Finally got to see Seven Samurai. Wow, that was an amazing film. Loved the interaction between the samurai, as well as the interaction between the samurai and the farmers. The battle scenes were a bit difficult to follow, but I managed to figure out what was going on. Loved the samurai planning how to defend the village. Also loved the antagonistic, as well as cooperative interaction between the farmers and samurai.

Finally got to see Once Upon a Time in the West Great movie. Different from the Dollars Trilogy. Much slower paced and more thought provoking. Great musical score by Ennio Morricone. Sergio Leone doesn't disappoint.

Saw Amadeus. It was very good. The music was great. I'm glad that they chose to highlight Mozart's music rather than play it as just background music. I like classical music, but don't really know the difference between Mozart, Bach, etc. but I really enjoyed the music. I really didn't care for either Mozart or Salieri, but you couldn't help but feel sorry for Salieri because he couldn't measure up to Mozart.

Just watched Double Indemnity. Wow, very good movie. Easy to get drawn into the story. Barbara Stanwick was great as the femme fatale, and you good just feel the rottenness and corruption oozing off her. Fred MacMurray was surprisingly good as Walter Neff. I loved his interactions with Keyes in the movie.

The Day the Earth Stood Still was ... OK. Maybe it was a somewhat new concept in 1951, but after decades of seeing old Twilight Zone and original Star Trek episodes, the whole humans are a danger to the universe stories seem kind of old to me. The acting also wasn't really great shakes either. Felt like I was watching an old Twilight Zone episode. Wasn't bad, just OK.

Saw 12 Angry Men and I was very impressed by it. A very nice look into the American judicial system.

Saw Ed Wood and I really enjoyed it. Martin Landau and Johnny Depp were great. Not knowing anything about Ed Wood or having seen any of his movies, I was constantly surprised with where the movie went, and how funny parts of it were. I also liked the relationship between Wood and Lugosi. One of the best movies (tied with Seven Samurai) I've been recommended on this thread.

Sunset Boulevard. Was very impressed with it. Better than the other Wilder picture I saw, Double Indemnity. (and I liked Double Indemnity). Gloria Swanson was very creepy as Norma Desmond. Liked how it explored the dark side of Hollywood.

Was very impressed by The Dark Knight. Had a little trouble getting into the story at the beginning, but once I was in, it was a non-stopped thrill ride. It was not only a good superhero movie, it was a good movie in general. Was a character study of not only Batman, The Joker, Harvey Dent, etc. but also the people of Gotham as well as the audience in general.

Just saw Plan 9 From Outer Space. Of course it wasn't what you would consider a good movie, but I will say it was enjoyable. The pie plates flying over Hollywood was memorable, as was the bad dialogue and inconsistencies. It probably did start the 'So Bad It's Good' meme. Loved the aliens 'Stupid, Stupid' dialogue.

Brazil was a good not great movie on first viewing. However it seems to be the type of movie that grows on you after multiple viewings. That's fine with me since there are a few movies I grew to like after multiple viewings. The visuals were very impressive and Jonathan Pryce did a great job as Sam Lowry. However I found the story somewhat long and the plot didn't seem to hold together as much as I'd like.

Yojimbo was great. I've seen three Kurosawa films on this thread, and I've enjoyed them all. Looking forward to the next one. I knew that A Fistful of Dollars was kind of a copy of it, but that was blatant theft. (The Dollars trilogy is still some of my favorite films though).

I was tasked with seeing No Country for Old Men along with watching There Will Be Blood since I mentioned that I always seemed to get there titles confused. I enjoyed both movies.

Old Country for Old Men was a great movie. The scenery was great. The story was interesting. I was a bit disappointed when Moss ws killed, but I see now that that made the movie better than if it ended conventionally.

There Will Be Blood was an interesting story about greed and corruption. seemed to like Daniel Plainview when the movie started, but he slowly started to lose his morality and become more and more unlikeable. The truth is there really was no likeable characters in the movie.

The Hidden Fortress was a solid Kurosawa movie. Not one of his best, but still very good. Mifune was good as always, and the lady playing the princess was good too. The peasants were also funny in parts. Loved the mix of humor and action.

