Movies with Numbers in the Title

Someone at work was telling me she and her boyfriend were waiting for a table at a restaurant and started compiling a list of movies with numbers in the title. Dave and I tried last night and got a pretty good list going.

Ordinals (first, second, last) do not count. Sequels do not count.

How many can you think of?

Best Movies to Impact Our Generation

I'm a Gen Xer. My friend Greybarr and I were talking about the must see movies of our generation and I was looking for a place to compile a list for a few days before I remembered I had a blog. Duh. Alrighty then.

Must see movies are not necessarily the best movies. Some things that make a movie must-see are the content and some things are the parody and quotes from it. For instance, some old must-see movies include: Soylent Green, Psycho, West Side Story, and Citizen Kane.

The parameters are still under construction, but here is part of the list:

Idiocracy - 2007
Holy Grail - 1975
Usual Suspects - 1995
Pulp Fiction - 1994
