12 Angry Men (1957) --- Yes, I had watch it in high school. I was bored out of my mind

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) --- Yes, my husband made me watch as some rite of passage to our relationship. It was our fourth date and I had a feeling I was going to be tested on it.

The 400 Blows (1959) --- No

8 ½ (1963) --- No

All About Eve (1950)--- No

Annie Hall (1977)--- No

Apocalypse Now (1979) --- I was forced to watch this in college. I don't remember why. I do remember that I also had to watch Fahrenheit 451 in that class as well. My professor obviously had a hard on for weird mind-fuck movies.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) --- This is one of those movies you watch and you feel like you should be impressed and moved and then you sort of feel like an backward idiot when you aren't. At least, that's how I feel.

Anyways-- we had a choice between two movies once-- Space Camp and ET -- I voted for Space Camp but most of the twits in my class voted for ET. I hate that movie.

Enter the Dragon (1973) --- I had a boyfriend in college who thought Bruce Lee was the second coming of Christ.
