I watch loads and loads of movies, about a thousand movies a year, including the ones I re-watch. However, there are still lots of classics I’ve never seen. I still prefer a martial arts movie to a three hour German silent movie from the 1920s. I watch Jess Franco movies instead of “Terms of Endearment” (if that one’s considered a classic). I still haven’t seen “Ghandi”, and to be honest, I don’t feel like it.
But there are movies I kind of feel ashamed not having seen, especially classic horror movies, since I’m regarded as something of a horror movie expert. One of these movies is the French movie “Les Yeux Sans Visage”, directed by Georges Franju and released in 1960. The English export title is “Eyes Without a Face”, which I and most others use, but a dubbed and edited American drive-in version was retitled “The Horror Chamber of Dr. Faustus”. Cool title, but it makes it sound like a grindhouse flick, and there’s no Dr. Faustus in the movie.
