Movies everybody saw, but you

[Mark CMG]

Titanic

Fight Club

Trainspotting

Kill Bill 1&2

The Incredibles

Fantastic Four

Batman Begins

Wedding Crashers

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Any of the Friday the 13th, Halloween, or Nightmare on Elm Street movies (except for the ifrst Halloween movie)

Any of the Rush Hour movies. (Chris Tucker gets on my nerves, too)

Revenge of the Sith

Blaire Witch Project

And those are just the ones already mention in this thread. I'll have to think about how many more there are.

I saw it recently and must say, meh.

Sorry, have to disagree with the meh. I think the film still holds up and I will pinky wrestle anyone who thinks different.

I wont' say 'meh'. I dunno, I want to finish Blade Runner before I make the judgement. I just haven't gotten thru it.

It seems to me that alot of film's appeal is from the visual imagery which in 1982 was very novel and impressive. Now's it's been overimitated, and frankly, improved upon.

Of course, the film should be appeciated for being so innovative. But the fact that it's been copied so much unfortunately waters down the impact of watching it for the first time now, IMO.

I haven't seen Titanic either. Or Castaway, for that matter.

 

[Aus_Snow]

Titanic, Blair Witch Project, Romeo & Juliet, Chicago, Batman Begins, Spiderman (is there a '2' as well? - well, that too then), Hellboy, Fantastic Four, also all the Friday 13th / Halloween / Nightmare on Elm St. (as previously posted), Independence Day, The Incredibles, . . .


OK, I've mainly been going from what was already posted, and I think the list would be too long if I kept going, so I won't. It seems I'm not a huge fan of Hollywood, generally. Gee. I am not surprised.

 

[Psychic Warrior]

Dances with Wolves
American Beauty
Meet the Parents (and it's sequels)
There's Something About Mary
The Wedding Singer (in fact put every Adam Sandler movie in here too - least funny guy in Hollywood)
Grease
Pretty Woman
The Passion of the Christ

Holy crap! I've seen 87 of them. I guess I've made some Hollywood producer douchebags very happy over the years. I'm part of the problem !

The ones I haven't seen, with their positions on the Top 100 and my reasons for not seeing them:

35. Meet the Fockers (These Ben Stiller movies are starting to really aggravate me. When he goes back to being "Ben Stiller Show" funny, I'll catch up with him.)
48. Pretty Woman (And people think LotR is a fantasy.)
57. Mrs. Doubtfire (For a supposed comedian, why is he a million times better in dramatic roles? One Hour Photo and Insomnia deserve to be on this list.)
61. Die Another Day (Bored with Bond. This one looked pretty phoned-in, like they were making it because of contractual obligations or something.)
63. Madagascar (In all fairness, this just came out. Still, looked like more faux-Pixar crap. But I might catch it on cable.)
68. The Bodyguard (And I ain't ever gonna see it. If Whitney Houston were in Star Wars, I wouldn't see it.)
71. Gone With The Wind (Don't give a damn.)
72. Grease (Hate the music. Given that the story isn't exactly Citizen Kane, I doubt I'll be watching this ever.)
80. Mr. And Mrs. Smith (This is the only one on here that I actually want to see, just not badly enough to buy a $10 ticket. I'm gonna Netflix it when it comes out though.)
81. What Women Want (What they want is to see turdy movies, judging from this list.)
85. My Big Fat Greek Wedding (Case in point.)
86. Hitch (Ditto.)
87. Notting Hill (Notice a trend here?)
