The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; GoodFellas; Silence of the Lambs; Scream; Dr. Strangelove...; Apocalypse Now; A Clockwork Orange; The Exorcist; The Green Mile; Platoon; Fargo; The Sixth Sense; Benji; Lassie. And its own category: The Many Adventures of WtP; Oliver & Co; Meet the Robinsons; Brother Bear; Dinosaur; Chicken Little; or Home on the Range. Some movies I could not watch and stopped after a short bit: Rocky, Napolean Dynamite, and The Pianist.
Originally Posted By Tinkeroon You have quite a list! I loved Rocky!! I haven't seen The Sixth Sense, A Clockwork Orange (and have no desire to), Scream, Fargo and a few others you mentioned. It's hard to recall those I HAVEN'T seen!! Out of Africa, The Killing Fields, All That Jazz, Annie Hall, Casablanca, or To Kill a Mockingbird...to name a few others. I would love to see the latter two, however. I'm sure there are MANY more notable movies I've missed seeing but I can't think of them now.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I have seen all those mentioned. Where I struggle are all the critically acclaimed ones since parenthood. Brokeback Mountain, Kings Speech, etc.
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin I haven't seen Annie Hall either. Brokeback Mountain and King's Speech in theaters.
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin And I looked at imdb's list of top 500 movies and if I thought it might be one people would surprised about, I included it. Out of my list, the one I want to see most is The Green Mile.

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I only saw Silence of the Lambs for the first time a few years ago. Thought it was terribly overrrated.

Some things you need to see when you're young, I think! But I'm glad I've now seen it so I no longer have people shrieking "you've never seen the Wizard of Oz?!" at me. A Clockwork Orange is a horrible movie. I had to watch it for a film subject at uni, and it's Dad's favourite movie, so I was looking forward to it. I emerged terribly concerned about Dad's state of mind. Okay, so far I've only talked about what I HAVE seen. From your list I haven't seen The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; Goodfellas; Dr. Strangelove...; Apocalypse Now; The Exorcist; The Green Mile; Platoon; Benji; Lassie. Loved both Brokeback Mountain and the King's Speech though - Dave, parenthood is making you miss out!
Originally Posted By Labuda I'll check the top 100 on IMDB and see what I haven't seen, BUT I'll say so far out of what's listed, the only one I'm certain I haven't seen is Brokeback Mountain. I just don't like cowboy movies, but I know it was a great love story and I'm a girl, so I'll go ahead and rent it soon. Maybe it's on Netflix Instant.
Originally Posted By Tinkeroon Haven't seen Brokeback Mountain either. Or The King's Speech. Or The Black Cauldron. They are all on my "To See" list. The Green Mile was very good.

Originally Posted By Labuda Seven Samurai See now, I know this is supposed to be one of the greatest movies of all time, but wow, I could NOT finish it. It was just soooo boring to me.
Originally Posted By wahooskipper I liked Gran Torino but I'm a pretty big Eastwood fan. I actually got caught up in the Disney movie 8 Below yesterday and was pleasantly surprised.
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan I loved Eight Below. I think I sobbed as much in that one as Old Yeller. Wow, petesdraggin, you have quite a list of the classics there! I've seen them all except Once Upon a Time in the West. I like westerns but not spaghetti westerns. Just don't care for them. Tried watching Once Upon a Time... but just didn't hold my attention. Make a point of watching It's a Wonderful Life around the holidays this year. I am sure you'll enjoy it.

Originally Posted By vbdad55 Dave - from that list I have seen the majority of them - my opinion on the best one there is Notorious - if we're talking about the Hitchcock one. I highly recommend it- Cary Grant didn't make many bad movies. That being said I am a huge 40's movie buff- to me the golden era - and contains many of my all time top 25 or so films. Casablanca Citizen Kane Double Indemnity Maltese Falcon Treasure of Sierra Madre It's a Wonderful Life The Big Sleep His Girl Friday ( maybe my all time fave) Arsenic & Old Lace Yankee Doodle Dandy Great Expectations Meet me in St Louis The Bank Dick Key Largo Miracle on 34th Street Pride of the Yankees Inspector General Going My Way The Wolfman and the last few installments of the Thin Man series which started mid 30's with a few very notable exceptions- I could have a library of 30's- 40's films and be very happy.

The video shop has parking outside of it. The library is a quarter of a mile min walk from the car parks that charge $4 an hour.
