MCF and 102 Movies

I've always wanted to see the future. Granted, in the 30 to 50 years I probably have left, there will be more advancements in medicine and technology. Perhaps something to increase the human lifespan further so I can see some flying cars or robots or any of the stuff classic science fiction (and Conan O'Brien) predicted for the year 2000. A friend of mine showed me a paper thin chip no bigger than a fingernail today, that held 512MB of data, mostly songs for his all-purpose cell phone. Technology is growing exponentially, so maybe I will see some really cool things in my lifetime. Ever since childhood, books, television, and movies have fueled my imagination and allowed me to see just about anything, both probable and improbable. Of course there are plenty of movies I haven't seen, and my quest to see them all continues at a rate of about four movies a week. When I saw Jim Emerson's 102 Essential Movies list cited over at Sean's, I knew it would be a good opportunity to gauge what I've seen, and what I still need to see. Feel free to treat this as a meme on your own blogs. As Sean did, I'll note the films I have seen from this list with an asterisk (*).
