Guest El Satanico Report post Posted June 8, 2003 Rear Window Psycho Vertigo North by Northwest The Man Who Knew Too Much The Third Man Chinatown Once again... There are many people who will not watch old movies and will likely say black and white movies suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted June 8, 2003 Casablanca Many people will not watch old movies or black and white movies. Anyone who uses THAT as an excuse for not liking a film should be disqualified. To me, their opinion doesn't even matter. For fuck sakes, you should have at least WATCHED a film to be able to have a say in this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted June 8, 2003 Well, I must say that I can at least tolerate most of the movies on this list, but I don't like Max Power, who hates half the greatest movies ever made and haven't seen the other half. That's not a flame, it just strikes me as really odd that you exist. And again, trying to find a movie that even 9/10 people like is a thankless chore, but you guys are doing ok so far.

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted June 8, 2003 I LOVE Big Trouble in Little China. Part of my holey '80's trinity along with Buckaroo Banzai and Remo Williams. And Downhome knows that I jive with everything he's listed. We are among the few and the proud who know truly what's up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mole Report post Posted June 8, 2003 Monsters Inc "Cartoons are for kids" Many people will simply refuse to watch cartoons because of the belief that all cartoons are meant strictly for kids. So all cartoons are out of contention. Your loosing the point. If a person actually saw this movie, they would like it. I'm not talking about people wanting to see movies, but movies that everyone liked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 5_moves_of_doom Report post Posted June 8, 2003 Here are a few off the top of my head, all of which I love, but I want to try them out here... Casablanca Thought it was really quite boring when I was young. Now in highschool, just about all of my friends STILL think it's really quite boring. Meet the Parents Haven't met anyone who doesn't like this... I just can't watch it anymore since I saw it so many fucking times when it first came out, but eh, I liked it at first. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? This is almost a cult classic. The people I know who like it just LOVE it, and the people who don't like it are completely disenchanted. Either way, some don't like it, so yeah. Toy Story Toy Story 2 Second one was better upon first viewing, but the first is much more timeless since the sequel gets a little old after a bit. Anyhow, the "BUT IT'S A CARTOON!" rule applies here. Some of my friends just refuse to like it. Pulp Fiction My favorite movie of all time. Pretty much everyone that I've shown it to has loved it as well, but I do actually have a stupid friend or two who somehow got CONFUSED during the fucking movie. I guess it was the chronilogical thing, maybe. Oh, and some don't like the violence/cursing, too. Se7en "Just too dark" for my Dad. Adaptation Somehow, SOME-fucking-HOW, a bunch of people didn't like this. I think it's because they don't get that the ending being bad is the POINT, but eh. There we go... Oh, and one more film to add to the list: The Graduate, perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This thread is about movies that are liked by EVERYONE so the ignorant and close minded people must be included. If someone hasn't even seen a movie, then how can their opinion count in the first place? This should be movies that you HAVE seen and are able to comment on. If we do it using excuses like they don't even WATCH a movie because it's a cartoon or in b/w then we can stop this discussion right now. Hell, there are people that don't watch either comedy, drama, action, or other entire genres. We need to do this in terms of movies that we HAVE seen, and only talk about US, because we obviously can't talk to EVERYONE. If you haven't seen a movie, then don't comment on it.

Guest 5_moves_of_doom Report post Posted June 8, 2003 Rear Window Psycho Vertigo North by Northwest The Man Who Knew Too Much The Third Man Chinatown "Dude, it's not scary. Hook up the VCR and let's watch The Ring again," is the reaction I get to a lot of old scary movies. Also, black-and-white does actually turn people off. Even if they give the movie a chance, it just seems more boring to them for some odd reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted June 8, 2003 Well, I must say that I can at least tolerate most of the movies on this list, but I don't like Max Power, who hates half the greatest movies ever made and haven't seen the other half. That's not a flame, it just strikes me as really odd that you exist. I don't hate them, I appreciate what they've done for cinema, I personally just don't like them. Like The Godfather. I know that it is a cinematic classic, but I can't sit there and watch the movie. It's not my style of movie, I don't identify with characters, I just don't like it. Sorry.

I would include Lethargic, but I refuse to accept him after he claimed up and DOWN that actors mean almost nothing to the filmmaking process. That wacky numnut, heh.

Guest Downhome Report post Posted June 8, 2003 Here is one, but keep this in mind. Don't say anything unless you have seen it, and are able to enjoy these kind of movies overall. If you don't like THIS one, that's fine, but don't give a general reason for hating it, like you hate ALL films like this... Nosferatu ...oh yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I respect and commend the fact that you realize how important such films are even though you might not like them. To get into your personal tastes and what you do like in a movie might be interesting to me, but let's not get into it and bore everyone else. It might be an annoying trait in me, but I often take it upon myself to 'educate' people on older elements of pop culture that they don't even know exists. At least Max Power knows that there is different stuff out there than what's being spewed out by Hollywood and such now. Some people are far more ignorant.
