Yeah, Clyde was a master. Chongo's never really liked Orangutans much, though. It's a sad case of species prejudice.

I looked through the list. I've seen about 2/3 of those movies. A fair number of them are sort of in general categories that I normally don't bother with, which is probably why I never saw them. I may have missed some good ones because of that. For instance, I always assumed that "Dirty Dancing" was a film I would have absolutely no interest in, so I've never seen even a preview of it.

As for "Goodfellas"...I have seen it, but I detested it. Not that the acting wasn't good. It was. And the script was good. Definitely a well made movie. However, I just don't need a vision of that kind of moronic deadend depravity floating around in my head. Yuck. I was sorry I'd seen it after I did.

Miller's Crossing, on the other hand, I really liked. The extreme violence was there, same as in Goodfellas, but the mood was different. Goodfellas depressed me. Miller's Crossing entertained me.
