Inspired by Robbo's recent movie bleg which revealed the names of several movies I would like to add to my Netflix queue, I thought I would start one of those Internet meme/game thingies to get yet more ideas for my already-lengthy list and maybe inspire some of y'all to try some of these.

Here's what you do:

1. Go to your Netflix (or Blockbuster online) queue.
2. List ALL of the movies in the queue (at the very least, try to list at least the first ten).
3. Italicize (or bold) the ones you've seen before.
3a. (OPTIONAL) include snarky commentary or thumbnail reviews where desired.
4. Tag 3 people.

This is what's currently in my queue:

• Whales: An Unforgettable Journey: IMAX (1997)


• The Pink Panther
(Why remake this classic? Why?)

• Rope


• Alice


• Notorious


• Primer
(This will require multiple viewings to figure out. It was filmed here in the Richardson/Plano areas north of Dallas).

• Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
(Khaaaaan!!!)

• MST3K: The Crawling Hand


• Metropolis


• Run Lola Run


• Woman in the Moon


• The Americanization of Emily


• Hombre


• Cool Hand Luke


• The Adventures of Robin Hood
(the non-Costner, non-Bryan-effin'-Adams everything I do version)

• The Mark of Zorro (1940)


• Kelly's Heroes
(one of my favorites as a kid)

• The Outlaw Josey Wales
(I never much liked John Wayne westerns. Eastwood, on the other hand...)

• The Good, the Bad and the Ugly


• Two Mules for Sister Sara
(check out who played the nun)

• Being There
("There will be growth in the spring!" -- be sure to check out the super groovy Eumir Deodato version of Also Sprach Zarathustra)

• Madagascar


• Colossus: The Forbin Project


• Vanilla Sky


• Fight Club


• Destination Moon


• First Men in the Moon


• Mystic River


• Ocean's Twelve

• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind


• Love Actually


• Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow


• Existenz


• The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai


• Frankenstein / Bride of Frankenstein


• Forbidden Planet

(I loved this movie when I last saw it more than 10 years ago. Curious about how much I'll like it now).

• The Magic Christian


• Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon


• La Vallee
(for the Pink Floyd soundtrack)

I'm tagging Rob, The Country Pundit, and Professor Hall.
