By way of confession, here are movies I should have seen but didn’t:

48 Hrs
Against All Odds
Annie Hall
Back to the Future
Beaches
The Bodyguard
Braveheart
Children of a Lesser God
Dances with Wolves
Desperately Seeking Susan
Eraser
Ghost
Junior
Love Story
Predator
Purple Rain
The Outsiders
Rocky
The Running Man
Saturday Night Fever
A Star is Born (Streisand)
Tender Mercies
Tequila Sunrise
Terminator 2
Total Recall

I did, however, see The Blues Brothers and The Shining a dozen times each during the summer of 1980. And I can tell you who photographed the various Bergman movies. That ought to count for something.

I will discuss in a future installment some more recent movies I should have seen but haven’t.
