The many gaping holes in my cinema knowledge is the main reason I'm doing this list (I also haven't seen the likes of Gone With the Wind, JFK, To Kill A Mockingbird, Planet of the Apes and so many others, and I hadn't seen Casablanca, Sound of Music, Paths of Glory, and Buster Keaton film or the Muppet Movie before I started). Whale Rider sounds a bit twee, but I'll give it a look, I like being knocked out by a film I've underrated.JayCluitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16972011198109066985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072729371563273515.post-45470923174174023742012-06-17T03:55:30.586+01:002012-06-17T03:55:30.586+01:00I was going to ask about Singin' in the Rain, ...I was going to ask about Singin' in the Rain, but I see where you point out you haven't watched it yet. I'm not trying to spam you, but between Hero and Whale Rider, you've mentioned not yet seeing two 5 star movies for me. I highly recommend Whale Rider, too, and I wrote about it here, if you are interested: http://tipsfromchip.blogspot.com/2011/01/movie-whale-rider-2002.htmlChip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072729371563273515.post-18146522801037566772012-06-16T21:00:05.704+01:002012-06-16T21:00:05.704+01:00You can probably imagine the amount of backlash I ...You can probably imagine the amount of backlash I received from my girlfriend then. We watched Dear John the other day too, and that has a similarly ridiculous lets-just-lay-down-in-the-rain scene that would be sharing the Worst spot if I'd seen it beforehand.JayCluitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16972011198109066985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072729371563273515.post-1656521173903976572012-06-15T10:04:21.873+01:002012-06-15T10:04:21.873+01:00Great list.
