Jenna, you should watch your Hitchcock movies...I notice you haven't seen a lot of those.

Also, please watch Cidade de Deus (City of God). It is a fantastic movie, very powerful and moving. One of the best I've seen...amazing. Subtitled, but I feel it is a can't miss movie.

And Rashomon is my absolute favorite Kurosawa movie...a crime told from multiple viewpoints and each telling exposes more information about the crime and what really happened. It's a brilliant film, IMO.

I'm also a bit suprised you haven't seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest...my favorite Jack Nicholson movie...but since Jack's a Laker Fan, maybe that's why. ;)


And why haven't you seen Return of the King when you've seen the other two?

I concur...I thought that would be a movie that EVERYONE has seen. I don't think I know anyone who has not seen that movie.

i know. i have a huge list of "should watch," but i never seem to make headway.

Also, please watch Cidade de Deus (City of God). It is a fantastic movie, very powerful and moving. One of the best I've seen...amazing. Subtitled, but I feel it is a can't miss movie.

i must have missed that on the list. i have seen it already.

And Rashomon is my absolute favorite Kurosawa movie...a crime told from multiple viewpoints and each telling exposes more information about the crime and what really happened. It's a brilliant film, IMO.

i'll add it to my list.

I'm also a bit suprised you haven't seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest...my favorite Jack Nicholson movie...but since Jack's a Laker Fan, maybe that's why. ;)

i have this on the "never will watch" list. i rented it once, right after i read the book (i love love love the book, in my top three of all time). i put it in, watched the first five minutes and realized i would only be disappointed by it. never tried to watch it since.

And why haven't you seen Return of the King when you've seen the other two?

i don't know. desire and opportunity never coincided. i think that a part of it is that i feel like i would want to watch the other two again before watching that one, to make sure i remember the story well. so suddenly it becomes an almost nine hour commitment instead of just 2 or 3.

Renz, you absolutely MUST see American History X, Hotel Rwanda and Crash. Those three movies should be required viewing for every single high school student in America.

Reservoir Dogs and Fight Club have been on my list of "must see" movies for a while. I'll try to get to them and the Lord of the Rings triology (no, I haven't see it) this coming weekend.

I have seen American History X, I missed that one on the list. Very good film. I'll put the other two on my list to see soon.

I was surprised at how many people haven't seen Fight Club. It's probably about #5 on my list of favorite movies of all-time.

I was surprised at how many people haven't seen Fight Club. It's probably about #5 on my list of favorite movies of all-time.

I've seen bits and pieces of it, but not the whole thing all the way through.

I have seen American History X, I missed that one on the list. Very good film. I'll put the other two on my list to see soon.

Edward Norton is incredible in that movie. Absolutely incredible.

Wow what an awful list. There are a ton of movies to see ahead of most of those b4 u die.

Do you just disapprove of the list, because you think that other movies are more deserving? Which movies should be on there instead?
