Blazing Saddles is a parody of Westerns (and a damn funny one at that!), I do not consider it a true Western. If you do, they yes, I have seen a "Western".

I understand where you're coming form on that, but I'm going to have to insist that Star Wars: A New Hope is in fact not a real Western—it is a Space Fantasy (definitely not Science Fiction.)

Tommy is a hard movie to defend, but I have an unreasoning love for it. (Admittedly, the Broadway version was better sung, more coherent and in every way more palatable.) Still, I have a feeling NA will find something to dig in it, if she gets around to it. For my money, any movie that features Ann Margret writhing in sensual ecstasy in a pile of baked beans, chocolate and soap suds is worth seeing.

For goodness sake, people. I have 'Citizen Kane' on DVD. I'll loan it to you through snail mail if ya like. One must see it but must keep in mind that for its time it was a groundbreaking film. Yes, it's slow in places but it's a fine fine film.

With all due respect to anyone that hasn't seen them, I just wanted to point out that the Godfather 1 and 2 are really outstanding films, IMHO. Definitely worth checking out.

I haven't seen about 20 movies on this list. What surprises me is that they're all movies that I've had so many opportunities to watch, but have passed over in favor of schlock. Dr. Zhivago? Haven't seen it. But I have seen The Island of Dr. Moreau. Multiple times. To add to Flippy's post - I've got most of the AFI list on DVD, too... so if you're in my neck 'o the woods...

There are 53 on that list that I haven't seen. I actually did better than I thought I would, actually.
