Movies to Watch (Whenever or However I Can)

I have a pretty expansive backlog of movies I need to watch during my lifetime. I guess the trouble with this is actually finding the time to do so and, of course when it comes to the older local films, procuring copies is the greatest challenge.

 Anyway, I keeping this list here so I don't forget what I have to or want to watch before I expire. Crossed-out items are the ones I've seen.
