Summer Film List

After putting together a sizable summer reading list for myself, I thought I might try expanding my film horizons as well. The following is a list of films (in no particular order) that, given their descriptions on Netflix, Wikipedia, etc., I thought sounded good. If you've seen one or more of them and would like to leave a comment, feel free to do so below. If there's a film that you haven't seen but want to, and if you're in the KC area, stop by the house this summer and we'll watch it together.

PS--There is a running theme with this list; all but one of these ten films has something in common. Can you guess what it is?
