Consumption

Next 10 in Netflix queue (including the two I have). These aren't necessarily the 10 movies in the world that I am most desperate to see (not sure I would be able to determine which those would be), but just those which happened to fall in line when building my queue:
1. A History of Britain: Disc 1: I'm always interested in learning a little more about the heritage of "my people," and this series comes highly recommended.
2. Sudden Fear : Joan Crawford suspense-thriller. That's all Sharon & I need to know.
3. MST3K: Space Mutiny : Just a random MST3K. If there is anyone out there that laughs harder at this show, I've yet to meet them.
4. King Arthur's Britain: A little overboard on the British history here, but my interest in this is actually unrelated to the above title. A sudden re-interest in the Arthurian legend(s) was triggered a few weeks back while passing through Video Universe (pre-Netflix membership). A recent film version of the events was playing. It has since triggered some Wikipedia research, as well as a painful attempt to read La Morte d'Arthur. Subjects such as this, where there are so many conflicting theories as to what the truth is of actual events, often make me wish I was an academic historian. I find the debate almost as fascinating than the subject itself.
5. The Great Dictator: All these years I've never seen a movie by cultural icon Charlie Chaplin. This seems like as good a place as any to start.
6. The Third Man: Recommended by Pat. 1949, film noir. For some reason, I was assuming this was Hitchcock. Oh well, I'm still very excited to see it.
7. O Brother, Where Art Thou?: Highly recommended for years by, like, all my peers.
8. Love and Death: Woody Allen. I love Woody Allen and, according to the synopsis, this one was rumoured to be his favorite.
9. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead: This has been one that I've heard about for years & years & years and have never gotten around to seeing. Seems appropriate, what with my somewhat recent re-entry into the world of theatrical arts.
10. The Usual Suspects: Doesn't seem like the type of movie I'd normally seek out. But it kept popping up in front of me in my recommendations. I also saw that Netflix friend Aaron loved it.
