marioinblack, I recommend Chinatown to you. It's almost tied with 12 Angry Men as my favorite film on your list, but I would sooner watch the former again than I would the later. As a corollary to that recommendation and explanation, I would suggest you watch the made-for-TV remake when you get around to seeing 12 Angry Men. Well, here's My List of Shame: The "What The gently caress Is Wrong With You" Edition. 1. Jaws- Yes, I know, I haven't seen the first big summer movie. I just never felt like watching it, and I think it's number one hundred something in my Netflix queue. 2. The Princess Bride- What I've seen from it I've found hilarious, and the cast is made up of people I love, but I have yet to watch the whole thing. 3. Terminator 2: Judgment Day- 1, 3, and 4 I have watched, but what many call the best film in the saga remains a mystery to me. 4. Ghostbusters- Comedy classic that I know next to nothing about. I want to keep it that way until I watch the movie, a movie I definitely should have seen years ago. Pretty terrible that I've seen Casper but not this. 5. Saving Private Ryan- Look I know that this is supposed to be an outing of shame, but it's getting really difficult to reveal these oversights. 6. Aliens- Only seen the original and Resurrection, and it was a very long time ago that I even watched those two. 7. The Great Escape- Fell asleep about thirty minutes in when it was on TV, because I'd been working all day. Time to fix that error. 8. 8 1/2- It's coming up in my queue, but I could always use a little extra incentive. I'm woefully uneducated in Fellini, so I need to bone up. That's all for now. At least I can take consolation in the fact that it took a while to wrack my brain and come up with several films that have firmly entered pop culture that I have yet to watch. But still, I have little excuse for most of these.

Arkane, see A Streetcar Named Desire. Sooner rather than later. Jaws was an outstanding and meticulously crafted thriller. I was iffy about it, since it began the blockbuster trend, but this hit all the right notes. The characters were well-acted and interesting, and the shark genuinely gave me a few scares, even though Marty was right, it did look kind of fake. 2. The Princess Bride- What I've seen from it I've found hilarious, and the cast is made up of people I love, but I have yet to watch the whole thing. 3. Terminator 2: Judgment Day- 1, 3, and 4 I have watched, but what many call the best film in the saga remains a mystery to me. 4. Ghostbusters- Comedy classic that I know next to nothing about. I want to keep it that way until I watch the movie, a movie I definitely should have seen years ago. Pretty terrible that I've seen Casper but not this. 5. Saving Private Ryan- Look I know that this is supposed to be an outing of shame, but it's getting really difficult to reveal these oversights. 6.
