Warner Brothers just came out with a box set of the 100 films you must own. It’s a fantastic film collection, but I was trying to figure out if it was worth supplementing my collection. I instead decided to try to see what movies I have already seen. At least half on a collection like this should be considered art school, right? Not a waste of time? Aside from a woeful lack of study in the 1930s to 1960s, I’ve done well, right?
