I can't even take the list seriously without Dances With Wolves being on it. That sort of thing lets me be more accepting of some of these choices. Heh.

Like to see eventually:
27. Aliens (1986) while not a big fan of 'scary' movies, at one point I'd like to see the Alien movies (I think I've seen only the 3rd).
89. Breaking the Waves (1996) pops up regularly on TV. I think about watching/taping it but usually decide against it because I think it's too depressive :D.
28. Wings of Desire (1988) (This is the European movie, right? With the angel that follows that circus chick around?)
Yes it is. There's also a remake with Nic Cage and Meg Ryan 'City of Angels' which I thought wasn't too bad.
69. All About My Mother (1999) (I should own this. I love this movie.)
While I would like to see one or two of them again, in general, I don't get Almodóvar.
While your rant about Supremacy and Identity is interesting, it's obviously clear that Ultimatum is the one that should be on the list. ;P.

I'd heard that City of Angels was a remake of the other film, which is actually the only reason I've seen WOD. I think it came on IFC or something, last year. I didn't mind City of Angels either, although I was not a fan of the last half hour or so.
While I would like to see one or two of them again, in general, I don't get Almodóvar.
I don't know that I "get" him either, but I do like something about his style. I own Talk To Her, just because.
While your rant about Supremacy and Identity is interesting, it's obviously clear that Ultimatum is the one that should be on the list. ;P.
lol, NO. Just...no.
