I don't know why I continue to torture myself with these lists. They are filled with movies I've either never heard of or, if I have heard of them, never seen. I can't stop myself, though. I've seen the ones in bold print. The Big Lebowski, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Taxi Driver are in my to-be-watched stack.
