yet another top 100 movies list

Well, I did a little better with this list as opposed to Time’s 100 Best English Language Novels from 1923 to the Present. This time, I’ve seen a whopping 35 of the movies:

  • Barry Lyndon (1975)
  • Blade Runner (1982)
  • Brazil (1985)
  • Casablanca (1942)
  • Chinatown (1974)
  • Citizen Kane (1941)
  • E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
  • 8 1/2 (1963)
  • Farewell My Concubine (1993)
  • Finding Nemo (2003)
  • The Fly (1986)
  • The Godfather, Parts I and II (1972, 1974)
  • Goodfellas (1990)
  • It’s A Wonderful Life (1946)
  • King Kong (1933)
  • Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
  • The Lord of the Rings (2001-03)
  • The Manchurian Candidate (1962)
  • Miller’s Crossing (1990)
  • Notorious (1946)
  • On the Waterfront (1954)
  • Pinocchio (1940)
  • Psycho (1960)
  • Pulp Fiction (1994)
  • Raging Bull (1980)
  • Schindler’s List (1993)
  • Singin’ in the Rain (1952)
  • Some Like It Hot (1959)
  • Star Wars (1977)
  • A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
  • Taxi Driver (1976)
  • Unforgiven (1992)

Two thoughts:

  • I really need to see more films that aren’t in the New Releases section of Blockbuster. Actually. Let me rephrase this — I need to go to a rental store that isn’t Blockbuster. Now, if only someone would just open a rental store in Dartmouth that wasn’t Blockbuster. Or Rogers. Which is just Blockbuster Lite. End rant.
  • Where’s Big Trouble In Little China?

make with the yak-yak
