I haven’t been completely buried in my work the past few weeks. I have seen a few really good movies, inspired by a book I bought in Maruzen called “1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.” It gives me an excuse to go out and rent those movies people outside my circle of immediate friends talk about. So as a result, in the past two weeks or so I’ve rented quite a few movies. Some of them were in that massive tome, and others were recommended by friends while I was browsing the aisles of the local video store.
Taxi Driver. Full Metal Jacket. Terminal. Madagascar. Johnny English. (That last one was recommended by another ALT, George, in the next town.) Plus one I’m forgetting.
And of course, the eponymous Good Morning Vietnam, a Robin Williams film I had missed for some reason.
Just curious–how many of the 1001 had you already seen? What are they?
Too many to list. Many of them are classic films like Raiders of the Lost Ark or Back to the Future. I just added two more to the list this weekend: Lawrence of Arabia and The Shining.
