Hello!
I've been trying to see all those movies that people say "you really need to see this", so I thought I'll keep a record of it here. I took the AFI top 100 movies of all time, combined with the top 250 user voted movies from IMdB and the remaining not mentioned that were on the list of 100 people I surveyed for their top movies a year ago..deleted the foreign movies no one has ever heard of and here's the list in alpha order.
So as I pop in Raging Bull to watch on recommendation, here's what I've seen. I'll also update as I add to the list so look for the updated tags! Tell me what you think. Do this yourself. Tell me what I need to add. Etc etc etc....

What do you think? Which movies can you not believe I haven't seen yet? Which do you think I need to move to the top of my "watch next" list?

DUDE - You've never seen Se7en!?!?!? Please tell me you're kidding - PHENOMENAL!! I also highly recommend Memento and American History X (although extremely disturbing!). Mystic River is also worth seeing. Any movie with Robert Wahlberg (aka "the real life Johnny Drama") is worth seeing!
ReplyDeleteYou missed my all time favorite..."The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". Clint Eastwood is god!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a list. I have my own list of movies to catch up so thanks for providing some ideas for must-sees!
