3 Films to see before you go blind - Blu-ray Forum

bit of fun this one...

Got laser eye surgery on Friday and there's apparantly a 0.5% chance it can go wrong enough to lose my sight. In which case I'd like to use it as an excuse to fit in a movie marathon on Thursday. What triple bill would you guys recommend if it were the last 3 films you would ever see?

...ergo they can't be offended as they can't see this thread. Unless of course they're partially sighted which doesn't count for this thread. We'd then need to deal with optical vision prognosis, the retinal magnification dilation theory and legally registering as 'blind' and other complicated stuff. Let's just stick with the knee-jerk reaction for now.

3 films that I'm glad I seen?

Paths of Glory
The Matrix
Smokey and The Bandit

In that order of magnatude.

- The Great Escape

I'd rather actually go blind than be forced to watch those 3 films

Refused · 12-05-2011, 01:59 PM

Tombs Of The Blind Dead
Julia's Eyes
Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman

marlon dingle · 12-05-2011, 02:06 PM

I think if you watch Speed Racer, there is a 0.5% chance that you could go blind.

ChrisDilke · 12-05-2011, 02:10 PM

I would say Avatar, Star Wars and Akira. I think if there was a risk of you losing your sight, you'd want to make the most of it by watching three films that are visually amazing.

What would be a more depressing thread - this one or "3 Films to see before you die or are executed"?

Although these are my favorites and not necessarily the all-time best ever (well, they are up there), I think it would be nice to be left with some positive imagery such as:

1. Kiki's Delivery Service
2. Amelie
3. Scott Pilgrim Vs The World
