El Hermo's Movie Mission

I have set myself a goal between now and the end of the year. I want to watch a movies that I have never seen before...movies that form the basis of an understanding of cinema, movies that are classic, or underrated, or artistic, or just plain wierd - but most importantly, I want to watch movies that change perceptions and inspire new ideas. Not romcoms or "Angels and Demons".

So I've developed a short list of films I want to see before the end of the year. I encourage anyone who reads this to add to this list through commenting. I'm interested in most genres - except for genuinely forgettable romcoms.

Here's my list:

Dr Strangelove

Citizen Kane

The Graduate

The Shining

Metropolis

Annie Hall

Mystic river

Crumb

This is spinal tap

Casablanca

Heat

Raging Bull

Evil Dead 2

Let the right one in

In Bruges

The Thing

Goodfellas

Wonder Boys

The Great Debaters

What do you think I should be watching?
