But I'm thinking about creating an Access database (or, more likely, a spreadsheet) of every movie I've seen.I rarely rate my movies. At least compared to you. I probably rate 30% of the movies I watch on Netflix, and I would never go out of my way to rate a movie I didn't see on Netflix.I just checked, and I don't have a rating for Braveheart.

SBriand 4 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 EDIT: I missed Pulp Fiction on Steve's list. However by finding this out, I realized Steve did not have a full 50. PLEASE UPDATE TO 50 STEVE?Well I recounted and it looks like I have 48 but I was counting each Star Wars, DieHard, and Indiana Jones separately because I did not include all of them.I will have to rework it at some point.

frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Favorite WWII MoviesHere are some of my favs:Pearl Harbour - Horrible, just horribleIf you haven't seen it, I recommend Sorrow & the Pity. Yeah, it's a six hour documentary--it was filmed in Vichy France in the 1950s. It's got lots of collaborators and the fall out of their choices. Really really fantastic.2001: A Space OdysseyRequiem for a DreamI thought it was strong and visceral, but I didn't find myself wanting to rewatch it. Must have been the pegging scene.
