Sorry it’s been so long since an update, but since there were so few movies in the queue, when those specific ones weren’t available, I had to just wait… and wait… and wait. So here goes:
Some Like it Hot – I saw this one a couple weeks ago but didn’t mention it here. I liked this movie. It was clever, witty, had a decent plot, and good acting. I generally don’t like movies about guys who dress up like women, but this one was an exception. The acting (Except for Monroe’s) was great. This movie also had a great ending and, in my opinion, one of the best closing lines of any movie. A great comedy that I highly recommend.
The Silence of the Lambs – another of those movies from my time that I’ve just never seen nor really had a desire to see. It was a good movie, and not at all like what I was expecting. The plot was good, albeit not very believable. Also, I think Anthony Hopkins is one of the best actors out there. I’m sure you’ve already seen it, so I won’t bother recommending it.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy – Good movies with interesting stories, just not to my taste. I liked the first one, and it kept me going. I was genuinely interested in the story and the characters. When it ended, I wanted to know what happened. The second one, I found very boring. There was a lot of fighting and action, but it seemed (at least to me) to be just there to keep the audience entertained and into the story and not suffer the normal lull associated with the second act. The first night I sat down to see this I fell asleep about 3 times in the first 45 minutes. Two nights later, I tried to see it again. By the halfway point I was knocked out. It’s probably just be and my dislike of the genre, but I couldn’t figure out what was going on and I didn’t care. I also don’t like movies filled with CGI crap – special effects are nice when they add to the movie but not when they are the movie. I’ll have to confess, I didn’t make through the 2nd and I didn’t watch the 3rd. I figure if I can’t make it to the end of the 2nd, there’s no way I’ll be able to follow the 3rd. Again, I am certain to be in the minority here, and I don’t mean to offend anyone who likes this series, it’s just not for me.
And there you have it – 61 movies in 14 weeks, I don’t know if I should be proud or ashamed. To recap, I have now seen all movies on the IMDB top 95 (at least as they were ranked 14 weeks ago). There were only a handful I didn’t like and 3 I didn’t finish (I’m putting the LOTR in the unfinished category because it really is more like one movie broken up into 3, but if you are a literalist, 2 unfinished and 1 not watched).
I have some additional thought I’ll post soon.

My Sister fell asleep during the first one. I was on the edge of my seat for all three.
Different strokes for different folks.

The problem with The Two Towers is the Frodo and Sam storyline, which is boring as shit. Helm's Deep is a pretty good battle scene, but you have to go through a lot to get to it. In the books the two storylines are broken up instead of interspersed, so it's even worse.
Return of the King, though. I guess if you couldn't stand the first two then I could see how you may not appreciate it, but I'd say any film that won 11 Oscars is at least worth a shot.
Anon,
Titanic won 11 Oscars too.
I'm a bit biased because I am a HUGE LOTR fan--but of the books, mind, not the movies. The first is good, even the second book is not my fave, but the third is great. So, I would say just watch the third movie so that you can really say you watched them all. [I say that a movie that can't at least keep you conscious had its shot. you watched it.]

Oh, and BTW, congratulations on completing such a difficult journey and reaching what seemed like an at times impossible and ill-conceived goal... watching all those movies!

Damn, dude. That's pretty impressive.
