Cool lists. I want to do this one, but I'm off to a screening of small town gaybar. Maybe I can add it to a list.
P.S. Tell my dogs I love them!
Both The Van and Run Lola Run are well worth it. (That's not a diss of the other movies; I havent' seen them.)
1 movie I should feel ashamed that I have seen (and loved): Spiceworld. It's actually very very funny. Your tolerance for Spice Girls songs will affect your reaction, of course.
oh please, not only have i seen spiceworld, i saw it in the theatre AND i own it on video. i make no apolgies of my love for the spicegirls. right music at the right time.
Good lists. While I wouldn't say you should be ashamed to have not seen the first five movies, I can say that every single one of them will give you a sense of deja vu one you do seem them because they've been parodied and "homaged" so much that they have lost their original impact.
Luckily, I've only seen one of your five that you're ashamed to have seen (Batman and Robin *shudder*).
All of your next favorites are great. I need to see Mallrats again.
I've seen (and enjoyed) all of the foreign movies you listed except for The Van and I've not seen any of the five movies that "I may not have seen", but I'll keep an eye out.
