I saw Jezebel, nothing special.
I have a soft spot for Bette Davis and saw too many of her movies.
I tried to find a few movies from this list via Netflix but to no avail. How do you even get to see them?
The primary reason to put films on this list is to preserve them so that they are available to others. Now that they're listed they might show up on dvd in the next couple of years. Killer of Sheep is one of those for me, it's now 9th on my queue.
I've seen the Muppet Movie. And if Thriller is the video, that too. And that's it.
Yes, Thriller is the Michael Jackson music video. Dog Day Afternoon is well worth seeing.
