Confession: I haven’t seen a lot of movies that are considered to be “classics”. Whenever one of these movies is referenced, I have to somehow skirt that fact that I don’t know what’s going on. To remedy this, I’m going to rent each of these movies one at a time until I’ve seen them all. This list was originially compiled by my co-workers, and I’ve added some movies myself that others have recommended to me at some point.
Here’s the list, in no particular order.
