greenfruit's "Films that I Want to See"

I am going to try to list movies which are not on other lists I’m working on (though I know there will be some overlap). This list will probably be continually expanding and changing.

#1 – 17: 9/10/08 – After listing my first 4 movies, I noticed that I was unconsciously following a certain theme. I decided to go with it and list more films that I want to see within that same theme (political campaigns & presidential politics). I obviously have the upcoming presidential election on my mind. (updated – 9/18/08)
