    Another movie meme...

    which means I only have to use my brain to remember if I've seen these, rather than be creative and write my own post.

    Snagged from E.McPan, who snagged it elsewhere. Apparently, these are the "new classic" movies from the last 25 years or so says Entertainment Weekly anyway.

    Movies I've seen in bold. I didn't include movies I've only seen clips or scenes of -- but I did include movies that I'm pretty sure I saw all of (but wouldn't swear to it).
