Solid compilation of movies to see with only a few clunkers in the bunch--some of the more contemporary choices are a bit strained (Young Guns is not a classic western). But on the whole, well chosen and a nice intro for film novices and even for more flick savvy folks like myself there were a few surprises--films that I may have been only vaguely aware of are now on my watch for list (Dead of Night, The Iron Horse, Run of the Arrow).

A lot of this reads like fiftieth anniversary DVD booklet blurbage, but I like the central idea that rather than the story of a present-day man in the dystopian future, Alphaville actually shows Lemmy Constantine, a man from the recent past, coming to the present day and being horrified. Implicit there is that after the war we all just threw up our hands and swallowed the kool-aid because we felt so tired and sad. I like it.

Some of the recommended movies I would much rather I not waste my time on, but in the context of popular culture (movies that get referenced in pop culture, that is), these were some of the best.
