Also...
Since this list started this morning, Kill Bill Vol. 1 has moved up to 99 on the list.
Woot!

Amelie is good, I recommend.
posted by Doyce, January 14, 2004 03:51 PM
I can loan you several the ones you haven't seen -- only two of which (Casablanca, The Manchurian Candidate) you italicized, alas.
posted by *** Dave, January 14, 2004 03:55 PM
I have a problem italicizing stuff that predates my parents.
It's a moral failing. I recognize this.
posted by Doyce, January 14, 2004 04:31 PM
75%. Not too bad.
posted by Randy, January 14, 2004 05:59 PM
As for "old movies" I personally think that
Lawrence of Arabia, Paths of Glory and Metropolis are must sees. Check out the extra long Larry of Araby.
