So a random dude made a list of the top movies of the last 30 years. Of course I don’t agree with a good chunk of the list, but it does have most of the geek movies on it, so that’s cool.

So folks, based on this and the last list I made ( http://www.deanwelsh.com/?p=615 ). what should I prioritize for rental? I might have seen some of the foreign stuff already and just marked it as unseen, cause this guy used the real foreign language names instead of the english titles and i’m too lazy to look up translations right now.
