  1. You should see Rosemary's baby.. it's so weird.. and don't bother with Changeling.. longest movie ever and not impressive. At all. You should also finish Vertigo and watch Rear Window and North by Northwest. 2001: A Space Oddessey was sooooo boring... I can't believe you never saw Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away.. And I thought you saw Streetcar... Weren't you talking about Marlon Brando being a babe or something?

  3. Rosemary's Baby is definitely on my list, along with Rear Window, Vertigo and North by Northwest. I've heard that stuff about Changeling and 2001... I also watched part of Casablanca and got bored, but then again it was New Year's Eve and late and I didn't really feel like watching that movie... I'll try it again.. I don't think I've seen Streetcar. Marlon is a babe in On the Waterfront...

  4. Seven Samurai is one of my all time favorites. You should definitely check that one out. Also Butch Cassidy, Casablanca, City Lights, The General, and I thought Changeling was really good. So many gret movies on this list, and a few I really don't think should be here...

  5. Yeah I do wanna see Seven Samurai at some point. I agree that there are more than a few that don't belong too. What is City Lights? I've never even heard of it
