I now have a list. We are trying to force our illiterate kids to get culture. Hadn't thought of consulting the AFI before, so thanks.<BR/><BR/>I lived in Goleta for a long time.

I think I even wrote a paper on it. Still have no idea what happened.<BR/><BR/>Which scenes in Singin in the Rain did you fast-forward? That and It's a Wonderful Life are two of my favorites. IaWL has so many classic one-liners.<BR/><BR/>Th., I didn't realize you were a fan of Hitchcock. We should talk about this.

My parents are wishing they'd bought a house in Oxnard and stuck around. The main thing keeping me from applying is the stupid cost of living. Well, and the fact that I'm not so sure about whether I want to do Film Studies or stick to Spanish or Comp Lit. I need to decide.FoxyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950095008611661757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15224520.post-42657957019773213032007-07-20T23:09:00.000-07:002007-07-20T23:09:00.000-07:00.Shadow was Hitch's favorite as well, and I, the G....<BR/><BR/>Shadow was Hitch's favorite as well, and I, the Great Hitchophile, haven't seen it yet. So I must forgive all others any crime.<BR/><BR/>UCSB is a great school in a great town, but a town even <I>more</I> expensive than Seattle.

In the literary world, for example, James Joyce is "Significant" but by no stretch is he good.<BR/><BR/>The Searchers is probably one of my favourite westerns, maybe because John Wayne almost acts in it.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888474965039594531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15224520.post-24913849132467739642007-07-20T10:03:00.000-07:002007-07-20T10:03:00.000-07:00I agree that there are a lot of movies on here tha...I agree that there are a lot of movies on here that are "significant" but maybe not artistically fabulous.<BR/><BR/>Citizen Kane is kind of like the Hamlet of film studies. I've watched it for several classes and studied it a lot, but it's still not my favorite or anything. Does that make Casablanca the Romeo and Juliet of film? <BR/><BR/>I've seen 1,3,8,9,10,11,13,17<BR/><BR/>I feel embarrassed about some of the ones I've never seen (like "It's a Wonderful Life"). I also think it's funny that I haven't ever seen Psycho, even though I've seen a bunch of other Hitchcock. I love Vertigo, but I still think Shadow of a Doubt is one of my personal faves.<BR/><BR/>You should watch The Graduate. It's a little dated, but still fun. <BR/><BR/>Now I need to go watch more movies. Especially because I'm considering applying for the Film and Media Studies PhD at UCSB.FoxyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950095008611661757noreply@blogger.com
