Litmus Test Movies Or How To Know If Were Gonna Be Friends

Saw a great question come across twitter :

@kerrizor - Do you have films that are litmus tests for you?

Super fun! I went through my list to pick out a few... Ended up being more than a few.

So, here's my test. If you don't dig, say, 50% of these that you've seen, I wonder if we'd get along.

(Caveat : This list is based off when I saw the films. I haven't seen most of in years. Lots probably don't hold up and I'm sure some have become problematic.)
