Ohh...one of these days I'll see Taxi Driver.
What's Nashville about?

Movies you've been meaning to see for ages?
So many. However, the one that's at an "I can't believe you've not see that" level is To Kill A Mockingbird.
Just to bash 2001, because I rarely miss an opportunity, I've tried to watch that seven times and only managed it twice. The last being just a couple of weeks ago and, rather than gaining an appreciation of it, I found new things to annoy me.
Paths Of Glory is my favourite Kubrick and that isn't saying much. It is, however, miles better than anything else of his that I've seen.
Oh, and La Haine is really good. Get it seen, Henry.

Thanks Matt, I just requested Nashville from Netflix. I wish my library had it as I already have a lot of films in my queue at Netflix.

I'd like to watch Ishtar but it's not available via netflix, youtube, or the public library.
I also wouldn't mind rewatching Pure Luck but it's not available either.
You guys have no excuse for some of these movies you haven't seen

What a treat I finally get to see this movie that is renowned for how bad it is
Then again I recently watched "Dumb and Dumber to" and "Catwoman" and I enjoyed both. Neither were as bad as i'd been lead to believe.

I watched Pure Luck today on Comcast On Demand, if you have that.
Was it your first time watching? I haven't seen that movie since I was a young teenager

Out 1, noli me tangere.
It's long and everytime I plan on devoting a good chunk of a long weekend to it something happens. Last time there was a storm that knocked out my power for 12 hours. I can't remember what happened the time before that, but something happened. It's like it's cursed. I wonder what will happen next time. I do plan on watching it before the end of year, though. Enough is enough, I just need 4ish hours a day for three consecutive days and I'm good to go.

Yes, Destiny nominated it for the Comedy Hall of Fame. It was better than I expected.
Funny how long it took to be available on DVD. not until a few years ago, strange considering it's famous cast.

I think my "Can't believe you've never seen that!" movies are Lawrence of Arabia and On the Waterfront...now that I think about it, I haven't seen To Kill a Mockingbird either. So glad to learn that I'm not the only who was less than impressed with 2001.

One of these days I really must get around to watching Life Of Pi. It's been sitting on my shelf for a couple of years.
Good to see a few others who share my dislike of 2001. If I were to make up a list of the films which I find virtually unwatchable it would not only include 2001, but also pretty much every film that Kubrick made. Why he is considered by so many as one of the great film makers, I have to say is beyond me. Apart from being a very good cure for insomnia, I find nothing of value in anything of his that I have seen.

I've wanted to see "La Grande Illusion" after seeing it was a favorite of Orson Welles and Pauline Kael... I watched it early one morning, about 5am, I'm sure I wasn't in the best mood.. I remembered the lighting was horrible, making some of the subtitles to see difficult - should have been in yellow (as some others were during that time)... I think I might have given it a 5/10 when I saw it.
