Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
Fair warning: Grave of the Fireflies is one of the saddest movies ever made. I don't watch it until I'm in a mood to handle it. Even so, it's another movie on your list that's one of my favorites.
I wouldn't do a Kurosawa marathon any more than I would do a steak dinner marathon. His movies take a while to digest.

Which version of The Fly? 1958 or 1986?
Which "Indiana Jones?" Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, Last Crusade, or Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
terrycloth - you're watching Raiders of the Lost Ark because you didn't know it's the first film of the franchise.
Plus it's a good one...
All the King's Men (1949), while a fairly good character study, was a rather typical political thriller/potboiler. It all felt rather predictable - maybe it wasn't when released but I doubt it. Broderick turned in a good performance with his character meeting a expected end. Since it won "Best Picture" for that year I looked up the competition: Battleground, The Heiress, A Letter to Three Wives, and Twelve O'Clock High. Of those, I've only seen Twelve O'Clock High but feel it's a better film than All the King's Men.
1. Moulin Rouge (1952)
2. Barry Lyndon (1975)
3. Torn Curtain (1966)
4. Kiss Them for Me (1957)
5. Skyfall (2012)
6. OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006)
7. Avanti! (1972)
8. Ninotchka (1939)
9. Prizzi's Honor (1985)
10. Gold Diggers of 1937 (1936)
Films watched:
Question for The Man with the Golden Doujinshi: Do these need to be never-before-seen films or just something from the "unwatched (unopened)" piles? So far I've stuck with the never-before-seen films but the ones in the unopened piles I've seen before outnumber those I've *never* seen by almost 10 to 1.

On the other hand, I can give a pass to things someone has seen before but has no memories of and watching it isn't going to make them remember it all before they finished. I have the Zatoichi box set and while I know I've seen a few of those films, I couldn't anything that happens in any of them, nor can I name any title other than the first one.

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
It's a Deadly Harvest for you, Mister Peepers. Mainly because it's the only one in your list I've heard of and am too lazy to use a randomizer to pick another. 
Skyfall was a pretty good Bond film. Horrible theme song, but then there are so few truly "good" ones on Bond films anyway, but otherwise I enjoyed the viewing. A couple of times I felt like it was going on just a bit too long because just *how* many times can the villain escape in a single film? Honestly, I really didn't care for the villain but the action sequences were very good and that's a lot of why you watch a Bond film in the first place. The motorcycle race across the rooftops was *far* more believable, and exciting, than the Tumbler version in Batman Begins (a large part of my dislike for that film). I don't know how I feel about what happened with "M" in this one but it felt organic enough I'm not too bothered.

I bailed on The Man with the Golden Arm after an hour.
The moral of the story seems to be that if you hang around with the same people when you get out of jail, you'll get hooked on drugs again. I don't want to sit through every bad decision.

I was most impressed that at two hours it never felt like it was dragging and had quite a bit of humor...seriously a nazi monkey? and a lot more violent then i was expecting! figured they would of cgi'ed the guns out by now!

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
terrycloth, you should watch Star Wars episode 6 in preparation for the new movie.
BobO'Link happened to pick the one title I owned but didn't know where it was at the time
, but I did find A Night at the Opera and enjoyed it. As far as Depression-era comedy goes, I prefer the dancing and Great American Songbook of the Astaire-Rogers musicals, but I liked the humor, especially from the Groucho character (this was my first full Marx Bros. feature). When Astaire took a break from Rogers in a Damsel in Distress, it mixed his usual song-dance with comedy routines from Burns and Allen, which Groucho's repartee reminded me a bit of.
My revised list:
Hello Dolly (1969)
Babes in Arms (1939)
Neptune's Daughter (1949)
Cover Girl (1944)
Funny Girl (1968)
3 Godfathers (1948)
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)
Nine (2009)
You Were Never Lovelier (1942)

Re: The Neverending Watch The Movies You Should Have Already Seen Challenge
I'm almost considering putting Boyhood on my list but that movie sounds like something that would drive me insane with boredom. I thought Waking Life was horribly overrated and reminded me of the ideas someone that took sociology 101 in community college would have if they made a film. Some of the things in it are provably wrong, especially some of the rules of dreaming. I barely liked Before Sunrise and Before Sunset more than Waking Life.
I think I've answered my own question about adding it.

I've just checking in on everyone's progress since I haven't quite worked up the gumption to watch Grave of the Fireflies. I have a three-day weekend coming up and hope to get to it during that time. The film's reputation as the ultimate tearjerker as well as a sudden crush of graduation festivities has kept me away so far.