Also saw Dracula since penismightier twice mentioned how bad it was. I thought it was OK until the end. Not good, but OK. Lugosi was good as was the guy who played Renfield. However, I thought the ending was very weak. I've never read the book or saw any other version before, so I'm not sure if the ending of the book is any different, but it just seemed to be a tacked on happy ending. I wouldn't say it was terrible, but definately very below average.

My List:
It's a Wonderful Life - This is on every Christmas, and yet I have never seen it.

Best In Show - Lots of people have said that this movie is hysterical, and I could use a good comedy now.

Lawrence of Arabia - I've seen this has been recommended a lot. Haven't seen it yet.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - Loved Newman and Redford in the Sting, so I am looking forward to seeing this.

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life - Only Monty Python movie I've seen is The Holy Grail. I am very interested in seeing the other ones.

Cars - Only Pixar movie that I haven't seen.

Ikiru - I've only seen Kurosawa's samurai movies, but this one appers to be somewhat different.

My Fair Lady - I'm going to stick with musicals in this spot.

Frankenstein - Now that I've seen Dracula, this seems to be the natural next pick.

The Public Enemy - Never saw any James Cagney film.

Movies Seen: Seven Samurai, Dune, Singin' in the Rain, Animal Crackers, Once Upon a Time in the West, Amadeus, Double Indemnity, The Day the Earth Stood Still, 12 Angry Men, Ed Wood, Sunset Boulevard, The Dark Knight, Plan 9 From Outer Space, Brazil, Rashomon, Yojimbo, No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood, M, Duck Soup, The Princess and the Frog, Sanjuro, The Hidden Fortress, Dracula

Blazing Saddles - Keeping up with the comedy theme, I just watched the Mel Brooks & Dick Cavett special that HBO aired when I realized I have never seen this.

Never saw this, but this is one of those movies I'd like to see so I'll assign this one to you.

It's a Wonderful Life Wow. I can see why this is such a Christmas classic. Very touching and sentimental. I was tearing up at the end when all of George's friends gave him the money. Jimmy Stewart was very good, and Lionel Barrymore was appropriately evil.

My List:
A Christmas Carol(1951) - This is the 1951 version with Alistair Sim as Scrooge. I've heard it is as good as the George C. Scott version, which I liked.

Best In Show - Lots of people have said that this movie is hysterical, and I could use a good comedy now.

Lawrence of Arabia Really solid movie. The music was unbelievable and the cinematography was great. The desert location really became its own character in this movie. While I thought it was good, I think the second part of the movie wasn't as good as the first part (or maybe I was just getting tired by the end)

My List:

Ikiru - Well made movie about a man dying of cancer and the impact he has with his city. Takashi Shimura was awesome as Watanabe. Bit slow at the end as you wait for his associates to realize he was responsible for the park and that he knew he was going to die.

Neutron Bandit, while I'm tempted to recommend Unforgiven since I love Eastwood, I have to select Citizen Kane. Orson Welles is great in that movie. Make sure to listen to Roger Ebert's commentary if you can.

Kagemusha - Kurosawa continues to impress me. Solid story with great visuals and music. The story of how an impersonator can assume another persons life was impressive.

Red Beard. I have to say that as impressed as I am with Kurosawa'a samurai movies, sometimes his non-samurai movies are just as impressive. I thought Sahachi's story was a bit soap opera-ish, but by the time Otoyo's story was nearing completion, I was hooked. Mifune was great, as always. The cinematography was great, as always. Kurosawa sure knows how to tell a story.

Saw Monty Python's Life of Brian. Very nice satire of religious believers. I am somewhat religious(I do try to go to church each week). But I believe this was a spot on account of some of the more mindless following of religious doctrine and symbolism. Brian really hit the nail on the head when he said that people should think for themselves and not blindly follow people. Not an insult to religious doctrine by itself, just the mindless following some of their followers of it. Graham Chapman was great as Brian.

Also saw Cars, which has been on my list forever and nobody was picking for me to watch. It was ... OK. Not a bad movie, but certainly not one of Pixar's best. No where near Wall-e, Ratatouie, or the Toy Story movies. The relationship between Lightning McQueen and Mater was touching at times. But the rest was kind of blah.

Adaptation was a very fascinating movie. Nick Cage did a very good job as Charles Kaufman. A nice deconstruction of the screenwriting and adaptation process, with some laugh out loud moments. Loved the changes made in the adaptation as the movie was progressing.
