FancyMike, ya gotta watch Taxi Driver!

Made a somewhat varied list here, just skimming through the IMDB top 250:

1. Seven Samurai - I guess the daunting length has prevented me?
2. Rear Window - Haven't seen much Hitchcock.
3. Once Upon a Time in the West - Haven't found any westerns I care for, other than The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
4. Sunset Blvd - This one always seemed "meh" to me
5. Aliens - I'm sorry :(
6. M - I enjoyed Metropolis...
7. Spirited Away - I find Miyazaki to be pretty weird.
8. Amadeus - No excuses. I've had this one lying around for a while.
9. All About Eve - Do I really wanna watch a movie that's ALL about Eve?
10. Annie Hall - Woody strikes me oddly...

mikewozere, watch The Deer Hunter. There's a lot of themes to it besides suicide.

Watched Amadeus and I thought it was great. Surprised at how watchable a 3 hour period piece was, but the characters were very engaging. Such horrifying accents, though.

Arkane, if you're sticking to a theme, then watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Very good film :)

Watched Aliens and thought it was pretty good, not blown away though. Probably because I've been over-exposed to every element of it in other action movies since, which is unfair, but what can I do v:shobon:v

Arkane, you have to watch Elizabeth. I thought it was very interesting. Not my favorite but I dunno what else to pick from your list :v:

I watched All About Eve and I was very surprised with it; didn't expect such a full, rich story, and the dark comedy elements were pretty drat great. Loved it.
