Which movies have you seen?

Amazing how many I saw during my one year membership to Cinemateque.

Blue link on blue background. What were they thinking? Still easily solved by highlighting all the links.

As for the films, you have some serious gaps.

Shawshank Redemption
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Amelie
Sixth Sense

are all "Must See"

Memento
Saving Private Ryan
Léon

are "Definitely worth a watch". Only missing out on the top category because they may not appeal to some.

The others that I've seen that you haven't:
Psycho - Can't beleive you haven't seen at least part of this one.
American Beauty - OK
Bridge on the River Kwai - Can't remember that much of this one
Se7en - Crap
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Boring as batshit
Reservoir Dogs - As good as Pulp Fiction, though some violence OTT
Braveheart - Standard hollywood fare.
Toy Story 2 - Standard hollywood fare.

I boycotted this list, as it doesn't contain my 2 all time faves:
Life of Brian - "So your name is Bwian hey? - No Brian"
Fish called Wanda. "It's K-k-k-Ken, coming to k-k-k-kill me."

They've missed out a lot of films that I think are great, but these lists are always a bit arbitrary. Ones that I'd like - any of the Three Colours trilogy, but particularly Blue, Mystic River, The Leopard, Au Revoir mes Enfants, Jean de Florette, The Fearless Vampire Killers (I like this film, although it is better with an audience), Ridicule, The city of lost children, Clerks, Bladerunner being a few that I can think of offhand. It always surprises me that Bladerunner doesn't make it on to these lists, I think it's still underrated by a lot of the "serious" film community.

As you'd know from BBQs, me and films don't necessarily interact in any meaningful way. Still, I have seen at least one more film this year than last... but not ROK.

Shawshank Redemption
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Amelie
Sixth Sense

It's hype that puts me off films usually and two of these were hyped quite a lot. Lotr:ROK I missed just because it was during summer and I was doing other stuff. I kept trying to see the Sixth Sense, but I'm not sure that it's worth it now that I already know the "surprise". *sigh*

Psycho - well yeah, I've seen bits. Usually when they were comparing them to the remake. I've seen The Birds and just about every other Hitchcock movie though, so it is a bit of an omission I suppose. Seven and Reservoir Dogs both came out at a time when I really could not deal with any more explicit violence - I saw Schindler's List, In the name of the Father and Philadelphia all in one week and by mid-way through the last film (SL) I decided that if anyone else was killed I was going to have to leave. They weren't, but I didn't see another film with explicit violence for about three years. I'm also not great with violence and suspense - I saw most of Alien and Aliens from behind a cushion.

Braveheart was overhyped for me, I did want to see American Beauty though.

Oh they had Bladerunner. Blue on Blue, what can I say... :-)

"Perhaps would have enjoyed more if I had been in a better mood"

or maybe it was just the directors cut.

OK, I'm surprised by "It's a wonderful life". And you call yourself an RD fan! ;-)

[epideme.livejournal.com]

I guess I'm not a lover of Black and White films. It's falls into one of those categories of "Perhaps would have enjoyed more if I had been in a better mood"

I may try it again one day.

[hnpcc]

I quite enjoy B&W films, but I have to say I was ready to strangle the small child in this one by the end.

"Every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings!"

Yeah shut up and die, kid.

Now that would have made an interesting movie. It's A Wonderful Life as a slasher flick. Hm.
