Bringing Up Baby- Very sharp film. I very much enjoy the razor tongued slapstick romances of the thirties and forties much more than the schlock they pass off as romcom nowadays. Music and Lyrics by... Anyone... anyone.... didn't think so.
Rebel Without a Cause-I went into this film with a feeling that it would be overacted and the story would bludgeon me in the face like that Kimbo guy. I was very pleasantly surprised to really enjoy this film that felt fresh and pertinent. James Dean, for all his rebellious iconography is the level headed center of this film.
Amadeus- I enjoyed this film, I always wonder when they take a past cultural icon and play him as a buffoon, is it all that fair, but then I think, they wouldn't have put it in the movie if it weren't true. Then I am content. Ahhhh.
The Gold Rush- From the first time I saw him, I have been a fan of Chaplin, having finished the last of the three films he has on the list I realize that I should not need a purpose to sit down and watch his stuff other than the need for a good time.

That's a good run of movies on the list. I liked how they showed Mozart as a moron, yet he was still undeniably brilliant. Kind of like myself. I'm on the verge of a slow and painful suicide too. Hooray for gloom and self pitty.
I swear we already watched Bringing up Baby a couple of years ago, and both did not like it. Now I'm going to have to go and re-watch it.
