the searchers is cool, i'm not a western fan but i make an exception for that.

I have never actually watched "It's a Wonderful Life". Apparently I am now predisposed to becoming a cynical and emotionally stunted individual.

I saw most of these in film class in transition year.

Battleship Potemkin - a load of crap
Citizen Kane - didnt mean much to me
Chinatown - not bad, good even
Rashumon - excellent
seventh seal - err fell asleep during it

there was a few more i dont care to mention. The problem I had with most of these "classics" is that they are old. When I watch a film, I should not have to understand that this was good when it was released. I should only have to evaluate it as it is now. Another possible reason for my disliking of most of them is that they were forced upon me. I wouldn't reccomend Battleship Potemkin to anyone ever.

Films I should see:
Godfather trilogy
many more cuz i dont know what they are yet!

I've never seen The Sound of Music or The Wizard of Oz and I don't particularly want to either.

I've seen parts of that one, but I don't think I've actually watched the whole thing... can't remember it, if I have! I would like to see that one re-made.

Umm.. there are a bunch of suspense movies that some of my friends have seen that I've wanted to see, but haven't had a chance to yet: Signs, Flightplan... and some others... just can't think now.

tbh forget the godfather films, read the book instead... way better IMO.
