It worked for me, but I edited it with a new link. Try it now.

I saw "All Quiet On The Western Front" in History Class years ago.

Everything else, never seen.

The list of movies I haven't seen but should is long and potentially embarassing,so I won't list 'em.

Yeah, that works now, but there is such a shocking amount I haven't seen that I am embarrassed to list them on here. So I am not going to.

I've never seen Platoon.

I had never even heard of the film Sunrise until today. Interesting thing is, an Honorable mention for the same year [1928] was The Crowd, which I have seen and LOVED. Unfortunately, I have never been able to locate a copy of the movie. I always thought the story would make a good dramatic musical.

I've seen everything from 1960 on. Before that I'm more hit and miss.

Interestingly enough, "How Green Was My Valley" is one of my all-time favorite movies.

But I'll admit, I haven't seen a lot of those other early winners.

Wow, look at the list for the turbulent 1960's:

West Side Story
My Fair Lady
The Sound of Music
Oliver

[Mister Matt]

And immediately after Oliver was Midnight Cowboy. From one extreme to the other. 1969 (the year I was born) must have been quite an interesting year.

Don't ever change that.
