There’s a lot on there that I’m actually surprised that I haven’t seen or haven’t seen all of. And a number of these films I saw as a kid and really don’t remember that much of (Yankee Doodle Dandy, My Fair Lady, etc…) Maybe sometime I’ll resubscribe to Netflix and try to watch more of these.
wow you’ve missed out on some awesome movies. go see easy rider pronto, it’s like one of the best movies ever i should be number one. bonnie and clyde is great move that up your qeue and i’m a big fan of the searchers.
You really need to see Sunset Boulevard and Double Indemnity. ASAP.
I knew posting this list was going to leave me open to these kind of replies.
I do really need to sign up for Netflix again, don’t I.
