Letter C

I probably mentioned in the past how I am watching movies that I've never seen by alphabet. I am relying on multiple lists to generate my list of movies to see --- list of Roger Ebert's favorite movies, Oscar winners, IMDB top movies, AFI's top 100/top 400/top 10 in different categories and so on.  I finally finished watching all of the movies that start with "C".  There are still some movies that I haven't seen in this category because they weren't available from Netflix or I added them after I finished the letter. 


What I loved:
Chariots of Fire
Chop Shop (movie broke my heart)
City Lights (I had seen bits before)
The Conversation
Cool Hand Luke


What I really liked:
Cabin in the Sky
Camille
Casablanca (I had seen bits before)
Citizen Kane
Coming Home
Crimes and Misdemeanors


What I hated:
A Clockwork Orange


Others:
Cabinet of Dr. Caligari - I barely remember this movie
Cabiria - I thought I should get a prize for watching this entire movie. 
Caine Mutiny - Weak
Carmen Jones - I love Harry Belafonte
Carrie - I really didn't think this movie was that scary
Cat Ballou - I still have that damn song in my head
Cat People - this movie cracked me up
Changeling - it was so/so
El Cid
Cimarron
Cleopatra -- wow...also deserve a prize for watching this movie
Cries and Whispers
Crumb
Cry in the Dark - the joke about the dingo in Meryl Streep's voice ruined the most dramatic part of the movie


So, what had I already seen (people kept asking me this)
Caddyshack
Capturing the Friedmans
Casino
Chicago
Children of a Lesser God
Children of Men
Chinatown
A Christmas Story
Cinderalla
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Color Purple
Crash
Curious Case of Benjamin Button


Movies that appeared on the most lists:
A Clockwork Orange
City Lights
Citizen Kane
Chinatown
Casablanca


Now I am working on the letter, E.  Yes, I am going every other letter.

When you get to the "D" section look up Dr. Strangelove.
