"I`m a movie fan, but...I`ve Never seen..."
 
Classic Films...Great films...Underated Films.

Wherever they fall, they`ve been rated and recommended and maybe fallen into more than a dozen Top 100 of all-time lists and no doubt, a few Top 10`s here , but for some reason you have not got round to watching them, and maybe never will.

So,

"I`m a movie fan, but I`ve never seen..." :blush:

"Schindlers List"
"The Godfather"
"Casablanca"
"Gone With the Wind"
"Goodfellas"
"Dr.Strangeglove"
"Seven Samurai"
"Dances With Wolves"
"Raging Bull"
"A Clockwork Orange"
"The Wild Bunch"
"Chinatown" .

That`s my Dirty Dozen...what`s yours? :)

The Silver Bullet 09-21-02 05:39 AM

I was using Citizen Kane as a pure example; what with it being rated the number one film of all time again and again and again and again.

James2183 09-21-02 05:50 AM

ahhhhH!!1 so what is your favourite film of all time then?

The Silver Bullet 09-21-02 06:05 AM

I believe Lawrence of Arabia is the best film ever made. It's in my top three favorites with Pulp Fiction and Apocalypse Now. Amelie is fourth and I don't have a fifth that can stand among those four.

James2183 09-21-02 06:18 AM

pulp fiction is one of the greats, its my birthday today and i got the pulp fiction and jackie brown special edition dvd's quality. what story is your fav?

Herod 09-21-02 01:24 PM

"Seven Samurai"
"Dances With Wolves"
"Raging Bull"
"Get Carter"
"All about Eve"
"Amelie" (I don't plan on seeing it, either)
"Battleship Potemkin"
"Sophie's Choice"

Where you correcting me? Or were you just adding another to your list? I meant Ikiru. I haven't really wanted to see Akira.

BTW, have you seen Citizen Kane or not? Because if you have, why did you put it on your list of haven't seen?

James2183 09-22-02 03:49 AM

read the earlier post he said he hadnt :)

The Silver Bullet 09-22-02 05:07 AM

I haven't seen Akira and I haven't seen Citizen Kane and why Herod, do you not want to see the wonderful, wonderful, uber wonderful [and Holden will back me up], Amelie?!

James2183 09-22-02 08:06 AM

Amelie rules! thanks to that film i was introduced to the wonderful film delicatessen!

It seems that every time I go to rent a movie(unless it's on a Tuesday) I often get panic stricken because I've seen everything already, or I've seen everything I want to.

So then I peruse a list I keep in my head of the movies I should see according to AFI, Entertainment Weekly or a well-meaning friend. Ultimately, and I don't know why, but I end up getting something I've already seen or nothing at all.

Here's a part of that list:

"Rosemary's Baby"
"Life is Beautiful"
"Citizen Kane"
"Singin' in the Rain"
"Airport"
"2001: A SpaceOdessey"
"Apollo 13"
"Goldfinger"
"Happiness"
"Cinema Paradiso"

note: some of these are on AMC frequently, but even then I can't c-c-c-commit.

I did read it, I couldn't tell exactly what he meant. I rented it a couple of years ago, and I do understand that because of the way he filmed it, and the lighting, and etc. why it is heralded as a classic. Truthfully, I found it boring. Generation gap? I don't know.

What are you talking about?
