#11. 50 must see movies.
In addition to completing #12, I also made up the list of 50 movies I absolutely must see. So, now my goal is to see 25 of them in the next six months. I should be able to do that, seeing as I work at a video store.
The list, in no particular order:
Casablanca (1942), Citizen Kane (1941), Good, the Bad and the Ugly, The (1966), Usual Suspects, The (1995), Rear Window (1954), Dr. Strangelove or: How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb (1964), 12 Angry Men (1957), Memento (2000), Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), Goodfellas (1990), American Beauty (1999), To Kill a Mockingbird (1962), Maltese Falcon, The (1941), Hotel Rwanda (2004), Donnie Darko (2001), Great Dictator, The (1940), Princess Mononoke (1997), Ben-Hur (1959), Sideways (2004), Young Frankenstein (1974), Lost in Translation (2004), Ed Wood (1994), Almost Famous (2000), Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), Killer, The (1989), Snatch. (2000), Twelve Monkeys (1995), Witness for the Prosecution (1957), Ikiru (1952), Unforgiven (1992), Amadeus (1984), Chinatown (1974), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), Lawrence of Arabia (1962), It’s a Wonderful Life (1946), Psycho (1960), American Graffiti (1973), Rocky (1976), Bringing Up Baby (1938), Animal House (1978), Producers, The (1968), Misery (1990), Adventures of Robin Hood, The (1938), Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The (1948), Sunset Blvd. (1950), Shakespeare in Love (1998), Saving Private Ryan (1998), Network (1976), Big Sleep, The (1946), Die Hard (1988)
Now then, I actually completed this list on Friday (I just didn't get around to posting it until today) as such I've already taken steps towards seeing at least 25 of these films:
Citizen Kane (1941)
Producers, The (1968)
Unforgiven (1992)
Three down, 22 to go.

Those are the ones on your list that I also have yet to see. Like you, despite my love of cinema, I just haven't gotten around to seeingall the "worthwhile" or "good" movies that I'd like. Hell, I haven't even seen Blade Runner or Highlander, and in some circles (mostly the circles I enjoy running in), that makes me a pariah. Fret not, Number 6, we can do it!
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), Hotel Rwanda (2004), Princess Mononoke (1997), Lost in Translation (2004), Almost Famous (2000), Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Animal House (1978), Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The (1948), Network (1976)
Those are the movies on your list that are also on my list of movies to see. (There were also six that you had that weren't on my list, but I'm not listing them.) Something tells me we need to get together for some movie watchin'. Maybe get the Ninja in on it; we can slip Blade Runner in so he can stop being a pariah.
