Battra92 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I have seen: 1. Citizen Kane 1941 2. Casablanca 1942 3. The Godfather (I'm the only person who did not care for it) 4. Gone with the Wind 1939 6. The Wizard of Oz 1939 10. Singin' in the Rain 1952 11. It's a Wonderful Life 1946 12. Sunset Blvd. 1950 15. Star Wars 1977 18. Psycho 1960 23. The Maltese Falcon 1941 29. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington 1939 33. High Noon 1952 34. To Kill a Mockingbird 1962 35. It Happened One Night 1934 40. North by Northwest 1959 41. West Side Story 1961 43. King Kong 1933 44. The Birth of a Nation 1915 (This movie is amazing considering it was made in 1915) 46. A Clockwork Orange (Couldn't finish it because it was so dreadful) 49. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937 55. The Sound of Music 1965 58. Fantasia 1940 63. Stagecoach 1939 71. Forrest Gump 1994 72. Ben-Hur 1959 73. Wuthering Heights 1939 (I liked the more modern version better) 74. The Gold Rush 1925 75. Dances with Wolves 1990 76. City Lights 1931 81. Modern Times 1936 85. Duck Soup 1933 86. Mutiny on the Bounty 1935 87. Frankenstein 1931 90. The Jazz Singer 1927 91. My Fair Lady 1964 95. Pulp Fiction 1994 97. Bringing Up Baby 1938 98. Unforgiven 1992 99. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner 1967 100. Yankee Doodle Dandy 1942 Personally I find the list rather horrid. I mean, three Chaplin films and no Buster Keaton? Where's Intolerance? Frankenstein was decent but worthy of the top 100 list? I don't think so. I'd put Lugosi as Dracula above Frankenstein. No Adventures of Robin Hood? All total I've seen 41 so I have 59 to go. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yeah, I'm pretty surprised "The General" isn't on that list. Also, Horse Feathers is way better than Duck Soup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yeah, I'm pretty surprised "The General" isn't on that list. Also, Horse Feathers is way better than Duck Soup. I prefer A Night at the Opera but yeah, Horse Feathers is one of their best. Will there be anything further, father? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I haven't seen A Night at the Opera. My dad has the collection so I'll have to borrow that one from him. I guess I also need to see Citizen Kane but I hear that it's just so darn boring. I've been on a big "classics" kick lately. It's not even so much that I love the classics it's just that I see these movies spoofed so much I have to go back and find out what the original context is.

c hoertjes Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 How can you not like The Wizard of Oz? Or One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest? That movie swept all 5 major awards at the Oscars. It's fucking incredible filmmaking. Gah, I'm going to stop before I get myself in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
