BlueCrystalTear 09/16/22 10:12:54 AM #8:	Question for you guys: Should I watch Dawn of the Dead before Shaun of the Dead? AFAIK the latter is a supplemental parody of the former, constantly making fun of it in ways that are more understood and appreciated if you've seen Dawn. While I know Shaun can stand on its own as well, is it better to have seen the movie it's spoofing beforehand? junk_funk posted... Ive seen over 90% of the movies on this list. Theres some great ones for sure, but I feel you should start with something R rated based on the story you told. With that in mind you cant go wrong with Pulp Fiction. After thinking it over, Pulp Fiction is a fantastic starting point. It's one of the earliest films on the list (Fiddler on the Roof being the earliest, but after that it's just Never Say Never Again and the three 80s Rat Pack classics before Pulp), it's the debut film of an iconic director I have three other films by, the film is legendary (and one I've seen many clips and quotes from over the years, but never that much in one timeframe), and it's rated R like my mom would often put the kibosh on. I think this is what I'll go with as an opener, both because it was the first to get two votes and because it's bound to be influenced or referenced in many a film thereafter. SATURDAY NIGHT: I get Medieval on yo asses! FarmFox posted... Clerks 2 (2006) May I (politely) ask where you got this from? It is not on THE LIST, which is that Google docs link - might want to check it out to see what else I have. This does include Eternal Sunshine, so your vote for that has been recorded :) --- [This post adds nothing to the discussion but for whatever reason I felt the need to say it anyway.] <cite>BlueCrystalTear posted [p:968074918] in ~ BCT's Ep...
