**The DaNolfo Code**Luke told me to make a list of all the movies everyone should see before they die.
DISCLAIMER: It is my complete understanding that everyone has different tastes in movies. This list is composed entirely of movies that I have viewed, some of which are viewed annually or semi-annually. I also understand that my choices may be biased as I have a comedic mind that needs to be fed by, what may seem to be, some absurd films. They are not listed in any rank or order so there is no need to feel offended because one movie is mentioned before another. I am aware that some movies have alternate titles in Australia so if you have never heard of a movie, that may be why. Luke; if these choices do not appease you, go ahead and make your own list and next time do your own dirty work.Movies everyone should see before they die:1.) Spaceballs2.) Young Frankenstein3.)

I know later I'll remember a movie I should have put on it.*
*I forgot Napoleon Dynamite on purpose because I enjoy the character, but it needs a plot! I have seen it though, so I can quote it like the rest of the world.*
