Day 4.

I'm starting to not really understand any of these categories.

Day 4: A movie you watch to feel BAD.

I'm not sure what that means. I presume that bad just means, 'not good.' So with that said, there is very few movies I watch to feel not good. And its not that I even chose to watch these movies in the first place -- to not feel good. It just turns out that I didn't feel good, once the film was over. I think the first instinct is to mention depressing movies, but depressing movies don't really bother me. I quite enjoy them. Thus, they don't make me feel bad. So that leaves out movies like Birth, Wendy & Lucy, Breaking the Waves. So a movie that comes to mind when I think of movies I've watched and did not feel good afterward is Gaspar Noe's Irreversible. I had heard about some reaction to the film, but I suppose I wasn't completely paying attention. I happen to watch the movie at home, by myself, at 2am. And while in most ways the film is incredible, basically... I felt "bad" after it was finished.



But of course, the film I expect to top Irreversible is A Serbian Film. I just refuse to watch it online... thus far.
