The 30 Movies in 30 Minutes

The Thirty Movies in Thirty Minutes Quiz

Got this from Facebook.

Think you have to be of a certain age for this to work...( at least over 30 I am sure)

The idea is to make a list of the thirty movies that have had the biggest impact on your life in about 30 minutes.

This turns out to be harder than it sounds and also easier...the hard part is after you have posted the list you start thinking of all sorts of other movies and wish you had listed them instead of something else.

Here is my list:

1. Citizen Kane

2. The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie

3.Modern Times

4.Loves of a Blonde

5. Jules and Jim

6.That Obscure Object of Desire(Bunuel)

7. The Immigrant (Chaplin)

8. The World of Apu ( S. Ray)

9.The Maltese Falcon

10. Casablanca

11.The Big Sleep

12. The Wizard of Oz

13. Brief Encounter

14. The Belles of St. Trinian's

15. Goldiggers of 1933

16. Forty Second Street

17. The Best Years of Our Lives

18.Rashamon

19. Throne of Blood

20.Ikiru

21. Battleship Potemkin

22. Ivan the Terrible

23. The Fireman's Ball

24. The Great Dictator

25. The Magnificent Seven

26. Slumdog Millionaire (this is recent of course-- just me)

27. La Chienne

28. The Milky Way (Bunuel)

29. Shoot the Piano Player
