Twenty-six years since "Titanic" was released? That sounds right.

Hard to believe with some of these movies!

This thread made me realize that I’m old.

@Justin your listing suddenly makes me feel really old.

[RickR]

I see it as an opportunity to revisit some of these classics.

From that list, there are only three I haven't ever seen.  I'm not sure I want to 🙂  Avatar is one I probably should watch, but the long run time always discourages me.

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?

1. The Social Network: 13 years
2. Inception: 13 years
3. Wall-E: 15 years
4. No Country for Old Men: 16 years
5. Kill Bill: Vol 2: 19 years
6. Kill Bill: Vol 1: 20 years
7. Elf: 20 years
8. Lost in Translation: 20 years
9. Office Space: 24 years
10. You’ve Got Mail: 25 years
11. Pulp Fiction: 29 years
12. Dances with Wolves: 33 years
13. Field of Dreams: 34 years 
14. The Princess Bride: 36 years
15. Apocalypse Now: 44 years
16. Taxi Driver: 47 years
17. The Godfather: 51 years
18. 2001 Space Odyssey: 55 years 
19. Psycho: 63 years
20. Vertigo: 65 years
21. It’s a Wonderful Life: 77 years
22. Citizen Kane: 82 years

Just Twitter 🧠

@socrates63, given your list, I'd rank them like this in order of "must see".

1. The Princess Bride: 36 years (OMG, what are you waiting for?  This one is MADE for us Gen X'ers)
2. Wall-E: 15 years (Pixar at their peak)
3. Office Space: 24 years (It's really funny for those of us who worked in the office back in the dot com boom)
4. 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)
5. 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.)
6. 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]

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]

You let us know what you think.

Apocalypse Now is very intense!  And DWW is very long!

I tried to say that in a different way.  LOL
