Honestly I'm most surprised that there is no "Breaking the Waves" on the list. And also at the very low number of foreign titles. I'm looking forward to the individual lists.

No one has mentioned The Color of Money, which has been the only Scorsese movie that I thought was pretty average (though it has some pretty cool shots of Tom Cruise playing pool).

I just realized when reading the Meek's Cutoff blurb, that The Walking Dead would be amazing if it was written and directed by Kelly Reichardt.

Is anyone thinking about the people on the show and the fact that they need only one more year of school to graduate?

I disagree because I love movies. I only watch TV shows that are like long movies. Until heavily serialized commercial-less TV started, most movies were much more satisfying than almost all TV shows.

Up All Night is now a part of NBC Thursday nights. WOOHOO

I actually live in Seattle too, though not in the "African Muslim section of town," which I presume is south Seattle. I live in north Seattle which is I guess can be known as the "regular middle class white people section of town."

For me, I go through life balancing American culture and my Muslim religion. I've personally found that balance without much difficulty, but there are many people I…

As a Muslim I am now very interested to see what sort of commentary this show is making on Islam in America. I do hope the show is playing around with mainstream Islamic stereotypes and that he doesn't end up being a terrorist and ends up being just a normal Muslim convert. But at the same time, if he did convert to…

But I will never forget the moment in the 2nd season (I think?) scored by "DLZ" by TV on the Radio.

The final song choice really cements that spaghetti western influence. It was "Black" by Danger Mouse & Danielle Luppi off their ROME album which they made as a soundtrack to a non-existent spaghetti western movie.
