NLR – I should be ASHAMED of myself! Scorsese and Allen especially.

And I need to add Ants. Great movie.

AND HAPPY GILMORE! What an IDIOT!

Will be added, as soon as I am done with my game preview on americansoccerreader

you list is sadly lacking my friend.

Lets start with the basics;

Woody Allen – Manhattan, Annie Hall, Stardust Memories, Love and Death
Scorsese – Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Last Temptation Of Christ, kundun, Goodfellas
kuberick – Paths of Glory, Dr Strangelove, 2001
Fellini – La Strada, La Dolce Vita, Armacord, 8 1/2

then you can move on to French New Wave, Japanese Film, Terry Gilliam, Coppola, Peckinpah, Sergio Leone, Spike Lee, Hitchcock, etc.

Im available for condescending private tutelage.

it’s all good. just not my style that’s all. then again I have very distinct taste in films…in case you haven’t noticed (like you couldn’t, lol) I am VERY opinionated, which makes me kind of a jerk sometimes

That said I will have to give Coming to America a try, considering both you and Berger’s raving testimony.

My family and I are always quoting Wallace Shawn in Princess Bride. “So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you!”

What else…

Groundhog Day
Willy Wonka
Walk the Line
Princess Bride (worst movie ever)

Aside from Sandlot & Walk the Line, I’m sorry, but man, that list is SOOOO not my style. I stopped watching about half the movies on the list.
