2010: One of my resolutions

 

I always consider myself a pretty fake film student because there are so many films that everybody’s watched but I haven’t. It’s almost as if I got some of hidden pleasure everytime I hear something along the lines of “WHAT?!?!?! (horrible shock look) You haven’t seen The Godfather? And you study film? How can you?”. In order to avoid this, this year I am going to watch at least 25 of those films everybody thinks I should have watched years ago. I am sure the world will be a better, more pleasant place once this has been done. Here is my list.
  1. The Godfather
  2. Star Wars
  3. The Shawshank Redemption
  4. Chinatown
  5. Taxi Driver
  6. Alien
  7. Star Trek
  8. Goodfellas
  9. City of God
  10. Requiem for a Dream
  11. A Clockwork Orange
  12. Blade Runner
  13. Brazil
  14. Se7en
  15. Terminator
  16. Kill Bill
  17. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
  18. Down By Law
  19. The Dark Knight
  20. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
  21. One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest
  22. Reservoir Dogs
  23. Superman
  24. Untouchables
  25. Lèon

    But good luck with the catch up. We can talk about them all the next time I actually leave the house to go to a show.

    >yo el padrino la vi de peque que si me dices ahora para que te cuente la historia… mal vamos.
    No pierdas en tiempo en ver la de Requiem por un sueño, es una basura. Lo único que le sala es que salga Jared, jaja
