I can name several classics, although I am trying to change that.

Gone with the Wind
To Kill a Mockingbird (dying to see this one)

I actually saw that one. I didn't think I'd like it, but I did. It wasn't as spectacular as everyone said, but it was visually beautiful. My 2 year old watched the entire movie.

I heard there will be a 2nd and 3rd.

I've never seen either of those.  I haven't seen Citizen Kane either.

Me either.

My husband and I have made it our mission to watch many old classics. We so far have only seen Casablanca and Vertigo. Both left me just blah. I think it is a time thing. Had I seen them years ago, maybe I could appreciate them. Same for Easy Rider. I think I either needed to be stoned or living in that era.

I liked the first 3 Star Wars (or the last ones) that were out when I was little. Now, with the new ones, I just can't get into them. I watched the first of the prequal when it came out, and I was underwhelmed.

There are several 'classic' movies I've tried and just couldn't force myself to sit through.  I can't think of any I haven't actually seen.

The thing with a lot of classics, at least IMO, is that they represent a certain time. Casablanca I heard was phenomenal. Well my hubby and I watched, and I did realize how many sayings come from that movie, but I thought "this is what the big fuss is over". But, that's how it goes. My mom told me to watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and I did love that one, and that one isn't as old as Casablanca obviously.

I thought I'd love Vertigo since I love Hitchcock, but again, it was very underwhelming for me.

Let me specify: I loved Hitchcock Presents when I was young. It came on Nick at Nite. I haven't seen many of his films.

Black and white movies bore me to death.  Not that I enjoy modern fast-paced movies with scenes that cut in and out so fast you can't see anything, but b&w is just dull, dull, dull.

I've seen all of those, and the only ones I recommend are the Bourne movies. They're quite good. I don't think I want to see the new one coming out that doesn't have Matt Damon in it though.

My husband and I went to the movies to see that one. I felt bad for buying popcorn and coke. Thankfully, the waiting time before the movie was long enough for us to eat it because there is no chomping away during that movie. I cried like a baby in that movie. I never cry. Not even hardly in real life much less for a movie. Definitely worth seeing. But it is powerful and emotionally draining.


And I still feel guilty for thinking Jesus was hot. I mean seriously, Jim Cavezal (sp???) is hot, and I felt bad about it, but I didn't think it a lot through the movie, there were some moments though... He did an excellent job.

it isn't that they were bad, and I couldn't watch them.  it's that they hooked me, and I couldn't stop watching them.  and afterwards, they bothered me a good bit.  those two movies are seriously forked up.

cape fear is Terrantino's revenge for not getting the oscar a few years before.  it takes every cheap shot at the audience possible.  things explode.  doors slam.  close ups happen as those big noises happen.  tand then, this clearly bad guy gets too close to this clearly innocent girl.

He's definitely not right in the head. OR if he is then I am not. I haven't seen any of the Kill Bill movies. But I enjoyed Reservoir Dogs. I like Buscemi a lot, and I liked him in that movie. Harvey Keitel and Buscemi play crazy people pretty well.

It was definitely one of those movies that conveyed a 'feeling' more than an actual storyline.  I thought Napoleon Dynamite was the same way.  Aside from the final part of the movie culminating in the talent show, there wasn't much else to it.

Fargo didn't do it for me either.  I've only seen The Big L. once and thought it was good but I don't get the cult around that movie.  I think Raising Arizona is still one of the best Cohen Bros. movies.

I cry like a baby at Braveheart.  I start crying **Spoiler Alert highlight following text to read** when his wife dies and I don't stop until the end.  I've been known to start when the kings men take the bride away the wedding as well.  

I also  cry at pretty much any movie with a serious war scene.  Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, etc.

I saw the first Saw because I love scary movies. Kinda creeped me out, but after watching the second, I decided not to see any more of them.

Hostel was terrible. It was pure torture. Literally. Now maybe the Saw movies went as far as that one did after the second one, but the premise for Hostel was people who get off on watching others be tortured. I guess Saw was the same, but it was just this one dude who was pyscho. In Hostel, people paid to watch these innocent Hotel stayers be tortured. I couldn't hardly finish it, and most of it was with closed eyes. But, it isn't real, and I don't think those that enjoy those movies actually like people to be tortured. I don't know why they like them. Maybe the fear it gives them. That is kinda why I watch scary movies. I like to be scared (in that way). Still, as I said much earlier in this thread, torture movies aren't my thing.

The thing with a lot of classics, at least IMO, is that they represent a certain time. Casablanca I heard was phenomenal. Well my hubby and I watched, and I did realize how many sayings come from that movie, but I thought "this is what the big fuss is over". But, that's how it goes. My mom told me to watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and I did love that one, and that one isn't as old as Casablanca obviously.

I thought I'd love Vertigo since I love Hitchcock, but again, it was very underwhelming for me.

Let me specify: I loved Hitchcock Presents when I was young. It came on Nick at Nite. I haven't seen many of his films.

My most favorite classic movies are Auntie Mame ( you HAVE to see it, the Rosalind Russel one..not Lucile Ball) and My Fair Lady.

I cry like a baby at Braveheart.  I start crying **Spoiler Alert highlight following text to read**
I also  cry at pretty much any movie with a serious war scene.  Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, etc.

Rob Roy does it for me!

Have not seen a lot of the recent "popular" movies - Avatar, Harry Potter, Twilight, and I don't watch movies like Saw or any of those....


When I was a kid, The Wizard of Oz was on every Thanksgiving evening.

Gone With the Wind was wonderful.
I took History of Film in college as an elective - one night a week for 2.5 hours. We watched Citizen Kane for 3 WEEKS.... :banghead:

Love old classic WWII movies.

I remember watching to Wizard of Oz every year. I would take a bath, get my PJ's on and my mom would let us sit in front of the TV and eat dinner. Good memories.

I watched "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane" for the first time the other day. The acting was terrible but I couldn't stop watching it.

Wizard of Oz was on every spring, right around the time they would show The Ten Commandments, which would have been near Easter.

I lived in Iowa when Wizard of Oz was on Thanksgiving. Maybe it was a reminder to be "thankful" that we didn't get smashed by tornadoes during the spring and summer.  :-)

Heidi was shown on Christmas Day. "Grandfather, Grandfather!!!"

Amadeus wasn't a bad film, except that it left one to believe that Salieri actually finished Mozart's Requiem. And the actor that portrayed Mozart had an irritating giggle that made me want to throw my box of popcorn through the screen.

Oh, and Brokedick Mountain? NFW.

Capote is another film that I have no intention of seeing, even though the guy who portrayed him won Best Actor Oscar in a leading role. Smarmy, squirrelly, fudgepacker types aren't compelling or interesting in any way.

The Graduate is a must see.  Arthur is great for laughs the first time, if you can handle Liza Minelli in heavy doses.  Dudley Moore & the butler make the movie, however.

I've never seen Casablanca or The Deer Hunter.  Just never got around to them, I guess. 

I get into these grooves where I'll watch a lot of movies from one particular genre, and then I get bored and switch to something completely different.  Right now I've just emerged from a "cheesy horror movie" groove, and I haven't yet picked my next one.  Maybe it's time to watch some of these classics I've never seen.
