Just because I'm not huge on old movies, doesn't mean I don't know more about the new ones.

the key to this list is leaving off citizen kane (or just relegating it to a low rank) so that people know you're serious

you're a heartless man if you don't tear up at the end of that movie. it really separates the mcparadigms from the humans with the capacity for emotion.

I don't hate it. But I don't LOVE it. I just really haven't seen very many movie from the 40s. And I really love Stewart, in general. So I gave it a high mark. Those first four on my list are movies I genuinely adore.
