Most film blogs understandably post many lists or “listicles,” whether in a conventional topic (top 100 movies, biggest flops, etc.) or in a way to highlight neglected or off-beat topics in-depth (as you’ll definitely see from us). To kick things off here at Film Hard 2, however, all three writers are going to break the ice with a different kind of list: One of the classic and highly popular movies we haven’t seen and thus painfully have to feign knowing well in conversation. It’s a humbling but necessary practice.
I’ll commence by airing my negligence for all to see. Brace yourselves!
