A guide by John Thorp

Products sampled from this guide:
This list looks at films in many different generas: film noir, classics, action, sci-fi, and just plain old good. I didn't put them in any particular order, just what came to mind first. You might notice that I have left out often listed things such as the Godfather trilogy and either of the Lord of the Rings. I chose to omit the Godfather becasue every other list mentions them and I didn't think they were that impressive any way (maybe b/c there was too much hype.) And I skipped LOTR movies becasue they aren't very good any way (I'm sure all those nuts out there will hunt me down and murder me for that one...and I bet you're all talking abuot the cinematography for those too...but did you notice most of the impressive shots are cumputerized?) Any way...this is my lis so take it for what it's worth.
