Too many to list. Includes what is left of the IMDB top 250 and bottom 100 I haven't seen, as well as nearly the complete filmography of Christopher Walken.

I was not aware you watched Movies matt. I just thought you watched Degrassi reruns.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

There are some of those I need to see, but none of them are on my personal watchlist at the moment.

4. My Neighbor Totoro
14. Another Year
17. Days of Heaven
21. Sátántangó
37. Harakiri
76. The Truman Show
82. The Fog of War
91. Melancholia
105. Shoah
108. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
109. Time of the Gypsies

These are the ones I haven't seen, though I have Harakiri out from Netflix now, and The Truman Show (which I've seen most of, but never start-to-finish), My Neighbor Totoro, and Another Year are films I'll definitely get to in the next couple months.

The Fog of War and Melancholia are the only two I'll need an extra push to see.

42. The Shop Around the Corner
56. Pickup on South Street
62. The Conversation
67. The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
69. Close-Up
87. Late Spring

111. The Human Condition I: No Greater Love
124. Red River
129. Sansho the Bailiff
131. Murder by Contract
134. Johnny Guitar
147. The Asphalt Jungle

Here is the ten percent of the top ten percent that I haven't seen. Fairly little desire to watch any of them. Forum group lists don't have a very strong predictive power of stuff I like.
