Heh, I didn't think it was possible not to have seen this movie.

1. 9.1 The Godfather (1972) 182,054
3. 8.9 The Godfather: Part II (1974) 103,262
5. 8.8 Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il (1966) 50,126
6. 8.8 Casablanca (1942) 88,712
7. 8.8 Schindler's List (1993) 131,737
12. 8.7 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) 95,411
13. 8.7 Rear Window (1954) 56,335
17. 8.6 The Usual Suspects (1995) 138,430
18. 8.6 Cidade de Deus (2002)
19. 8.6 Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

Twelve Angry Men is a movie everyone should see, not just for entertainment, but for a bit of cultural perspective. It's possible that it's been ruined to some extent because of all of the imitations in TV and film, but this is one case where I think the original is definitively better than anything that came after it.

I've tried to start Dr Strangelove a couple of times, but I started falling asleep after an hour or so both times.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The first half of the movie is pretty damn good, just because Kane is painted as such an interesting and charming person, but the movie is about the failure of the capitalist system in some ways, so in this case it's also about Kane's failure as a man, which is kinda disappointing when you have all your hopes and theatrical interest invested in the guy.

BTW Skex, I didn't get that far, but I haven't seen It's a Wonderful Life. I'm not Christian though, so that might be a factor.

I just figured since they play it every year in the U.S., people have to have seen it, even if they were around the dinner table at the time.

I should have suspected Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il was The Good The Bad and The Ugly, but something just didn't click in my head. That means my actual last movie should be Goodfellas (21).

There's nowhere I can't reach.
