Movie List Meme

Interesting meme. [H/T Ministry of Minor Perfidy where I stole the list originally.]


I think I did pretty well. Though I made some blanks for the Gs to edit to fill in. I'm certain that they will put me to shame.

Missed 8 out of the 100.
I would have preferred to say things like, "Hell, Yes" or "Unfortunately, yes" about movies like "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" or "Seventh Seal".
I'm sorry to say I haven't seen The Great Dictator.
Nyarl, we have to take you to the movies a few times. You've got some serious gaps in your education if you haven't see Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity, Princess Bride, Strangers on a Train, Touch of Friggin Evil, M, wait let me say that one again, M... Fritz Lang's masterpiece... where was I, Paths of Glory (come on WWI)
But then, you have several hours of your life that I'm not going to get back from movies like Schindler's List, and Annie Hall.
Run Lola Run is fantastic. We'll have to rent it sometime when you're coming over. Heck, maybe we should pick it up.
I think some movies are missing... The Searchers, Outlaw Josey Wales, The Thing, My Man Godfrey, Caine Mutiny, Young Frankenstein, Mad Max (not those other pieces of tripe), Bride of Frankenstein, Hard Boiled, Wild Bunch, Suspiria, Videodrome, The Thin Man ... just to name a few.
