fanatic amongst my friends, I feel as though I haven&#8217;t seen nearly enough of the classics to warrant such a reputation.\u00a0 My pile of shame (famous films that I&#8217;ve never seen) includes <em>The Godfather Trilogy, Apocalypse Now, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, Easy Rider, Singing In The Rain, Schindler&#8217;s List, It&#8217;s A Wonderful Life<\/em>&#8230;I could go on.\u00a0 I think I once worked out that I have seen less than a third of IMDB Top 250 films of all time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Anyway, periodically, I get motivated to create pet projects for myself to try and remedy these things.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Recently, I realized that I haven&#8217;t seen a single Marilyn Munroe film before.\u00a0 She is an iconic screen actress and has been in some bona fide classics.\u00a0 She&#8217;s also been in some pretty rubbishy stuff too.\u00a0 Anyway, a month ago I picked up a Marilyn Munroe boxset on the cheap and I&#8217;ll be plugging away through some of her most famous films (<em>The Seven Year Itch, Some Like It Hot, How To Marry A Millionaire<\/em>) and some of the filler that also came in the boxset (<em>River Of No Return, Niagara<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Regardless of the quality of the films I&#8217;m about to review, I can definitely recommend the Forever Marilyn boxset if you&#8217;re even remotely interested in her body of work.\u00a0 The picture quality in these films is fantastic and they&#8217;re all stacked with extra features which do a good job providing some additional context and background information to the more interesting films.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefatwebsite.com\/?attachment_id=12658\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12658\"><img
