I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

French Connection
The Conversation
Get Shorty
He's great in Royal Tenenbaums but there are other aspects of that movie that I don't like
Get Shorty is a good call.
French Connection would probably be my #1. I need to watch The Conversation.

I'm extremely embarrassed to admit this, but I have not seen it either

What can I say? I've got a lot of blind spots, but I'm working on it. Hell, this afternoon I'm watching Rocky for the first time.

I know you hate westerns, but it really goes beyond westerns. It just happens to be set in the old west.

This is one of the few films I can think of that is universally loved and praised. In all aspects of my life I find people who adore this movie. I believe it's really great. And I know it doesn't seem like it (because I haven't seen it yet) but I am actually excited to watch it at some point.
There are a few Westerns that I love. I imagine this one will be the best of all of them once I finally get around to it.
