Bodnoirbabe: You are hereby ordered to watch Rocky. I know that Stallone turned into a cartoon character later in his career, and indeed in this movie franchise, but the first Rocky is a great movie. And pay attention to the scores at the end.

As to my own list of shame:

1. The French Connection: For a long time I dismissed this as a movie about "old men shooting revolvers".

2. Some Like It Hot: I've seen this in parts, and I remember it being hysterical, but I can't for the life of me tell you a single thing about it.

3. Do The Right Thing: I run hot and cold on Lee. This one came out while I was in a progressive/PC nightmare period in college and I just hated it on principle. I've liked a lot of his stuff since, and I'm willing to make amends.

4. Chinatown: No excuse. Just never saw it.

5. A Serious Man: I'm a huge fan 'o the Cohens, but I missed this one.

6. 12 Angry Men: I'm not a fan of courtroom dramas.

7. African Queen: No idea how I missed it.

8. THX 1138: My shame continues.

9. North By Northwest: It's a little before my time.

10: Grosse Pointe Blank: I love me some Cusak, but I didn't see this one.

You missed all of page 9.

Damned if I didn't, and I apologize. It seems, however that Twin Cinema has given me my homework assignment, so I'm off. I'll have my summary of Grosse Point Blank in a few days.

The point is you need to give Wolfgang Pauli a recommendation.

I considered that, but didn't want to give two recommendations.

That said:

WOLFGANG PAULI, I recommend that you watch City Of Lost Children.
