    Holy shit Quentin! I am not gonna lie. I am JEALOUS you have seen all these films!! I was able to keep up from 2009-1975 but once you got older I could only pick out 25-35% of each year. I recognized titles as significant but I haven't seen the films. It looks like I need to seriously re-examine my netflix cue. wow. Just fucking wow.
