Have you seen it?

A friend of mine sent me this List of 102 Movies You Should See To Be Considered "Movie Literate". -It's not written by Roger Ebert, it's just on his site. So how do I stack up? I'm half-litterate I guess. Becoming less so all the time. I included the ones I've seen on the BIG screen. I'm holding my Cine Capri list for a later date. I didn't include "The Ones I Own" because there aren't nearly as many, and I'd feel obligated to list "The Ones I've Never Even HEARD of!" Also not that many.

Everyone notice what picture is at the top of the article? I mean, honestly, who remembers that scene?

Annie freaking Hall.
