Lots of the ones I haven't seen are from the 30's and 40's, so it's not shocking, but some of them are Chaplin or Hitchcock films that I really should sit down and watch, just for reference (Double Indemnity, North by Northwest, City Lights, Modern Times)
Some notables that I have not yet seen:
17. The African Queen
21. The Grapes of Wrath
27. Bonnie and Clyde
30. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
39. Doctor Zhivago
41. West Side Story
57. The Third Man
64. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
69. Shane
88. Easy Rider
I guess my question is, which of these are "must watch". Which should I start with? |
I was going to post this AFI list as I've had the idea that I'm going to watch all that I haven't seen, starting with 100 and moving towards 1. That's going to take some time as I've only seen 40 of them.
After just recently watching North by Northwest, Rear Window, and Chinatown I feel pretty silly having not seen these classics before.
I just recorded Lawrence of Arabia: Director's Cut. For someone that knows, is it markedly different or better than the theatrical cut?
