Although I'll note that Goodfellas wasn't something I sought out. It just happened to be on the TV machine one day.</p> Yeah, I’ve no excuse for not seeing The Godfather.

Considering that we are of a similar age and relatively similar backgrounds (yeah, I think Ontario is very different from Kansas, but my wife claims they are freakishly similar). Most of the ones you've seen are movies I <em>want</em> to see, but I'd say over half of them I haven't. Out of the ones you haven't seen, I've seen easily a third of them, and probably closer to half.</p> <p>How do you see Goodfellas but not Godfather I & II? Not see One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but see Chinatown? I could go on. It's not so much criminal as just an amazing set of coincidences.</p> What blows me away is how little overlap there is between movies on that list that you’ve seen and I’ve seen.
