Funny how many of your choices are violent movies. I hope your list will get more interesting if you more some older movies.

I just can't get into movies that were made before 1969. I feel that movies before then dragged on for way too long, and a lot of them usually didn't have sharp and witty dialogue like I started seeing in the 70s. 12 Angry Men was okay, but it felt fabricated and glossed to me, in real life I think there would be way more emotion between the jurors.
