That one is my favorite silent film of all.
Ones I never bothered with:
Forrest Gump
Shawshank Redemption
Lord of the Rings
Sixth Sense
Toy Story
One I ought to have seen:
Yankee Doodle Dandy

Wow...Really ? How did you avoid those five ? Seems tough...Gump is an overly sentimental lump, but the others are worth checking out, yes, even Shamalamadingdong's movie, which is his only decent film.. (Though, I think one must be into the sort of LOTR type things to enjoy Jackson's opus fully...)..
Will get around to Sunrise eventually, I guess...Silents are my weaker area in film...

Shawshank I'd give a go, top IMDB rating, FWIW
Sixth Sense put me to sleep in the cinema
I don't like Pixar and all those computer animated films
Lord of the Rings not my cuppa
Forrest is just too dumb, and I was never crazy about Tom Hanks

57/100
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

The only ones I haven't seen are Intolerance and Sunrise: A Song about Two People.
I just watched Shane again Saturday night and Best Years of Our Lives, Thursday night.

The list is fine - but it's the same American films you see in list after list everywhere. The filmic equivalent of a Rolling Stone albums list. I've said it so many times here, but you guys are infinitely more accepting of the classic film canon than you are of the classic rock one.

I agree with you, Matt. Some of those I wouldn't rate as classics. Good, maybe, but not classics.

while there are a number of classic the list is a little weak. Have to admit I've seen most of them a few times.
Only four I'm not sure I've seen (although I've seen clips of all four)
1. The General
2. Intolerence
3. Sunrise
4. Swingtime

Whereas I always say the opposite. You guys are far more accepting of less mainstream cinema than you are of less mainstream music.
