Movies to See

[hollyking]

Last night I was watching Zorro: The Gay Blade (1981) with loba and I said that it was a film I think everyone should watch at least once. I’ve been thinking today of making a list of movies I think everyone should see. I’m very curious to see what list anyone else would make.

The American Film Institute has many their 100 Years… 100 Lists which is various lists of the 100 best films. I was looking at the 25 Greatest Movie Musicals and I was shocked to see that Oklahoma! (1955) and South Pacific (1958) weren’t on the list.

Here’s the list of the musicals. I’ve bolded the ones I’ve seen.

5. Cabaret

Once again politics keeps The Rocky Horror Picture Show off the list.

While I love RHPS it isn't great enough to make the top 25. Top 100 yes, but not top 25. ;)

Do you really want to start going down the list of things to see that you haven't seen?
