20 out of 100

[The Fake Shemp]

What the fuck - you've never seen Star Wars or Raiders of the Lost Ark?

[Phoenix Dark]

What the fuck - you've never seen Star Wars or Raiders of the Lost Ark?

Reading is fundemental William

All the movies bolded are ones that I've seen.

[Human Snorenado]

Cum Gargling Anal She Males 9.  I hear it's the best in the series, but the 8th entry left me feeling rather disinterested in future installments.

[The Fake Shemp]

Reading is fundemental William

...All the movies bolded are ones that I've seen.

I still don't know if that makes it any better!

[Cheebs]

wait you havent seen fantasia or snow white? HOW

[Phoenix Dark]

Reading is fundemental William

...All the movies bolded are ones that I've seen.

I still don't know if that makes it any better!

True. If you notice, most of the movies I've seen are pretty standard stuff. Everyone's see Star Wars, Rocky, Jaws, etc. There are some classics in there too, such as To Kill a Mockingbird and It's a Wonderful Life (my two favorite movies). My mom would always rent these old movies that she loved as a kid, and I'm suprised many of them aren't on the list. Imitation of Life is my third favorite movie of all time, and I figured it would be on that list. Oh well.

Basically you could name off 20 movies and it would be shocking if I had seen 5 of them. Especially more modern stuff.

[Phoenix Dark]

wait you havent seen fantasia or snow white? HOW

Whoops. I've seen Snow White, and some of Fantasia

[Himu]

That list is going to go with me when I order stuff from netflix. Thanks.

[Mupepe]

I think I've seen all but like 10 movies on that list PD posted.

[CajoleJuice]

I've barely seen more movies than PD off of that list. I've seen 23.

But that list is so damn skewed toward older movies. Bah, fuck that.

[Himu]

I dunno. I saw Singin' in the Rain for the first time about a month ago. Fucking loved it. Definitely top 10 material and a lot more fun than what I see at the movies these days. If movies were that fun I'd go to the theaters more often.

[Cheebs]

I've barely seen more movies than PD off of that list. I've seen 23.

But that list is so damn skewed toward older movies. Bah, fuck that.

How is it skewed? Most classic all time greats happen to be made pre-80's.

[FlameOfCallandor]

I have never seen The Godfather.

[The Fake Shemp]

I have never seen The Godfather.

Don't worry, I don't think you'll make anything nearly as good.

[CajoleJuice]

I've barely seen more movies than PD off of that list. I've seen 23.

But that list is so damn skewed toward older movies. Bah, fuck that.

How is it skewed? Most classic all time greats happen to be made pre-80's.

Fuck pre-80s. 

[The Fake Shemp]

The late 70s must've been an amazing time to go to the theatre if you are a fan of cinema.  Seriously.  Best time period ever.  I'm jealous.

100. YANKEE DOODLE DANDY (1942)


I'm kinda surprised that M isn't on the list.  Fritz Lang rocks and that movie was incredible.  I guess it's negative reputation hurts it a bit (Some lines from the movie were used by the Nazis to make people fear THE JEW).

[Phoenix Dark]

Amadeus is one of the best movies I've ever seen from the 80's. It feels like an older movie.

[Cheebs]

The best, not my favorite, movie of the 80's is Raiders of the Lost Ark. NOTHING comes close in terms of best.

[Vizzys]

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN STAR WARS!

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?

[Phoenix Dark]

The best, not my favorite, movie of the 80's is Raiders of the Lost Ark. NOTHING comes close in terms of best.

You're right. Amadeus kicks ass though

Viz: READING IS FUNDEMENTAL. I've seen Star Wars

[Mupepe]

Amadeus is fucking awesome.  Goddamn, I used to watch that movie over and over when I was little.

[Vizzys]

Ok good PD, I was about to stab you.

I'm like the ANTI-Phoenix Dark

[bork]

The Godfather movies.  I really, REALLY need to watch them.  Once Upon A Time In America, too.

Up until recently, also Fight Club.  Missed out on it in the theater, and never got around to watching it on DVD.  Saw the last part of the movie on TV a few years ago, but never saw the whole thing, so I finally went and bought the DVD.  Great movie.

[ToxicAdam]

I still have the Godfather boxset in plastic, unseen by my eyes.


