    You need to see City of God, Shawshank , and Mulholland Drive right now!

    Mulholland Drive may go on my Netflix queue just for whats-her-name?

    Shawshank I feel like I’ve seen this since TBS shows it after every episode of Law and Order.

    City of God?

    Weird. I thought you’ve seen All About Eve. Defintely see “City of God”(Great f’n film), “The Apartment”(Shirley Mclane is cute as all hell in that. The film has a wonderful ending.), “Mullholland Drive”(I think this is a funny movie about actresses of Hollywood. Either way it’s got Naomi making out with another chick. It’s a fun little film) and “Fanny and Alexander”(But then again this title alone will fatten your Netflix que)

    Tokyo Story should be on that list. Here’s my 50.
