As of a few weeks ago, it’s 18 months until I turn 40(?!). Given my love for movies, I’ve decided to do a 40 movie challenge, watching 40 films before I turn 40 years old (young?). The films are diverse. They are classics that I never got around to, films I was too young to watch but wanted to at the time of their release, movies I have been scared to watch, or movies that are blind spots in my cinema knowledge. Here are the films:
Pump Up the Volume
Clockwork Orange
Schindler’s List
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Bridge on the River Kwai
The Iron Giant
Marty
Ben Hur
Mr. Smith goes to Washington
Idiocracy
The Last Emperor
Harlan County U.S.A.
The Last Waltz
Oliver!
JFK
The Beales of Grey Gardens
White Men Can’t Jump
The Truman Show
Mean Girls
Lawrence of Arabia
First Blood
Casablanca
Newsies
