kation's "List One: The O'Brien List"

Add to my lists | Print this list

I would just like to start by saying that you did ask for this. I only hope that you won’t live to regret it. Based on the list you sent me, you have already seen a number of classic films and quite a variety of other movies as well, which made coming up with a list for you something of a challenge at times. I have given you at least one title from each decade since the silent era and I have tried to cover as many genres as I possibly could. As requested I tried to emphasize films that you should see but have not yet, and threw in some odds and ends in there to spice things up. If there is a movie on here that you have seen, let me know and will replace it with another title. Since I am going off the list you sent to me that shouldn’t happen, but we’re not totally ruling out the possibility of computer error. They don’t need to be watched in any particular order, but if I might suggest, I would watch #25 before #17. Just a thought. The only thing I ask in return is that if you actually choose to watch these movies you tell me what you thought of them. I hope you get the chance to see them, and that you enjoy them as much as I have. And without further ado….
