102 Movies to See

I ran across this list on Kotte.org, who apparently cribbed it from Jim Emerson. I’ve marked the ones I’ve seen. Even though I’ve watched a lot of movies lately, I still have a lot of catching up to do. I am tickled that I’ve actually seen Un Chien Andalou, a somewhat obscure 1929 French film by Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali that features an eyeball getting slit open by a razor! If you have ever heard the Pixies song Debaser, it is about this movie. Check it out. * 2001: A Space Odyssey The 400 Blows 8 1/2 Aguirre, the Wrath of God * Alien All About Eve Annie Hall * Apocalypse Now * Bambi The Battleship Potemkin The Best Years of Our Lives The Big Red One The Bicycle Thief The Big Sleep * Blade Runner Blowup Blue Velvet Bonnie and Clyde Breathless Bringing Up Baby Carrie Casablanca * Un Chien Andalou Children of Paradise / Les Enfants du Paradis * Chinatown Citizen Kane * A Clockwork Orange * The Crying Game The Day the Earth Stood Still Days of Heaven Dirty Harry The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie Do the Right Thing La Dolce Vita Double Indemnity * Dr. Strangelove Duck Soup * E.T. — The Extra-Terrestrial Easy Rider * The Empire Strikes Back * The Exorcist * Fargo * Fight Club * Frankenstein The General * The Godfather, The Godfather, Part II Gone With the Wind * GoodFellas * The Graduate Halloween A Hard Day’s Night Intolerance It’s a Gift * It’s a Wonderful Life Jaws The Lady Eve Lawrence of Arabia M Mad Max 2 / The Road Warrior The Maltese Falcon * The Manchurian Candidate Metropolis Modern Times
