1001 Movies You Must See...

[Gigi]

..Before You Die. I was curious about this book and got it out from my local library. It lists 1001 of the all-time best movies, both American and foreign. I've seen 186 of them so far. (I thought it would be more than that, but I guess I haven't seen as many as I thought.) I can't post all of it here, but I did type up the list to keep for myself. Here are the movies from 1995-2003 (when the book was published):

Who would be interested in seeing more of the list?

[Claire de Cerises]

I'd like to see more of the list.

Ones I have seen (or partially seen).

Babe
Toy Story
Clueless
Fargo -- Only saw the ending on television
Independence Day-- I've seen clips on tv
Mononoke Hime - Is this Princess Mononoke? If so, I have seen it.
Titanic I saw the tv version a bit.
Sixth Sense, The
Matrix, The
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
O Brother, Where Art Thou? - AWESOME movie.
Spirited Away- Another AWESOME movie.
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The
A.I.: Artificial Intelligence- Why this movie? I thought it was pretty bad.
Chicago- The music is cool.

[twistedbrain]

Wow. I'm too tired to look through all of these, but it's cool.

[Gigi]

It might be easiest if I e-mail the complete list to whomever wants it. I have it as an Excel file. Or I could post it somewhere online.

[Claire de Cerises]

You could post it here, if you want.

[Gigi]

It's 20 pages long. (but only 91k)

[Claire de Cerises]

Hmmm... that could pose a problem. Maybe you could reduce it to a smaller font?

[Gigi]

It still will be 1001 lines long. My other thought was to just eliminate the foreign films which probably none of us have seen. That might bring it down to around 600--750.

[Claire de Cerises]

That sounds like a good idea.

[Señorita Présidenté]

I have seen:

Babe
Toy Story
Braveheart
Titanic
Saving Private Ryan
Gladiator
Meet the Parents
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Moulin Rouge!
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The

Harry Potter's not there! *sobs* Oh well, I know about a million that should be on that list that are classics. We have the book in our library. It's a very cool book. Too bad, it's in the Reference section.
