Citizen Kane, Casablanca, 12 Angry Men, Paths of Glory, Vertigo, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Seven Samurai, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Sunset Blvd., Lawrence of Arabia, A Clockwork Orange, M, The Third Man, The Great Dictator, The Maltese Falcon, The Killing, etc.......

Well, these are all classic but it is 70's and earlier.
Haha, sorry, I've seen every one of those except Sunset Belvd and The Great Dictator, but I'll check those two out. I appreciate the amount of noir, though, :D
You have watched all these??? I wish I could do the same :JGLface:

Cinema is my life. I live it, breathe it, I am it. I watch them all the time, and luckily, I've gotten at least a couple of friends out of my main group of 12 or so people into film, so that works out well.

Also, me and my girlfriend were in an awful car crash a year and a half ago, and I was bed bound for 3/4 months, and had a long recovery time. So... I didn't do anything except watch movies once all my friends left for school. Me and her watched one to two per day. Literally. For like, 5 months. (many were re-watches). So I kind of ...ran out of movies to watch anyway.

There's a film here or there I haven't seen that I should, but I've kind of seen everything.

Yeah, I decided not to cut my hair or shave my beard until I could walk perfectly again. It was epic, and manly.

Here's a photo of me 3 months before I cut/shaved. Imagine how I looked the. It was amazing.

I'm the one who looks like a homeless person who killed a rich guy and stole his clothes.
