Oh, there are tons of films which are highly spoken of by people which I still haven't seen yet. I slowly try to fill in gaps as people mention <such and such>. Fast Times at Ridgemont High, etc...
So, at times I'm in that same boat. Quite often, it's simply I am reminded of one, but then totally forget about it (being distract by squirrels, shiny objects, etc.).

And, that's yet another thing I love about doing these polls - many times people haven't seen (and in some cases - like the 'Mill Creek' specials) haven't even heard of before. Occasionally that spurs them to check out something they've been missing all these years.

Though I was apprehensive about how 'glastnost' (sp?) would affect the Bond franchise, I like how this film played it - especially the ending scene on the cliff. Gen. (or whatever rank) Gogol is one of my favorite supporting characters during that era of the franchise.

Saw the City doing some work in front of the house - and my first thought was:
"Wow! What a great place to hide the bodies...!!!"
I think the ladder makes it complete - totally reminds me of the opening grave-robbing scene from Frankenstein (1931)
