Yes, friends, governments in capitalist society are but committees of the rich to manage the affairs

So you rate Cannibal Holocaust an 8.0 ... and you think I have rocks in my head?

I appreciate your opinion ... really I do 

It is very close but I would choose Moonraker too, my 2nd favorite Bond film. The OP has some great non-standard choices. I especially love 1967, my 2nd fave Godzilla film.
