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)

aw, no kh marathon? ):

I'm not much of a movie person, but I second the Donnie Darko recommendation. Try to avoid the Director's Cut; the pages of 'The Philosophy of Time Travel' randomly inserted between scenes are really annoying. Plus it's more fun to read the pages at the Web site.

-Also Air Force One.
-The Godfather is a given but I've never been able to sit through that movie, personally.
-The original Halloween is good for a laugh

Yeah, I sadly don't think I'll be able to do the KH marathon after all. :( HOWEVER, I still wanna do the Disney-movies-in-BBS marathon! That I'm totally down for.

Air Force One I saw ages ago; Halloween I have not!
