Can't decide on a particular movie to rent? Several Web sites carry a list called "1,001 movies to see before you die," compiled by editor Steven Jay Schneider.

Blockbuster's site has the most user-friendly breakdown of the list, with titles organized in groups of years: http://www.blockbuster.com/browse/collections/1001MoviesYouMustSee [1]

This weekend, I took Schneider's advice and saw the 1974 film "The Wicker Man." I'm not quite sure why Schneider feels we all need to see this movie before we die, but I hope I don't die the way the main character does.
