Must See Movies

[Cowboysrock55]

From our sample we see one who apparently likes it (you), one who was able to bear through, one who made it halfway through and one who doesn't even care...
It may have been astonishing for it's time, but don't fool yourself, it's not really that good.

This group isn't exactly a wide sample of the real world.

And you are just being antagonistic. Everyone can have an opinion different than yours. You however cant help but state your opinion is the only valid position. That is a narrow minded view of being judgmental.

Let me get this straight, booze and Iamtdg comment how no one will want to watch a 4 HR movie, you counter with gone with the wind, a movie made before anyone here but you was born, I say that movie wasn't that great and you get offended?
Sorry...

But it is a fairly good sample of the movie going crowd, especially comic based movies.

Well this movie could be 2 hours and I wouldn't see it. Not sure my vote matters much than.

You missed the point of who is offended. It was my option that you have taken offense to and you reacted in a negative and narrow stance. Get over yourself and don’t think that your opinion of the film is shared by most. It’s was just an example of another long movie that was very long but accepted by many over three and maybe four generations.

Sorry, I didn't know I was offended. I thought I was agreeing with the first two that 4 hours nowadays is way to long for a movie, not taking a "negative and narrow stance" to your "option". I do however stand by my statement that "GWTW" was never such a great movie, I compare it to "Phantom Menace" where all the hype made it a must see at the time, but the movie itself really isn't that good, and at least most that have chimed in on the subject seem to agree...

I drill my 21 year old to appreciate the comedy classics.

So I ask him, what is your classic?

He gives me "Dude Where's My Car?".

Has he seen Dumb and Dumber?

Have you shown him Blazing Saddles?

 

[NoDak]

Both fine selections.

I assume, just because it's booze's kid, he's well versed in all things Caddyshack. So I will submit Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Ruprecht is a must see.

 

[Angrymesscan]

Excellent choices all, I might add Airplane!, young Frankenstein, The Party and Monty Python Holy Grail which was my 15 year olds favorite, apparently there's a lot of memes from that one...

 

[Genghis Khan]

Jesus.

Dude Where's My Car? is 21 years old.

Blazing Saddles is about as old today as Gone With the Wind was in the 80s.

My god.

My god.

You're an old fart.

 

[boozeman]

Braveheart or Gladiator.

Choose.

 

[Rev]

Braveheart or Gladiator.

Choose.

Are you arguing with your wife?

Gladiator.

 

[boozeman]

Are you arguing with your wife?

Gladiator.

I am gonna have to disagree with you here, yeah.

Don't get me wrong but Braveheart did the job better for me.

Gladitor didn't have the same vibe for me.

 

[jsmith6919]

Braveheart or Gladiator.

Choose.

Hmm very close call, I'd say Braveheart takes it

 

[Cotton]

Braveheart or Gladiator.

Choose.

Man, thats a tough one. I have to go with Gladiator.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Both great but Gladiator for me. Just an exceptionally well done movie.

 

[NoDak]

Braveheart or Gladiator.

Choose.

Braveheart.

Both damn good, tho.
