The Johnny Depp Project

I decided that instead of watching films I've not seen before, I want to spend more time rewatching films that I've loved in the past. Johnny Depp was my favourite person ever when I was 12/13 and so I felt the need to own everything related to him. Hence, I own quite a lot of his films on DVD, many of which I haven't watched for about 5 years. So, this summer (22nd June until 30th September) I'm going to rewatch Depp's filmography in chronological order. This is quite a big task because he's starred in so many films, however some I am excluding from this project (For example, Before Night Falls, which he appears in for about 5 minutes, which I watched for the first time only recently and didn't enjoy it much, so I don't want to watch it again anytime soon.) Here's a list of the films I plan to watch and write about on this blog, a few of which I will be watching for the first time (I've put these films in italic)

1. A Nightmare on Elm Street, 1984
2. Private Resort, 1985
3. Platoon, 1986

33. Public Enemies, 2009
34. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, 2009
35. Alice in Wonderland, 2010
36. The Tourist, 2010
37. Rango, 2011
38. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, 2011
39. The Rum Diary, 2011

Some of these films I really disliked, and watching them again is going to be a bit of a struggle (for example, The Tourist) But generally I'm looking forward to the project. I'd like to include the TV series of 21 Jump Street but I'm afraid that would take too long.

First up, A Nightmare on Elm Street!
