    Your Top 10 Films You've Yet to See

    Nothing serious. It's kinda fun. Rank the top 10 films you haven't seen yet, meaning 10 films you're really looking forward to that you're certain you'll love. Stole it from RT. People seem to enjoy it. Here's the one I came up with:

    Berlin Alexanderplatz (Fassbinder, 1980)
    Paris, Texas (Wenders, 1984)
    Celine and Julie Go Boating (Rivette, 1974)
    Scenes from a Marriage TV (Bergman, 1973)
    My Nights are More Beautiful Than Your Days (Zulawski, 1989)
    Ulysses' Gaze (Angelopoulos, 1995)
    Zabriskie Point (Antonioni, 1970)
    Orpheus (Cocteau, 1950)
    The Human Condition (Kobayashi, 1959-1961)
    Quintet (Altman, 1979)
    Last 5 Viewed
    Riddick (David Twohy | 2013 | USA/UK)
    Night Across the Street (Raoul Ruiz | 2012 | Chile/France)*
    Pain & Gain (Michael Bay | 2013 | USA)*
    You're Next (Adam Wingard | 2011 | USA)
    Little Odessa (James Gray | 1994 | USA)*

    *recommended *highly recommended

    I can't imagine you not liking Winter Light, Time Regained and The Circus.

    I know you're not a fan of Celine and Julie or Zabriskie Point, but I think I'll like them, or at least I hope I do.

    I gotta see these 2. Is it bad that silent films still kinda intimidate me, even after all this time watching older films?:lol:

    Birth of a Nation is so awful (and not just because it led to the biggest boom in Klan membership in the first quarter of the 20th Century lol).

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Is it too complicated for you? Shall we re-word the title to "top ten films you most want to see?"

    Yeah I really need to see Husbands and Wives as well. One of the few major Allen's I haven't tackled. I'm actually quite a fan of The Lower Depths. It's not a major Kurosawa per se but I prefer it to The Bad Sleep Well, Drunken Angel, Stray Dog and The Idiot.
