Movies everybody saw, but you

Zaukrie's story reminds me of a movie buff I know. He has seen over 14 000 movies (that's 2 per day for almost 20 years). But he has not seen the Godfather trilogy yet.

Too many to list! But a few of the major ones include Top Gun, Pulp Fiction, all of the Harry Potter films, and the D&D movie (which is far from a major film, but given that this is a D&D site, I figure it was worth noting).

And I've never watched an episode of Seinfeld, but I suppose that's another thread.
 


This is what I am talking about. 'Titanic' is a movie seemingly everyone saw (it made an unholy Crapwagon of cash). Yet nobody I know in my 'inner' circle has seen the damn thing. Did that phenomenon actually occur, were drugs scattered on the ionosphere making us hallucinate we saw the movie? I never did nor wanted to.

I think Titanic had very broad appeal across a lot of different demographic groups (particulary those groups on the female side). It was very successful internationally.

I saw it, and thought it was average. But some people don't give a toss about LotR.

Well, Raiders of the Lost Ark is a defininte no-brainer as the one you've got to see. That said, it may be that you're already so familiiar with it due to cultural references and so forth that it may not be that fun to watch. I'd try it though :).

- Spider-man 2 (although I'm not really pining for this one after the first, which... 'meh')

SM2 is a (big) improvement over the first movie.

Really? Wow, I think Blade Runner has really stood up to the test of time, much like Alien.

I saw it recently and must say, meh.

Considering the cost of movie tickets even a few years ago, it doesn't take much to make that much money. It's easy, even for how much money Titanic made, for only half the country, if not less, to have seen it in the theater. In fact I uspect less than half the US did see it in the theater, considering numerous people saw it repeatedly.
