I know... I meant 'classic' as in they are in rotation on channels like TCM because people still enjoy them and find they have a certain quality. Like Gone with the Wind, Lawrance of Arabia, Citizen Kane etc, those epic films they always show over the holidays.

bit gutted that neither of my favourites - rebecca and the red shoes - are one there. thinking about it, i can't believe there are no powell and pressburger films on the list. that's just wrong.

other than that, i'd say it was a pretty fair list. of the films i've seen, the only one i think doesn't deserve a place is west side story - the worst, most overrated film i've ever seen.

I was cured all right.

Oh man, you guys really should watch Dr. Strangelove (Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love the Bomb). It's so great. Starring Peter Sellers, Peter Sellers, and Peter Sellers.

Thanks, both of you. A lot of those are definitely on my wanting-to-see list. I'm going to run off and check the TCM schedule.

27/100. Eh, not too good. Some of these I was forced to watch in film club, and personally I don't see what all the fuss is about them. I'm sorry to all you who love Casablanca, but I just about shot myself, it was so boring. Citizen Cane wasn't nearly as bad though. I actually found it pretty entertaining. But we also had to watch Dr. Strangelove, which while funny at some parts, was completely unmemerable at most. Vertigo was just stupid, end of discussion.

However, there are quite a few here that I do really like. Shindler's LIst is a very good movie. It takes you by the balls and shoves you into the haulocost. I watched it in a world religions class one year, and I always left that class depressed. Ben Hur is another good movie, which I watched in my Latin class. It has an amazing chariot race. I also liked A Clock Work Orange. That movie, like Shindler's List, is hard to watch, but a pretty good adaptation of a phenominal book.
