(Hi Fen)

 

Any of the Godfathers --never had a desire

 

IJAG: I have seen none of those.

 

That I have not seen?

Never heard of half these flicks, and the ones I do know are way past their prime.

(Seriously, if some of these would hit TCM anytime soon, I'd probably knock a few of them off.)

 

IJAG,

Wizard of Oz...get on it. Seriously. You can even sync it to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon to help it go down better.

And everyone really needs to see Lawrence of Arabia, especially in this age of high def TVs. It's probably mankind's greatest achievement in cinematography.
