Sean C came up with this list,100 Movies I’m Embarrassed To Admit I Haven’t Seen Yet, and I had to check which ones I had seen. I of course probably have my own list of shameful cinema. (Of ones I haven't seen and which ones I have seen in the theater.) But yes, am pretty impressed that I've seen a good chunk of 'em. In the theater, no less.

So, italics equals video, bold equals theater, and paranthesis equals saw it on tv. Also, a lot of these came out when I was seeing a lot of movies.

So, according to my calculations, have seen about 46 of them. (15 in the theater, 24 on video and 5 on tv and 1 on airplane) Not bad.

(Based on his list, these are the ones I feel I should watch. Many are ones that haven't seen yet because of their sadness or intensity. Dr. Zhivago is one of them and I'm still traumatized by the Masterpiece Theater version of it. And it's Russian. And Nightmare and Fields are biggies.)

An Affair to Remember
Angels in America (I did see the stage play.)
The Apartment
Doctor Zhivago
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Field of Dreams
The Nightmare Before Christmas

Taxi Driver
Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?

On my own personal list, the ones I am chastened I haven't seen are
