      I did not really care for Its A Wonderful Life".

      7 Samurai was on my foreign list. Great pick.

The crime thriller might not make it.
        I'm trying to make a well rounded list. May not have a tear jerker though.

          Right now I have 37 movies on my list. I assume that some will be picked, but I'm going to have some tough decisions to make!

            If everyone has movies left after 10 rounds I'm sure we can extend it.
            If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

              I'm all for that.

                completely agree. I first saw it when I was about 10 ... I had weird dreams for a very long time after that.
                It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                    Sorry. Didn't know I was up and I was hosting my dad and step mom today. Did bbq chicken breasts and legs with some corn on the cob on the grill.

                    I am also interested in going 12-15 rounds of there is a consensus to do so.

                          So far, I think there are only 2 movies that are available for viewing for free in English on YT: Rebecca and A Christmas Carol. So if you havent seen them, you can do so there.

                                Seventh Seal was under consideration for my next pick.
