trailer! i'll try and give it a watch tomorrow night

also 2 and a half hours aint even that bad

[thms]

WHY THE ******* COAT

"i'm cold"

found it really boring in some parts but actually enjoyed it towards the end which i didn't think i would, 3/5 stars

felt really bad for hosenfield at the end especially after he helped szpilman

[Red]

I only started to get into it when he went into hiding. I found some of it really distressing. ugh My copy didn't have english subtitles for german bits either so it was so frustrating but managed to get the script on imdb lmao

[thms]

ya i found it better when he was hiding too, and same with the english subtitles i will have to google them

i hope the next film is a happy one

[Yupt]

www.moreflicks.com really good site for finding films on netflix.

[karter]

i actually couldnt find any versions with subtitles and i couldnt wait for the download so i just downloaded the subtitles and was scrolling through the notepad while the movie was playing lol #the struggle

[scottish]

you could just download the subtitles, then ask your media player to open them (like VLC you can select your subtitle file and it'll sync it)

I used filebot to auto get the subtitles and images that go with an episode/movie, then serviio is set to burn in subtitles always.

[The Don]

Just finished watching it with wixard;

Dunno why loads of you disliked it, I thought it was really good. My favourite scene is him playing the piano in front of the German Officer.

Sucks that he died in a labour camp even though he helped loads of jews hide

yes that waS sad when does the new week start

[scottish]

will you be posting the new thread at midnight tonight (i.e. morning of the 7th) or midnight tomorrow (i.e night of the 7th)?

as it ends tomorrow I would assume the latter, but hope for the former.

[Jssy]

Oh I should do this! There's so many films I haven't watched

[thms]

Oh I should do this! There's so many films I haven't watched

hurry and get the pianist watched

[Jssy]

hurry and get the pianist watched
I've got it! I don't think I'll be able to watch it till tomorrow tho [emoji20]

[scottish]

ye Jssy; it resets tomorrow so you best get it done quick.

[thms]

ye Jssy; it resets tomorrow so you best get it done quick.

yeah OR ELSE

[Drew]

I might actually do this, hope I'm not too late!

[scottish]

I might actually do this, hope I'm not too late!

you have today to watch the pianist.

[Drew]

you have today to watch the pianist.

yes I know :P

[Jssy]

Yeah Drew; join me haha, although I won't be able to watch till later today cos I've got a meeting

[Empired]

I didn't particularly enjoy it but I did appreciate it :P Not one I'd watch again and there were some very disturbing bits but definitely worth watching nonetheless I think.

[dbgtz]

Why are people hating on the film?? I thought it was pretty decent but, then again, I didn't come in with high expectations after people mentioned the wheelchair scene. I also didn't expect that scene to be quite as brutal as it was.

[buttons]

i think it's cause people have different preferences in films. i might be wrong though.

[David]

i agree
