Just watched 2 more films on this list – Seven Samurai and City of God. And meh, wasn’t blown away by either. Still hoping there’s going to be something better to come. There are 4 more films in the next 10 I haven’t seen.

| 28 | Forrest Gump (1994) | Y |
| 29 | The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) | Y |
| 30 | It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) | Y |
So I have Rear Window, Once Upon a Time in the West, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Psycho to watch. I’ve seen bits of Psycho and Raiders of the Lost Ark but never watched either one all the way through – in fact I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen any of the Indie movies all the way through so I’m going to include them on this list.
Addendum: Just realised that stupid Live Writer deleted Part II of this list where I watched The Godfather: Part II and The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Although I wasn’t blow away by either film I’d have to say that both are slow burners and well worth watching. Both are also quite layered with complexity and throw up some interesting dilemmas for the characters especially The Good, The Bad and the Ugly where two characters which hate each other both hold half of a secret they need for riches.
