[The Argonaut]

I have a pared-down version of the by-year thing Anders did. I wrote a spreadsheet with a movie for each year going back to 1922 that I'd like to work my way through. It's a way of forcing/tricking myself into watching stuff I've been meaning to watch but haven't gotten around to yet for whatever reason (it's long, it seems challenging, I don't love the director)

[Mickey]

That's a great idea, maybe I'll put something like that together

[Mickey]

Would love to see your personal list btw

[Simple Torture]

I’m glad this thread got off to a feisty start!

Some great ones in there. I'm a big booster of The Great Beauty even though most of Sorrentino's work since then is disappointing. Will be interested to see what you think of Zama, I found it interminable and I feel like I have a pretty high tolerance for slow movies.

[Simple Torture]

How have you not seen Babe???

[BurtReynolds]

Watch Babe 2

[The Argonaut]

How have you not seen Babe???

I saw it when I was a kid, but not as an adult.

Watch Babe 2

I remember this one making me cry my eyes out when I was a kid. The moment on the bridge with the dog.
