26 Movies I Must See in 2006

[dannywalker17]

This is a place to post the movies you want to remind yourself to see this year. We've already got most anticpated threads for 2006, so don't include any new movies. This is for older movies (2004 and before) that you always wanted to/thought you should see but never did. I'm not including any of last years movies either because obviously I'm still catching up on DVD.

Tell me what you think and post your own.

In alphabetical order:

The Abyss
American History X
Avalon
Before Sunrise
The Birds
Blue Velvet
Brazil
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
A Clockwork Orange
East of Eden
Empire of the Sun
The Graduate
Legend
The Manchurian Candidate (1962)
Miller's Crossing
Mulholland Drive
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Pulp Fiction
Rashomon
Rosemary's Baby
Schindler's List
Taxi Driver
The Third Man
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Unforgiven
Wonder Boys

Yeah those are some that I want to see because of the talent behind them more so than because of their reputation.

Gone With the Wind
Citizen Kane
The Third Man
Casablanca
A Streetcar Named Desire
Hannah and her Sisters


Actually, I say 2006 is the year where I've seen every Woody Allen film. I call him one of my favorite directors, yet, I have seen but half his films.
