Reading everyone else's list gives me motivation to do mine!

Where do you guys get the time to do these lists?




For ordinary men, it's a burning, fiery furnace.

I did mine on the subway while coming to work. I know it's not an easy task but I appreciate everyone's effort.

I genuinely do plan to give it a go.





They flutter behind you, your possible pasts.
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.

It's going to take a lot of time. What about films that contain a significant chunk of foreign language, like The Godfather Part II?

The Godfather II or any other film that contains large segments of foreign language is fine.

\"Old theatres are irreplaceable. They could never be duplicated at today\'s costs - but more importantly, their spirit could not be duplicated because they remind us of a day when going to the show was a more glorious and escapist experience. I think a town\'s old theatres are the sanctuary of its dreams.\"-Roger Ebert
The Senator Theatre


My semi-respectable, moderately-sized collection
