Films in bold are personal faves.

Ugh, I didn't care for Intolerance at all. It tried too much and failed completely.

stennie11/10/2004

Where is Footloose?

darktremor09/06/2009

Try looking on One Star Flicks.

Penny03/22/2005

I see a lot of my favorite movies here -- except for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (but I disagree with almost everyone about that). No Reservoir Dogs?

Critico06/01/2005

That thing you do?

CaptMal06/18/2007

Mm. This is a good list.

The only ones I make exception to:

L'Age d'Or
Duck Soup
Bride of Frankenstein
The Adventures of Robin Hood
The Wizard of Oz
Kind Hearts and Coronets
The Killing
8½
The Pianist

Those are the only ones I truly dislike (there are a select few others I'm iffy on)...but considering how many flicks you've got here, that's fucking great.

You do not know how glad I am to see A Hard Day's Night here, and the fact that neither A Clockwork Orange nor Fight Club made it.