Also, as far as that list, I can not watch B&W movies unless they have Bogart or Cagney in them. So there is alot of classic stuff I have missed. The only Hitchcock movie I have ever seen is The Birds (meh).

[Bloodwake]

This list makes me sad.

I need Netflix STAT.

So, is downloading Unforgiven in HD for 360 as a rental worth it?

[Solo]

I've seen pretty much every "classic" movie I felt the need to. At least 90% of that list Ive seen (and probably own half them). Some of you guys need to broaden your horizons! Sure, Robocop, Die Hard, and Terminator are great, but theres a whole world of OTHER great films out there.

Cheebs - get Vertigo, ASAP. My second favorite film of all-time.
PD - get on Casablanca, stat. I hate love/romance movies, but I love the shit outta Casablanca. Hell, get anything with Bogart.
White Man - no Lawrence of Arabia or River Kwai? Damn! Get on that, man. David Lean <3

Heres my top 10, if some of you are looking for stuff to check out. This changes pretty much weekly, but its genereally the same films that pop up.

10. Lawrence Of Arabia (Lean, 1962)
09. Oldboy (Park, 2003)
08. Ran (Kurosawa, 1985)
07. Casablanca (Curtiz, 1942)
06. Rear Window (Hitchcock, 1954)
05. Blade Runner (Scott, 1982)
04. Taxi Driver (Scorsese, 1976)
03. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick, 1968)
02. Vertigo (Hitchcock, 1958)
01. The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly (Leone, 1966)

Cajole I died a bit with your "fuck pre-80's" line.  :'(
The 40's, 60's, and 70's all destroy the 80's, 90's, and 00's.

I guess I should rent it because of the ones I seen on your list(all but Casablanca and Vertigo) I LOVE. Arabia, Blade Runner, 2001, and The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly are all top 10 worthy for me. And maybe Ran. It is amazing but I prefer Rashomon and Ikiru.

[CajoleJuice]

Solo, it's just my excuse for being so unacquainted with classic films. I blame my parents for never really subjecting me to any films at all. For example, I didn't even see Star Wars and Indiana Jones until I was basically in my teens, and those are made for younger kids.

I really need to put seeing Brazil high on my list of things to do. It's post-1980, too!

Ran is my favorite Kurosawa, but Throne of Blood is a close second (basically, Kurosaw + Shakespeare = gold), then Stray Dog.

I wasnt a big fan of The bad Sleep well.

You're like me in that sense. I love movies with good acting/preformances and I've always felt movies from the 60's usually have great acting all around. There aren't many, if any, actors today who are comparable to the likes of Bogart, James Stewart, Gregory Peck, Cagny, etc. They were leading men at a time when leading men were actually men, not pretty boys.

My three favorite movies (To Kill a Mockingbird, It's a Wonderful Life, Imitation of Life) all feature utterly amazing preformances from all the actors, and that's why I gravitate towards them so much.

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

In my case, I'm angry that I haven't yet watched ever Kurosawa film ever made. :'(

[Cheebs]

I don't know why but 50-60's acting always felt PERFECT. I can't explain it.


PD, have you seen any Kurosawa films? I got a hunch you'd LOVE his samurai stuff.

I'm going to burn copies of my Kurosawa films and mail them to PD. Oh, and send him a copy of Reservoir Dogs.

Willco: check out Double Indemnity. Essential noir.

That's the thing. There are no such thing as movie stars anymore  :'( I mean, there are popular actors that get paid lots of money, but none of them have the stature or iconic status of the James Stewarts, Carey Grants, Gregory Pecks, Humphrey Bogarts of that era. Its not even remotely the same. I always felt being a lover of film that I would born a good 20 years too late, and missed a lot of the golden era stuff that would have been so awesome to experience when it released. I mean, Vertigo still kicks my ass now, but Im sure it would have blown my mind in the 50's.

What would you call Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Harrison Ford and Jack Nicholson?

They're good, not iconic or great. Well Nicholson is, but he doesn't fit in your list. Or Ford really.

Leo...I haven't seen any of his movies, or if I did I can't remember them. Depp is cool. Ford...outside of Star Wars/Indiana Jones/Fugative I haven't seen many movies with him. Never saw Blade Runner.
