There was a similar questionaire poll on FB about this. Popular movies that you think everyone has seen (but you). For me, "The Color Purple", "Titanic" and "Schindler's List".

I plan on watching the trilogy at some point when i have an entire weekend to kill

You finally saw the first Into the Spider-Verse, the GOAT Spidey film, and 2nd place ain't even in the same league, ballpark, or sport?

It's not a movie but I'd also add Breaking Bad to the list. Everyone always recommends it to me but it just looks painfully uninteresting to me.

I've heard about that one I have never seen it either And ive never watched "24"

Yeah this thread will get massive if we include every overhyped watercooler-TV-drama-of-the-week of the last 20 years in this.

Spoiler-Alert: They all look painfully uninteresting. I tune out the second whoever's recommending these busts out their trademark line:

"Now, it starts slow, but stick with it! It really picks up in the middle of like the second season."

k, so, only some 70 hours of content later does it get good? These people all swear up and down that movies are inferior because of lack of character development, too. Well when you have friggin' 90 episodes to build character I'd certainly hope the development is superior. No wonder every movie is like 4 hours now, the whole industry has been corrupted.

Breaking Bad was really good, actually btw, but that doesn't negate my rant.

It also didn't prevent me from jumping in like the middle of Season 4 during an AMC marathon and perfectly enjoying the rest of the series without the molasses "slow build, you gotta stick with it!" of the early seasons.

A Clockwork Orange

Jaws

On The Waterfront

Sunset Boulevard

The African Queen

Chinatown

The Grapes of Wrath

The Maltese Falcon

Dr. Strangelove

Apocalypse Now

Doctor Zhivago

Taxi Driver

The Philadelphia Story

M*A*S*H

Cry Baby

Vertigo

The French Connection

Ben-Hur

There are a good amount of AFI's Top 100 I've not seen. Yet.

I don't like the animation. It gives me a headache.

Then you are not going to like Across the Spider-verse - It has different animation depending on which universe you are in.

Well child, I can't help what someone takes offense to, especially if I'm not being offensive. But if you thought about it, you'd remember my reply on this.
