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)

I've seen Pleasantville and Cats Don't Dance, although the rest I've either only seen parts of it not at all. I should probably at least see Singing in the Rain, Surf's Up and District 9. :O

Singing in the Rain is just hilarious and a great example of classic Hollywood. Surf's Up is surprisingly funny and clever and District 9 is just awesome.

I have Surf's Up on my computer if you want me to upload it somewhere! I have the bootleg of D9, too, but the language of the credits is Russian I think.
