camwynGiven that I was once almost thrown out of a comic book store for insufficient coolness after revealing I had never seen either a Quentin Tarantino movie or a Kevin Smith one, I figured I'd see how poorly I did on this particular list. IMDB's Top 100 movies, with the ones I've seen in bold.

5. Schindler's List (1993) - Read the book, didn't see the movie.
6. Citizen Kane (1941)
7. Casablanca (1942) - Last twenty minutes
8. Seven Samurai (1954) - Had the opportunity, had to give the video back, will eventually rectify.

Date: 2003-12-17 06:43 am (UTC)Wow, that made me giggle.
I haven't seen all the ones you have, but I've seen quite a few you haven't, so I'm still ahead.
We're both really pathetic by the lights of people who actually watch normal movies, though. :P
Watch Amelie!
