I'm not an expert on film. I haven't been around long enough to know exactly which movies I should see, and I've missed a lot of great movies that came out before I was born. So, for a list of movies that really defines "awesome" I turn to another. Bob Chipman, aka MovieBob is an independent filmmaker and film reviewer for an online magazine called The Escapist. In August he wrote an article (two actually) listing the movies that every movie nerd should see. Unsurprisingly, I haven't seen most of them. However, I think that they can provide a nice baseline for any movie reviews from me that are to come. The following is just the list. To read the full article(s), and you really should,go to escapistmagazine.com and search for movie nerd bible, because I'm having a lot of trouble adding a link to this post.
