Jeez, these guys are organized; I’m not sure I could come up with anything like a top 20 list, especially one that ranks the movies relative to one another. I do have an informal list of films that I’ll re-watch, though, and a fairly representative excerpt follows:
- Annie Hall
- The Iron Giant
- Lola rennt (aka Run Lola Run)
- Magnolia
- Citizen Kane
- Close Encounters of the Third Kind
- La vita è bella (aka Life is Beautiful)
- Contact
- Monty Python and The Holy Grail
- TRON
- Wag the Dog
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
I’m a little surprised at the number of flicks listed on the other two lists that I haven’t seen: The African Queen, In the Name of the Father, The Cider House Rules, Fearless, Lone Star, Schindler’s List and Wonder Boys. Apocalypse Now and Young Frankenstein would’ve been on that list until about a month ago; neither cracked the re-watch list per se, although I might check out AN: Redux out of curiosity.
Update: Looks like Kimota94 posted another list while I was writing. Add 12 more movies to my haven’t-seen list and one (The Godfather) to the just-seen.
