1. Mosquito Coast
I got that at home right now. Think I may have seen it when I was younger but not good enough to recall all that well.

It's funny how every time a new list goes up I see a movie that I'm like "shite! How could I have left that one off?" And then I go to look at my list to see if there's something to cut and just can't find a spot. 
I'm enjoying the lists in this thread more than any of the MWADS threads so far.

oh shite. Directed by Peter Weir, based off a Theroux novel, adapted by Paul Schrader, and starring Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and River Phoenix? Glad you mentioned this. Never heard of it but it has an amazing cast/crew.

Well now I really can't wait to watch it. I love watching movies with mixed opinions in both directions.

I been all up on Peter Weir's nutz since I saw Picnic At Hanging Rock (one of the better old movies I saw in 2011) and The Last Wave. He does a helluva post-colonial movie.
Posted on 1/23/12 at 6:02 pm to Leauxgan
I still haven't seen Last Wave yet I got it and Fearless as my next two of his in my queue. But I like all the others of his I've seen Panic, Witness, Truman Show & Master and Commander.

Just got done watching it. I like the way Weir was able to take a beautiful outdoor setting and slowly over the course of the film along with Ford's deteriorating mental condition turn it into a nightmarish landscape.

Is it sad that I can't cut for my own list? Down to 35.
Ugh. It's impossible. I going to pull the dictatorship and just count all of my films.

The easy solution to this problem is just to create an alter and post a list of the other 20 movies. Username could be Freauxzone Layer. I'll delete this post if I say that name floating around here.
Posted on 1/23/12 at 9:25 pm to Freauxzen
The solution is simple. Keep whichever movies may also be on my list cut the ones that aren't.
Posted on 1/23/12 at 9:26 pm to iwyLSUiwy
So much easier for me to pull rank, haha.
But good idea.

Do you know how hard it was for me to narrow it down to 20?
You do NOW!

Some guy "gave" his wife's picks earlier. I joked afterwards by saying I might get a friend to give me his.
