Helmut, don't feel bad about not having access to a TV for long stretches of time... chances are you didn't miss much if Argentine television mirrored American television. I personally sit down and actually watch TV maybe less than two dozen times a year, usually only for shows like Game of Thrones... and the last time I watched and completely focused on a movie was probably over a month ago. Unfortunately this makes compiling lists that could rival Buttler's simply impossible. 'The man is a machine.

A ton of great ones there, in particular Young Frankenstein. Mel Brooks is a National treasure. Check this out.
I saw that. Mel is still sharp, even at almost 90. If you get the chance, listen to his interview on the Nerdist podcast from about a year ago. Fantastic stuff!

Buttler: did you really watch all of those movies? Are or you just copying and pasting a list from somewhere?

I've loved some films hugely but could never watch them again, such as Pulp Fiction and the French film about Edith Piaf which I LOVED but can't remember the name of. I'm very shallow.
On the other hand, some films I can watch over and over, such as Blades of Glory, Zoolander, Bowfinger, Car Wash.
I think I just have a low threshold for angst, I love it the first time round but once is enough. However a good laugh is always repeatable.

Round Eight182 - Freaks (B/W) (1932, Tod Browning) "Freaks" is soooo disturbing. It is considered a "pre-code" film, so they could push the envelope a bit more, and man did they ever! The final scene with Cleopatra being turned into a chicken woman, is still one of the most unsettling things I've ever seen (and I've seen Britney Spears try to act!)

Shaft Helped expand my little world. Can you dig it? Not particularly. It's a shame you didn't expand your (former) little world by visiting places like Detroit, Los Angeles or Baltimore. The beautiful people there would have treated you like royalty... similar to a returning hero, if you will.

It was terrible, but now it turned into a cult/classic movie
