Movie requests

Yes, two posts one right after the other, but I don't have much else to do right now so I'm posting anyway.

OKAY SO, in the month of August (so a couple of weeks from now) I think that I am going to hold off on any video games until BBS comes out, and instead focus on movies. For how much I want to, y'know, work in entertainment, I don't think that my movie literacy is up to snuff. So in the month of August, I will make it a point to watch one movie that I haven't seen yet every day of the month. 30 new movies should help me a bunch!

Flist, I want YOU to recommend me movies to watch! It can be anything you can think of, but since I am specifically looking to expand my movie literacy, I am looking for classics and/or landmarks in film. The sort of things people go "what, you haven't seen that?!" when you mention not having seen it.
- Black and white films are a-o-kay, even encouraged. Any time period is fine.
- Comedy, drama, action, don't care what it is, as long as it's good. I am not a fan of horror/slasher and would rather avoid horror recs (unless it's a classic/landmark film, like 'Alien.')
- No classically bad films, please! I get plenty of my bad-film dosage from MST3K! Would prefer good films for this.
- I love animated films the most, but just FYI, you will be VERY hard-pressed to find a Disney film that I haven't seen.
- If I've already seen it, I'll let you know!

EXTRA CREDIT: If you can link me to your movie rec on YouTube, Hulu, iTunes or any other place online, in return I will give you a free sketch request! (Something small and non-complicated, please.)

THANK YOU FLIST! And in return, I'll offer up a few movies that are pretty classic that other dudes may not have seen yet:

Wait Until Dark (Thriller/Suspense, 1967)
It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World (Comedy, 1963)

Hmmmm... I'm as picky of my movies as I am of music and stuff, so I don't know very many. XD ...but...

What about The Adventures of Baron Munchausen orrrrr Return to OZ? :Oa ...and, for the record, I actually didn't see OZ brought up above before mentioning it. XD;

Haven't heard of the first one, and most of Return to Oz I've just seen mentioned on Nostalgia Critic. XDa Maybe one of those...

First one is... odd. But then it was a Terry Gilliam film. 8D It's not on youtube anymore from what I can see, alas, but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0p9W47frhI trailer /o/

Return to OZ was by Disney, actually. :3 It got a lot of slack cause "it wasn't like the first one". Though it combines several OZ books together, it's actually in ways more like the book though than the old movie. Some of the characters really look like they fell out of the book illustrations. :D And it's on youtube! Although a lot of the ones have messed up audio. :( apparently http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zrRzlHW9to&feature=related has it fixed though. Too bad the quality is kinda meh. Widescreen is nice though. :O
