I really need to stop doing things 'tomorrow, for sure'

54. M*A*S*H (1970) - Last time I made the confession that I'd not seen Jaws all the way through. Here's another, which I think most people know, actually; I hate MASH. Hate the film, hate the TV series, won't touch the book. I know people think it's great and blah blah whatever, it just causes me to glaze over. Two stars at best.

53. The Deer Hunter (1978) - Now here's a movie I love, even if it's about 90 hours long. It would never be released now, not at this length. The studio would probably force them to cut half of both first acts. Four stars, losing one simply on length.

52. Taxi Driver (1976) - Another classic. For the longest time I was in the crowd that thought the end of the movie was a delusion. I wish I hadn't heard that it definitely wasn't, it made the movie so much better. Still it's a five star watch it often type of flick.

51. West Side Story (1961) - One of my favourite musicals. I've always wanted to see the play live as it was written, but kinda fear it will ruin the movie for me. Right now I can watch West Side Story just about any time. It's been my 'watch-it-until-I-fall-asleep' movie more times than I can count. Five stars (I'm not gay)

50. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings (2001) - No. 0
