> Er? Is there a particular reason why you didn't see Dances, or have circumstances just not put it on your "must-see" list.

Neither. I fully intend to watch it someday, perhaps even soon.

The thing about must-see movies, is that there are hundreds of them. No self-respecting film enthusiast or amateur critic can possibly consider himself educated about film without seeing, for example:

There. There's 111, after minimal thinking. I'm sure I missed another hundred, equally as deserving of "must-see" status. The list is probably skewed toward movies I've seen, but I'm still missing 30 of those.

I'm catching up, though. The Godfather II and Patton are recent acquisitions, and The Deer Hunter is around the corner.
