Via a whole bunch of people, none of whom bothered to include the link, Yahoo's list of 100 movies to see before you die.
I'm not bolding mine because a) I'm lazy and b) no one actually cares which 70 of them I've seen. (Though I did get a special thrill realizing how many I've seen in the theater. LOTS. More than half, for sure. God, I love Seattle)
It's worth linking though because, unlike a lot of these lists, it's really great and accessible. It includes, more or less, my top five favorite films of all time: Annie Hall, In the Mood for Love, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, and Some Like It Hot (that is the less -- the Billy Wilder slot in my top five has, in recent years, been taken over by The Apartment.)
But right there you can see how it is awesome. WKW! Almodovar! Therefore, not all of the damn movies are American! Hooray! Anyway. It's a good list. The 70% I've seen, anyway. Their Modern Classics list is really good too, with a bunch of foreign & indie stuff I love and no one else cares about. 1996 & 2007 in particular made me go all wavy hands. Lone Star, people! No one understands how I love that movie! And Hard Boiled! And Chungking Express! And All About My Mother! And Out of Sight! City of God! The Lives of Others!
Oh man. *Film*. It makes my toes curl.
