OKay, here it is. The longest post I will ever post! Due to the requests of a few people, namely Char and Amie, I have below a huge list of films that everyone MUST see. Basically, if you see these you will have a crash course in film history not to mention seeing over 100 great films. Now I know some of these people won't enjoy and if you don't,

I'm close

Okay, I've seen 107 of them. Not bad I guess. I thought you didn't like Altman's "3 Women". Was this list 'movies you should see to know film history' or 'movies you should see to know film history that I've enjoyed'? Sweet list though.

I enjoyed 99% of these. And I needed to put an Altman up there and "3 Women" is the best choice. I didn't love it persay, but it is def. a thinker and I did enjoy it. Just didn't love it as much as I thought I would. I was going more for, "movies that are important" and the film history aspect. And you beat all my friends here so far (granted the film majors haven't looked at it, but not bad)...what are you missing?

You better see them all! You're missing out. All of those are really solid. I would say especially... but all of them deserve that so...see them!

I'm definitely not close

So, I have only seen 38 of these. Whoa. I have a lot of movie watching to do. Thanks for the list. I'll get started right away. -Amie
