I love the classics, but that movie is very boring.... You could have taken out an hour out, and not changed a thing.. I really didn't need to watch the camels walk ALL across the desert, we got the point, edit with a cut!

I could say the same thing about Lean's other movies like Dr. Zhivago, even The Bridge on River Kwai, but I liked the less grandiose "Brief Encounter" and "Ryan's Daughter"

It's A Wonderful Life

Never understood the cult following tho
Not awful..just mediocre ...

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

its very corny - once is fine. I know people who watch this every year.

reply

[–] AngularTurnip (3337) 7 years ago

I've seen none of "The Fast and the Furious" movies.

reply

[–] kittensandpuppies (164) 7 years ago

I'm surprised that I've seen all but the last F&F movies! Action movies aren't my thing but I can handle those.

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 7 years ago

Do you like cars? I like cars and movies about them. Fast and Furious, Rush, Need for Speed... also tv series like Knight Rider and Viper.

[–] kittensandpuppies (164) 7 years ago

I know what it's about but just have never been interested enough to watch it.
Every year I must watch Christmas Vacation!

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

its on youtube free to watch

reply

[–] kittensandpuppies (164) 7 years ago

I still probably won't.

Or did you mean Christmas Vacation? In that case, I have it on DVD. 😎

I finally saw the full movie last year. I can't say I get the appeal, there are better Christmas movies out there.

reply

[–] Daisy (3024) 7 years ago

Same here, I still haven't seen It's a Wonderful Life. I've seen scenes but that's about it.

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

I saw Dr Zhivago for the first time about two years ago - wonderful movie.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78051) 7 years ago

Amazing movie
Takes its time...a bit long...but worth it!

reply

[–] Daisy (3024) 7 years ago

I finally have this movie and plan on watching it soon. It is another one I still haven't seen yet. Glad to hear you say it is wonderful.

Metropolis (1927)

reply

[–] kittensandpuppies (164) 7 years ago

I only heard of 2 of those movies, action. The only one on your list I ever saw was Requiem for a Dream. I won't put spoilers out there but I'll just say I didn't like it at all.

reply

[–] AngularTurnip (3337) 7 years ago

Up
Brave
Cars
World War Z

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

you said famous - these are not famous with respect

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 7 years ago

I've seen all of them.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 7 years ago

Up was not that great. The villain was ridiculously old and the adventure was overly long. It has the most memorable montage scene in any animation film ever though!

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 7 years ago

Ok, I'll restart...

Requeiem of A Dream
Scarface
Star Wars Ep.II and III
Harry Potter 2-5 and 7
Citizen Kane
It's a Wonderful Life
Casablanca

I'm pretty sure they are famous (just not necessarily the ones I look forward to see).

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

I hate Star Wars so I agree with you on that
Harry Potter is for kids so forget that

Casablanca and Citizen Kane are two of my favorites. Welles performance in CK is a masterpiece
Its a Wonderful Life is corny but has a great message - once was enough

If you like Godfather you will like Scarface

I have never seen Requiem for Dream

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 7 years ago

I don't hate Star Wars in general, I just really let down by Ep.I so much I refused to see the Ep.II and III.

Harry Potters 1 and 6 watched just to spend time with some girls I had crush on at that time. I don't even understand the story of Harry Potter at all.

Fortunately I was already married when the 50 Shades of Grey craze begun. Phew.

I generally don't like high fantasy genre. Watched the LotR trilogy just so I can get with the conversation with my dad which was a big fan and kept talking about how great LotR is. Lol. Both of us have never watched any of The Hobbit movies though.

Game of Thrones though, is my number one tv series ever. I, too, don't know why.

The Godfather (all of them, even the third one) are my favorite movies of all time. I also like Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, The Departed, etc. But mainly The Godfather. Just somehow I haven't got the chance to see Scarface. Weird.

[–] Daisy (3024) 7 years ago

I haven't watched a single Harry Potter movie. Am I missing out?

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 7 years ago

If you were a teenage girl at the time of release of Harry Potter 1, then yes, you're missing a lot. If not, no, not at all.

reply

[–] Daisy (3024) 7 years ago

I was not. When it first came out, I thought it was just for kids so I didn't bother. Then I found mostly everyone has seen it. There were so many after the first one, I just didn't bother getting into it.

reply

[–] TexasJack (12516) 7 years ago

You are missing out. You’re also being lied to about not missing out.

reply

[–] Daisy (3024) 7 years ago

Yeah, I feel like I'm the only one who didn't see these movies. I also didn't see all of the LOTR movies either, just the first one. I haven't seen any of the Hunger Games either. I feel like these are all movies that almost everyone seems to have seen.

reply

[–] TexasJack (12516) 7 years ago

If you liked The Fellowship of the Ring, you will like Two Towers and Return of the King. The Hobbit movies are not as good, although I did enjoy them.

The first Hunger Games was good but I found the sequels to be very predictable.

reply

[–] Daisy (3024) 7 years ago

Thanks, I think I would have to rewatch the Fellowship of the Ring, as I haven't seen it since it was in theatre and that was so long ago now! I think I liked it alright, but wasn't overly excited over it. How many are there?
The Hunger Games is something I just never seem to get around to watching.

reply

[–] Frogarama (12942) 7 years ago

Skip Scarface. Requiem is iffy too

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 7 years ago

I want to see both. Someday.

reply

[–] kittensandpuppies (164) 7 years ago

Any of The Godfather movies.

reply

[–] TexasJack (12516) 7 years ago

1&2 are among the best films ever. 3 was a misfire.
