32 out of a hundred… That’s worse than I thought… gotta start watching.
kalafudra's Stuff 
I’ve seen 10 out of 100. Out of these ten I’ve seen 2 (Sophie’s coice and All quiet on the western front) which you haven’t seen.
My educational gap deepens. : P
Maybe we should really do a book and movies club where we can catch up on our classics. I feel a great longing for humanities between toddlers and law. If you’d be interested, I think I’d have time to start reading freetime books and watching freetime movies in September.
I’m all for a club of some kind. Although earlier tries to build one always ended after a pretty short time, maybe we can keep it going this time.
Or at least, we could get it started. :)
… yes, our clubs don’t quite work out but in the end it doesn’t matter ;)
I wanted to give you a call a few times, but then something happened (like C. having an accident involving her knee and the floor, or like baby-A. crying etc.) and then I never got around it somehow. I’ll make A. babysit the kids on the weekend and call you – maybe you could suggest a certain time where I can reach you best : P It seems so silly that I have to plan a phonecall but it is true.
deadra’s back home and I survived uni today, so how about a call tomorrow?
I’ll try, and maybe you can try, too. :)
I’ve seen 17 completely and remember them.
There are 20 more that I remember having seen at least bits and pieces of, sometimes vaguely. “Spartacus” and “High Noon”, for example, are favourites of my father’s. I remember Charlton Heston rowing…and dusty John Wayne waiting in front of a dusty saloon waiting for other dusty people to come so he could shoot them.
*sigh* Shame on me.
I don’t think I ever wanna see a John Wayne movie… So, I’ll probably never make the complete list.
Let’s work on this together. :)
28 gesehn. auch nicht so toll, aber diese liste ist auch ein schas, wenn ich das so sagen darf.
schindlers liste in den top 10??? bei einer guten liste duerfte der nichtmal unter die besten 100. city lights nur platz 76. pffffft.
aber was du auf jeden fall sehen solltest: 2001, taxi driver, north by northwest (und rear window, sag mal, verweigerst du hitchcock?), cabaret und den dritten mann. oh und intolerance vielleicht mal im filmmuseum.
vom rest kenn ich ur viel nichtmal vom hoeren.
und wtf ist yakee doodle dandy?
Jede Top irgendwas Liste hat ihre Probleme – ich finde, es sind auch nur gute Startpunkte für Gespräche und Diskussionen.
Kennst du eine Top 100 Liste, die deinem Geschmack mehr entspricht?
Und ich verweigere Hitchcock nicht – ich habe die Vögel gesehen, zumindest – aber irgendwie bin ich halt nie dazu gekommen. Aber ich plane noch, mir seine Filme anzuschauen.
yankee doodle dandy ist irgendwie die Geschichte von einem Musical-Schreiber oder so.
Die ganze Liste ist halt total US-zentriert. Ich hab auch nicht alle gekannt.
