hmmm good question. Maybe the top, as the first three provide the best opportunity to shape the discussions being films that are both well known, and have significant substance in all aspects of film making. (besides, I have those at home)

Another good question, how have I still not seen 16 films on this list?

I like the top too. Smiley

The great thing is that a lot of these films are worth watching again and again and again, so even the ones I've seen I'm looking forward to seeing again.

Wow. Do y'all really think we'll get through them all?

Instead of going straight through, what if we each took turns picking one? Would that be lame?

I'm just trying to think realistically here...

Theoretically, if we planned for a movie each weekend and a discussion that following week, we could get through the first half of the list before this time next year. AND, I'm sure there are a couple that everyone has seen that we could discuss without having to do a screening.

I'm sad "Eegah!" isn't on that list.

There is one thing you never put in a trap, if you're smart - if you value your continued existence - if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow there is one thing you never EVER put in a trap.� Me.

Listen, I don't know what sort of kids you've been flying around with in outer space, but you're not telling me to shut up!

As long as I don't bleed or cry, I'll do it!

Okay, it's decided we're going from the beggining. Since it's a busy time now, should we start in January?

I could start on Citizen Kane at any time. What kind of discussion to we want to have? Story? Techniques? Historical?
