Quick, recite every starting NFL quarterback and their college? No problem!
What about every World Series matchup in the 1990’s? That’s Easy!
Now tell me significant plot points of the Godfather or Goodfellas? Ahh huh?
Everybody has a list, revolutionary movies, books, tv shows, and music that they’ve never consumed before. In my life, I have often watched a non-consequential MAC football matchup (actually they all matter) or follow along with high school football results while skipping award winning media compiled to a list called, “I’ll get to it someday.”
Well, today is now. I’m starting off with 2 of my biggest weaknesses, especially, in the trivia landscape with MOVIES and MUSIC. Here’s where I need your help, before I pull a list of top movies and music, I want your perspective, what are the most impactful and greatest MOVIES or MUSIC ALBUMS you have consumed? I’ll pull some of your favorites to add to my list and then I will come back to this site to right about my experiences. Now keep in mind, I am not a completely blank slate (I’ve seen Shawshank Redemption, Star Wars, and the Departed), but there’s much for me to check out. Of course, keep in mind, with delayed viewing I know things before I’ve ever seen it, for example, when I saw Gone Girl I knew the wife disappeared on her own and even though I haven’t seen the Sixth Sense, I know Bruce Willis’ character is actually dead, but still there’s much for me to experience and learn through watching the entire movie and comparing it to other things I have seen.
So I ask… what do you recommend? Do you have a movie I should watch between football games or during the work week? Are there any albums I should listen to on my commute to and from work? Let’s build a plan!
