Movies I Have Seen Before Dying (not that I'm dead)
Taken from the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list. Of the ones that are not rated, I will get to that later. Hopefully also before I die. (Unfinished, I stopped at 300 so that I can stop slacking and actually study for that test I have tomorrow).

Nanook of the North (1922, Unrated)
Cool insight, interesting camera shots. Not a truly riveting story, but it's definitely memorable. It's got that silent-movie kind of dreariness of course. And all the animal killing made my sheltered mind flinch nervously. |

Rebel Without a Cause (1955, PG-13)
You bet I watched this movie as a teenager. You bet I took it for granted. You bet I feel guilty about that. |
