Positively brilliant! A number of those films I have seen (particularly the more well known) but very early stuff is where I was lacking, and I see that there is a lot to take in. The one big thing that jumped out at me is that while Ive seen most of the films mentioned in one section (the gangster films for example--of which I'm of the persuasion Once Upon a Time in America is a masterpiece, I havent seen nearly any of the films in another (a lot of the noir). Great recomendations, it looks like I have a lot on my list right now. Just wondering what you guys would call the most influential or expansive cult-classics. Personally, I'm a huge Rocky Horror fan, and love Donnie Darko and Back to the Future (can we call it a cult classic yet, please!)...but I have little knowledge of the "genre"
