Right, Rhys Jose. I have just looked through a list of 1000 or so top movies you should see before you die, to see how I am doing. If you ever want to be in a conversation about cinema, Ive picked out 200 from ones Ive seen or know to be important, with a skew towards the modern (as the general publics memory is short). If you can watch half, or even a quarter of these, youll be able to cope at most dinner parties or social situations, youll get more jokes and youll enjoy them. Or, if you dont care, at least youll know what you are missing out on. Anyone think Ive missed any other films that should be seen to understand general conversation?
