At the beginning of the year I attempted to knock some films off my “Must See List” by selecting five films a month to watch. Needless to say, my plans were derailed by March as other film watching priorities arose. I am now committed to getting my plan back on track but with one twist. Instead of tackling the same never-ending list as before, I have decided to revamp things a little bit.
Below, in no particular order, is a list of films that will make up my new and improved “Must See List”. As you will notice there are 50 blank spots. This is where you movie loving readers come in. I want your help selecting the remaining films. In the comments section, list what films you think are a must for any cinema lover. These can be anything from Academy award winners to zany genre films, big budget blockbuster to a poorly made blaxploitation film, foreign film to...well you get the point. Basically if there is a film you love, that is not already on the list, then I want to hear about it. I will update the list based on your suggestions, assuming I have not already seen the film, each week until the list is filled.
