However, this is my list o' shame, films that I want to see, or probably should see, lest I be called out on my total lack of film nerdiness. I've seen bits and pieces of a few of these, but never start-to-finish. And that's just sad. Worse, even if any of these show up on IFC or AMC, I'll be forced to sit through commercials and that's not happening, kids. Even the ol' DVR can't get me past those breaks in continuity.
Vanishing Point
Be Cool
From Dusk til Dawn
Citizen Kane (it's been saved on the DVR for months)
Natural Born Killers
Blood simple
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
North by Northwest
Rear Window

I've seen four or five of those, and If I see 2.5 movies per year, I'm doing well.

I had a really good comment..... but then I lost it when I saw Frank's picture.
Thanks Frank.
I'm with you on the Bond and Dirty Harry movies. I'll watch them anytime.
North by Northwest is my favorite Hitchcock movie, even though it's more an action film than a thriller. I liked Rear Window but always found it overrated. Vertigo and Spellbound are much better, though a lot darker.
Chinatown is awesome. So many memorable scenes in that. Robert Towne's script is a template for great screenwriting.
I liked Citizen Kane but have no interest in seeing it again.
