the list is quite interesting - and interesting to see which ones I've seen. So, I've seen 69 of these - and clearly I like Sci Fi and Mystery best. But those fantasy movies don't seem quite right. Why is Field of Dreams fantasy? And where are the Clint Eastwood classic spaghetti westerns? or Once UPon a Time in the West?
