I've never seen the Godfather movies either!!!! Which is pretty funny since I'm a film buff and watching movies is part of my career.

Uncanny.

I'm not a film historian at all. There are several classics I've never seen like The Godfather films, Jaws, Alien, The Shining, Casablanca, Gone With The Wind, Citizen Kane, etc. I would like to see Citizen Kane. The others, eh.

Dio! you haven't seen Schindler's List? well it is based on a book, so read the book b4 u see the movie.

define popular films. Well, I mainly watch old classic films so I prolly haven't seen many. Today, I only watch modern films if they are abt WW II or if its an historical drama, bio-pic, or if its a work of literatre (good literature) being adapted into a film.

So make a list of popular films and I'll tell u if I've seen it or not. The most recent film I've seen is The Lives of Others (German foreign film) which I STRONGLY recommend to eveyone, especially history buffs.

The Lives Of Others was excellent. I don't know if it deserved to beat Pan's Labyrinth for best foreign film at the Oscars though.

sextonseven said:

There seem to be others who liked Match Point too, so I'll put it at the top of my list along with Princess Mononoke.

Oh, and get your butt to the video store and rent The Godfather and Alien right now! Sheesh!

sextonseven said:

Oh, I've seen all those.

sextonseven said:

I wasn't blown away by the Lives of Others, didn't realize it won the award. I haven't see Pan's Labyrinth yet.

I haven't seen Titanic and probably never will. Reasons:

I hate Celine Dion and tha bloody song;

If I want to see dead Irish people, I'll drive on the sidewalk here in Dublin;

And because of luck. One of my grand-uncles had a ticket for the Titanic, couldn't go and sold it! I'll leave well enough alone.

I loved Pan's Labyrinth. I'll be buying that on DVD.

sextonseven said:

The Lives of Others was indeed excellent. I believe it did deserve to win the Oscar for best foreign film- considering that this is the director's FIRST big film. It took six-seven years to make, because of the research to make the film. It won 7 Lola Awards (german oscars), 3 European Film Awards, and was definetly qualified to win Best Foreign Film at the Oscars.

Get to renting

heartbeatocean said:

well- i guess it depends on your taste in films i guess. I know the ppl that were in the theater with me were just as blown away by the film as I was. It was simply brearthtaking. So many people stayed behind and hung by the doors to just listen to the music as the end credits rolled and to watch the credits. And I got to meet several ppl and we all agreed that the film was awesome and that it deserved to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. I had waited months to see this film (since November of last year) and it was worth the wait.

I finally saw The Departed thanks to my brother... that was such a good movie and Mark Wahlberg character was my favorite, I loved his attitude.

statuesqque said:

Yes, liked it a lot,too!

sextonseven said:

People keep telling me to go see it.

tznekbsbfrvr said:

Yeah, it does. I thought it was good, but I have a very particular taste in films that I go ga-ga over.

heartbeatocean said:

The cinematography is awesome. It's a very visual film. And the storyline is very dark which I like of course.

sextonseven said:

i finally came around to watching Homicidal today,, very unpredictible ending
