  1. I'm going to have to go through this list and see which ones I haven't seen yet. Fight Club definitely does NOT make this list. :)

  2. Ground Hog Day? Are you serious? The rest of the list that I've seen, sure. But Ground hog day? That must have been the lowest budget film ever. They sure wouldn't have a very long recording time. I thought it was a waste. So I have to disagree about that one. I can't believe it's on your list.
