OK, now that the MoFo Lists has become a part of the site, we should have a thread to discuss them.
It's cool if you want to discuss what's actually on the lists, which if you haven't checked them out yet are things like the various AFI and BFI lists from recent years. While they're fun to fill out and see how you stack up against other board members, part of the point, I hope, is that they serve as an encouragement and reminder about the various classic films you might not have gotten around to, for whatever reasons. That next time you are at the video store on a Saturday evening or filling up your NetFlix que and all the new releases are gone, go down those lists and look for a classic instead.
If and when you do start viewing things you hadn't seen before, come into this thread. You can give us your thoughts or reviews, or even just announce which you're checking off this time. Or, if you're like Ðèstîñy, qualify those that you've seen but you truly didn't care for. Goodness know you're probably not going to like every movie on every list (I know I don't), and some titles you may out and out despise, but even the things that don't become instant favorites are the kinds of flicks every movie fan should see at least once for themselves. Though I expect most of you will love many of these movies and wonder why you waited so long to see them.
Chat it up, y'all!
