Nevermind what to watch first.
Buy portable dvd players and one that is waterproof.
Put them everywhere...the car, the shower, in front of the toilet....

Theme nights. You gotta have theme nights. Get your Bond out of the way. Doctor No , Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice are a great triple feature. Next, work on the Hammer Box. Kiss and Brides go well together, Nightmare is kinda crappy. Then work on your noirs. I believe in you. You can do this. My girlfriend and I once watched the fifty horror classics over a long weekend and still got stuff done. Pace yourself and don't be a hero. There will be days you're doing nothing. You're an artist taking a year off from college. It will not be hard to find movie time. Trust me on this.

Thanks for the suggestions / encouragement guys! :D

Wanna hear some really great news? I realized that I was sitting beside a pile of DVDs that I had yet to enter into my DVD Aficionado account, so they missed out on the originally posted list! So here's a small little addition:

205. River’s Edge
206. Gods and Monsters
207. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1982)
208. The Quiet Earth
209. The Wild One
210. The Conformist
211. Inland Empire
212. Happy Accidents
213. 5 Days to Midnight
214. The Hustler
215. Sunset Boulevard

You ever have one of those nights you can't sleep and it's about to storm (cool winds blowing, strong misty scents in the air)

Watch The Quiet Earth:)

You need to drop what you're doing right now and watch Apocalypse Now. Whatever expectations you may have about the film will be shaken and you will experience an escapism you have never felt before while watching a movie. It isn't a war movie, despite what Blockbuster tags it as. It stands alone as one of the most ferociously original pieces of filmmaking of any generation.

Also, slide All About Eve, Lawrence of Arabia, White Heat, The Philadelphia Story, Rain Man, and Near Dark to the top of your list.
