But do you really need to see Donnie Darko before you die?

[Joe Brady]

Erin Brockovich? The Breakfast Club? Princess Mononoke?

"Terminator 2" is really stretching it. REALLY.

This list kinda sucks, really. For starters, as you can tell by my avatar, why wouldn't "The Bicycle Thief" be there?

[Boogen]

i would say that at least half of the films on the list don't NEED to be seen at all. Certainly not before you die. Some of them might make for some fun post-mortem fun, though.

some odd choices indeed.

What's weird is that I saw the list for this on the Movie Connections link under Pink Flamingos.

I don't get the love for Lagaan or a few of the other flicks aren't that, but it's still better than any crap list from Bravo or one of the Viacom teen machine networks.
