The Movies

Recently my passion for movies has been ignited ferociously.  I don't know what triggered it, but if I had to guess it would be nostalgia.  Anyway, I've decided to compile a list of some of the best movies that I've never seen before and watch one a day in the month of June.  I'll probably create a spin-off blog or something.  This list is also subject to change at my whim, so stay tuned.

Anyway, here is the list of movies that I am required to see but somewhat amazingly have not (or not, I'm updating this for new releases/discoveries):

American Beauty

  2. I've haven't seen many of these, although many are also on my list of movies to watch soon. Anyway, I love that 'American Beauty' and 'Requiem for a Dream' are at the top of this list - both are fantastic!
