Back when I was just getting into film, I treated the IMDB top 250 like a credible list, like it wasn't a worthless list from a shitty website largely made up of boring teenage males and fanboys. Just look at the top ten; fucking ridiculous. The Shawshank Redemption: the greatest film OF ALL TIME? Nah, shit's trite as fuck. And I never fully understood everyone's fixation of 12 Angry Men. BUT! I've taken it upon myself to see, uh I don't know. top 10? 20? 20 seems a bit excessive, and I really don't want to fucking watch the Lord of the Rings movies. Fuck it. I'll just do the stuff from top 10 that I haven't already seen and then some other Hollywood schlock that IMDB-types lose their collective shit over. The films I will be viewing:

• The Godfather
• The Godfather II
• The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
• Schindler's List
• Jaws
• Seven Samurai
• The first three Star Wars movies
• Casablanca
• Se7en
• Raiders of the Lost Arc
• Alien

• The Silence of the Lambs (deserves to be revisited)
• Scarface
• Amelie (I desperately want to be part of the super-cool I AM A TRUE APPRECIATOR OF FILM AND I HATE AMELIE club, but I haven't seen this film in years and really enjoyed it all them years ago)

• The Thing (1982)
