OK,here's the deal,I really need to watch these films!It's like searching for Satyricon in books and you can't find it,same goes for the Louisiana Story...

I'll manage to get by all of them by the end of 2010...any links to any rare films on that list will be appreciated!

    You've got some good ones on your list. I wouldn't be in too big a rush to see Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, but Ichi the Killer, Double Indemnity and Sunset Boulevard are all real treats. I'm sure you're going to love them.

    That's lots of films you're dying to watch! I can only tell you that "Short Cuts" and "Basquiat" are good but not great! And rush seeing "Velvet Goldmine" and "Maurice" already! You've been dying to watch these 160 films. I'd probably die watching 150 of those! Good luck!
