what\'s on your \"WOW\" list of movies?
 
let me explain what i mean. i have this list of movies that i have never seen, and if i tell people i have never seen them, they are generally shocked and just say "WOW".

what's on your list?

my list:

braveheart
office space
fight club
the sixth sense

i know i have more but can't think of them at the moment.. maybe some replies will jog my memory

On the slight chance they haven't been ruined yet, you should really see Fight Club and The 6th sense before someone spoils the endings.

WOW.

I've been meaning to watch figh club too, just never got to it.

Matrix - lost interest one time, never really cared to try again.

Memento - I'm sure alot of people havn't seen this, but I hear it's good

Raging Bull
Scarface


Fortunately, I finally crossed 1994's "Wolf" starring Jack Nicholson of the list this morning. I would say it was similar to Teen Wolf in that the main character slowly learnd that he is changing into a wolf, has new found abilities, has to keep it a secret, etc, the only difference being they replaced all the goofy 80's teenage antics with an unbelievable love story between the hot Michelle Pfeifer and the old and decrepid Jack Nicholson. Setting Jack up with women way to hot for him seems to be a recurring theme in his movies.

Never seen any of the Lord of the Rings movies, that usually gets a response from people.

I've never seen that movie about the guys who think they are great because they haven't seen some movies that everyone else likes a lot. I think it is the sequel to the one about the guy who doesn't own a TV and likes to tell people.

Just out of curiousity do you take some sort of pride in rolling against the grain with this, have just gotten annoyed with people telling you how much you need to see these movies, just not gotten around to watching them, don't think you'd enjoy them, or what?

11-20-2005 05:00 PM

Re: what\'s on your \"WOW\" list of movies?

Re: what\'s on your \"WOW\" list of movies?
 
Never seen Braveheart or any Lord of the Rings either

All 3 Godfathers
Schindler's List
Terminator 2 (or any Terminator for that matter)
Most Diseny Movies including Liong King & Aladdin
Jaws
Deliverance
The Excorcist
Snatch

Re: what\'s on your \"WOW\" list of movies?
 
Well, I have too many to list. I don't like Sci-FI/Fantasy, so Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, etc... I never saw a Terminator movie. Those are just some off the top of my head.

Same here, and Scarface. I know Scarface is a big deal with the hip hop crowd, but is it really that good?

Re: what\'s on your \"WOW\" list of movies?
 
braveheart
scarface
All Lord of the Rings

I've been meaning to see braveheart and scarface for years. I still have no desire to see LOTR no matter how much people insist I have to. I'm just not into fantasy.

Ulysses 11-20-2005 05:13 PM

Re: what\'s on your \"WOW\" list of movies?
 
Going through these two lists will probably be helpful in figuring out your "WOW" list.

Biggest grossing movies

IMDB top movies list

I have seen almost all of the movies on these two lists (except for a number of the old foreign films). The only one I haven't seen that might qualify as a "wow" is the number one grossing film of all time, Titanic.

I wish there was some kind of inflation adjusted version of this list. It's not really fair to compare National Treasure to The Sound of music

Good point. National Treasure is another one I didn't see, but it clearly wasn't worth mentioning.

Re: what\'s on your \"WOW\" list of movies?
 
I've never seen Stars Wars ep's 5 or 6, and the last time I saw ep. 4 was probably 15 years ago, so I'll kinda add that to the list too, since I don't remember any of it.

I also have not seen any of the Harry Potter movies.

I have also not seen any of the old classics, Casablanca, Gone With The Wind, Citizen Kane, etc.

Momento is amongst the top too. You seriously have to go out and watch these movies during your lifetime.

Before, I looked at the list, Trainspotting and Being John Malcovich were the only movies that came to mind.

As for the list, I have never seen:
16: Harrty Potter 2001
26: Meet the Fockers
28: Harry Potter 2002
30: How the Grinch Stole Christmas 2000
35: Harrty Potter 2004
38: Raiders of the Lost Ark. That's a big one. I actually have the Indiana Jones box set, but haven't gotten around to watching it yet.
40. My Big Fat Greek Wedding

That's it for the top 60.

Looking at the other list, Lawrence of Arabia is the only one that jumps out at me. Again, I actually own it but haven't gotten around to watching it yet.

I used to love Braveheart, now I'm pretty meh about it. I don't think it has stood up that well.

I still love it. It's my 3rd favorite move (behind American Beauty and American History X). In fact, I like it today much more than I did when I watched it in the theatres, but I was practically a fetus then so that doesn't really count for much.

You are telling me you have seen #10, The Passion of the Christ?

I've never seen:
#3 Shrek 2
#7 Revenge of the Sith
#10 The Passion etc..
#11 Jurassic Park
#13 Finding Nemo
#14 Forrest Gump
#15 The Lion King
#20 Independence Day
#24 Home Alone

I could go on, there are a bunch of really awful movies on this list that I have no interest in seeing.

Dude are you implying that Fight Club isn't deserving? That movie is the sickest.
