And 60s: https://www.listchallenges.com/100-popular-movies-from-the-1960s-adam-did-not

The format of this series came a bit unstuck with the 1960s since I can see very few films there I can imagine myself watching. Many films from the 1960s I actively want to see aren't in the top 100 that I haven't rated on RYM, which is what these are based on. But maybe there's something here I'm overlooking.

Robocop is the most egregious oversight of those 80s movies, but To Live And Die In LA is probably the actual best movie in that list

I'm actually pretty meh on most of that 70s list, though I don't mind Vanishing Point and Two-Lane Blacktop

60s... Andrei Rublev, Le Samourai, Pierrot Le Fou, the Bond films

I keep meaning to pick up Robocop in an Arrow Video haul, but always manage to overlook it. 

Le Samourai is one of the movies I most want to see, but it is not available in the UK. 

I started on the older Bond's the other day with Diamonds Are Forever and am actively keeping an eye out for them now.

Here's the 1950s version, a bit more on here I already want to see than the 1960s one: https://www.listchallenges.com/100-popular-movies-from-the-1950s-adam-did-not

Only movie I've seen there (as a kid) is Singin' in the Rain.

5. From what I'm aware of your taste I'd say Rosemary's Baby is the biggest omission from my 5. Maybe Dr. No.

7 for the 70s. How have you not seen A Clockwork Orange? Shocked

10 on the 80s. I did not see The Evil Dead on there so I presume you have seen that. Evil Dead II in that case shouldn't be missed. Most would agree it's the rare follow-up that's better than the original movie.

Started a new list series:


Interested in which you think I should watch. Just note I took the first 100 from RYM regardless of what they were and there are definitely movies I would never watch in these. Plan to post one a day going back to at least the 1940s.


12 for the 2000s and 18 for the 2010s.

9. M. Hulot's Holiday is brilliant. You'll see where Rowan Atkinson got his inspiration for Mr Bean.

^ Not even heard of that before!


There's a few on here which are among those I'm really interested in, but as always, some I wouldn't touch with a barge pole. There are a couple I do have lined up on some service or another currently, but haven't as yet watched.

My Crime list has also had it's latest 40 new movies update: https://www.listchallenges.com/560-crime-movies-adam-has-seen

As always this also includes thrillers closely tied to crime plots but for whatever reason the RYM genre police insist aren't worthy of being called crime movies.

My December list is up: https://www.listchallenges.com/what-adams-been-watching-december-2020

Compilations and my end of year summary lists to follow, including my possibly controversial 'worse movies seen in 2020' list. 

But for now, we start with my TV show summary: https://www.listchallenges.com/every-tv-show-adam-watched-in-2020

1 on the 1940s list. 

205 on the crime list.

All 2020 movies I've seen as of 2020's end: https://www.listchallenges.com/every-movie-from-2020-adam-has-seen-as-of

2020 sucked in every way possible, movies included. I'm delaying most of my end of 2020 summary lists a few days because LC is always flooded with list makers but short on list users at the start of the year. But this list is small and not anywhere near as good as expected, so I posted it already. 

2020 offered a few movie gems in spite of everything. Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods was really good, Enola Holmes were pretty entertaining, as was the Red Dwarf TV movie. David Fincher's Mank, while not his best work, was a welcome return by the filmmaker, six years after Gone Girl. Netflix's Offering to the Storm capped off a very good trilogy.

^ 4 in common. I also enjoyed Da 5 Bloods. Only other stuff I've seen there are the Red Dwarf and Kimmy Schmidt (I don't get the whole interactive thing though, just make a video game already) specials and the Altered Carbon anime, which is about the only anime I've watched not counting Pokemon: The First Movie when I was 12. LOL
