Filling Holes

[jamesq]

Before I return to writing my Estrella/Vegas travelogue, I thought I'd mention something that came up in conversation: Cult Films that people should have seen, but haven't. Here's a few that will be coming up at movie nights here in Pepperland in the weeks and months to follow:

• The Big Lebowski
  
• Dark City
  
• Strange Days
  
• The Goonies
  
• Real Genius
  
• The Sting
  
• The Fifth Element
  
• Holes

Obviously, these aren't all cult films. Some are just films that should be on any serious movie aficionado's list (The Sting, for example, won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1973).

Anyway, am I missing some obvious ones? I'm looking for the films that make you say "How can you not have seen that?" when you hear that a friend has not seen that.

So next weekend we're going to watch "The Big Lebowski" here at Pepperland. We might also watch "Zombieland", which is too new to determine it's "must see" status, but it's cool regardless. Exact time to be determined.
