Over the last year, between work and school, I have been getting with more and more people (not 'getting with them') and many conversations end up talking about movies. However, as much as I love movies, compared to most people I deal with - I have seen almost nothing.
If anyone here just grabbed 10 movies off the top of their head, I can assure you that I have probably not seen more that 3 of the 10, probably less, if any at all. Try it, put down 10 good movies and I will tell you what I have not seen.
I do watch movies, go to the theater, etc., but I have certainly not seen the 100's of movies made in the last 20 years that would be considered 'good'
I guess what I am saying is that I need to start seeing some. I have a nice home theater setup, but with school and work, and family always around (leave me the he11 alone!!! ), it is hard to lock myself in my room for a few hours to watch a film. I have been pondering Netflix.com for a while, as I need to start seeing movies like:
-A Clockwork Orange
-Alien (all of them)
-The first 2 Terminator movies
-Indiana Jones (I am sure I have seen them, but no clue what they are even about...)
-Pulp Fiction (saw 20 minuites of it a year ago)
-The Shining
While those are examples of Sci-Fi/Action films, there are many more, probably over 100 films I really should see.
I know with Netflix, I probably won't wait 3 weeks to get 'A Clockwork Orange' - as it is not in high demand.
