1. The Godfather (30 per cent)- Saw part of it. Thought it was stupid and turned it off

    2. Casablanca (13 per cent)- watched it on one rainy weekend day a few years ago

    3. Taxi Driver (11 per cent)- saw part of it. Boring.... switched the channel

    4. 2001: A Space Odyssey (9 per cent)- have fallen asleep every single time I've tried to watch it

    5. Reservoir Dogs (8 per cent)- haven't seen. Probably will never watch because I don't care for Tarantino films

    6. This Is Spinal Tap (7 per cent)- boring, switched the channel. Glad I never paid to go see this one
 
    7. Apocalypse Now (6 per cent)- Seen it. Struggled through it.

    8. Goodfellas (5 per cent)- Didn't waste my time

    9. Blade Runner (5 per cent)- Seen it. Mediocre Sci-fi

    10. The Great Escape (4 per cent) [PressAssociation via SlashFilm] - Have watched this a few times.

I have never seen Casablanca.  I have seen the others.  I liked some of them.  2001 was just about the most boring movie ever.  I had to take a lot of film classes for my first college major so I sat through movies that no one should ever have to watch.

For me, showing 2010 was the most exciting time I had as a projectionist. I had that movie down pat, drawing and opening the curtains and increasing and decreasing the sound levels at appropriate times. (It had a 20 minute reel of music in the middle of the movie.) The BAD time was when I went to the projector just to check the carbon arc lamp, and it went "POOF" and self extinguished. I checked everything in the whole damned booth, shut down the projector, closed the curtains and turned on the lights. I finally shut it all down had the manager refund everyone's ticket price. Turned out I had blown a fuse, way back in the corner of the generator room, that no one had even remembered until the main projectionist found it after remembering his dad talking about it.

I can still see the cue marks to change projectors for movies on TV.

I used to have some fun during the Saturday kiddie shows, though!  :rofl:   :evil:   :thumbs:   :nutkick:  :rotf:  :-)  :lmao:

I've only seen #1, and that only because I was visiting relatives who thought that was interesting.

I've seen all 10. Now I am questioning my reality.

I thought for sure Bergman's The Seventh Seal would top the list. It has such iconic imagery.

Ten minutes into #6, I fell asleep. The little I saw of it was BORING.  :yawn:

I've seen Goodfellas and The Great Escape all the way through. The others? Only snippets here and there.
How old where you when you watched it? I loved it when it first came out but I was a late age teenager at the time, and I think the movie's target audience. I don't think it stands up as a whole to repeated viewings but it does have a lot of scenes that are still funny.

Out of the ones listed, I've only seen Blade Runner.

I've never seen It's a wonderful life, nor have I seen Citizen Kane.
I'm beginning to thing I am a movie whore. Maybe I need a job of some sort in the industry.

I've seen them all. (Bogie didn't say "Play it again, Sam.") I love movies from the 30's & 40's.  Didn't like Taxi Driver, 2001 or Blade Runner.
Of all those movies, I guess I like Casablanca the least.

I like the one where Bogie owns the boat and helps the French diplomat and there's an old drunken sailor guy much better.

I think the "Play it again, Sam" came from an advertising campaign in the 1970s. I don't remember what they were advertising but they had a Bogie sound-alike.

Thread jacking....A local TV channel has been showing every bad movie Vincent Price ever made.....but last night they showed "The Blue Max". Hadn't seen it in years.
I don't think I've ever heard of that one.

Love Theater of Blood.

This is the clean version. There is a much more explicit version on the CD. Don't know if there is a video of that. The explicit version, while NSFW, is much better.

But I believe this would answer your question if you pretend The Godfather had been directed by Martin Scorsese. Which in an alternate Red Eye bit, it was:

About 50, IIRC. Mrs E laughed hysterically and thinks it's the cat's balls, but I found it boring as hell.
