As with the book list, the movie list is made up of movies I watch repeatedly, and like the book list, there are titles not on the list that nonetheless made an impact on me at the time, though don't resonate with me now for one reason or another, but have a powerful memory attached to them. The Outsiders, for example, the first movie that split me open, and Titanic, which I saw five times in the theater but when I see it now seems a little silly - I wonder why it was so compelling when I was 25?
