	CHINATOWN I saw because I saw a lot of movies in the 1980s 
and early 1990s and one of them was the TWO JAKES. That felt to me
like the inferior sequel to a good film, so I tracked down the 
original movies to see if I was right.

	THE GODFATHER I've never seen because I have an irrational
prejudice against most mob films.
