I'm not sure I want to 🙂 Avatar is one I probably should watch, but the long run time always discourages me. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 From the list, I haven't seen the following. I compiled the list to see if there was a pattern, but I'm not sure. I bought a few of these on disc but haven't watched them yet. Princess Bride and Godfather are probably the two from this list that I'm hoping to watch very soon. The others on my radar next include Apocalypse Now and Dances with Wolves. @Justin how did you compile the list? On what basis?

RickR Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 @socrates63, given your list, I'd rank them like this in order of "must see". The Princess Bride: 36 years (OMG, what are you waiting for? This one is MADE for us Gen X'ers) Wall-E: 15 years (Pixar at their peak) Office Space: 24 years (It's really funny for those of us who worked in the office back in the dot com boom) The Godfather: 51 years (Absolutely a giant of movies. Masterpiece. FFC's debut. I watched this one with my adult children recently and they initially thought it seemed tired, until I reminded them that so many other movies have stood upon the shoulders of this giant. Marlon Brando's peak, and the slow-burn of Al Pacino as Michael Corleone gives it so much more depth than the book. Holy cow, now I want to watch it again) It’s a Wonderful Life: 77 years (It's Christmas season, and this one is schmaltzy, but not in a Hallmark Channel way. Jimmy Stewart is in FULL Jimmy Stewart-mode.) Psycho and Vertigo (Hitchcock - watch them together...they are short. Notice how Hitchcock is a master in sight and sound) Everything else on your list is worth watching, but I don't feel are good enough to rank. socrates63 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Thanks for the playlist @RickR. I will watch them all this month. I've heard often how Apocalypse Now and Dance with Wolves are classics that I always had them in mind especially DWW since I'm a fan of Westerns.

RickR Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 You let us know what you think. Apocalypse Now is very intense! And DWW is very long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
