Most Famous Movie You've Never Seen - Nubblies.net Forums

For me, it's either Gone with the Wind, Apocalypse Now, or Casablanca.

You?

SittinOnDubsWGW · 02-15-2009, 08:23 PM

All of the above.

More recent flicks that people rave about from last couple years; Million Dollar Baby, There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men, anything that was up for best picture this year.

I'm sure there are more.

These, Passion of the Christ, and adding Scarface and Taxi Driver.

Titanic

f3lix · 02-15-2009, 09:16 PM

Casablanca, all the Star Wars, all the Godfathers, and all the Lord of the Rings.

Mr. Blonde · 02-15-2009, 09:25 PM

That explains a lot.

Care to elaborate? Or were you just trying to loft an air ball of an insult?

Debbie does Dallas.

BigDongedHoe · 02-15-2009, 09:32 PM

Nobody tries to loft airballs, F3lix.

tonguegina · 02-15-2009, 09:58 PM

Apocalypse Now
Platoon
A Few Good Men
Raging Bull
Scarface
The Passion of the Christ
The Sound of Music
The Ten Commandments

Those are all in the running, but if the most famous is synonymous with gross then it would be Gone with the Wind (or the Harry Potters sans inflation).

Mr. Blonde · 02-15-2009, 10:04 PM

You know what old timey black and white movie I thought I wouldn't like but just rented it one day and it ended up being really good? Citizen Kane. Any of you guys catch that one?

Dent · 02-15-2009, 10:36 PM

Ugly Bastard · 02-15-2009, 10:46 PM

Citizen Kane overrated IMO. AFI named it the best movie of last century. Gimme a break, it's not that good.

As cliche as it is, must, must, must recommend the Godfather if you haven't seen it.

Also, tonguegina, Raging Bull and Scarface are must-sees for you. Make it happen.

DJ FC · 02-16-2009, 02:19 AM

I'm surprised this many people havn't seen the original Star Wars trillogy. I'm not sure what it's like watching them for the first time as an adult, but those movies will always be close to my heart.

angry pancake · 02-16-2009, 09:45 AM

Never seen Brokeback Mountain or any Lord of the Rings.

However, I have seen Beerfest more than once.

tonguegina · 02-16-2009, 09:50 AM

Yeah, Raging Bull and Scarface are at the top of my queue. I got into a big '70s era DeNiro kick a few months ago, but RB never came.

I too am surprised at the amount of people that haven't seen Star Wars. It was always on TV when we were kids. I don't know how they missed it. Dent not having seen Raiders of the Lost Ark also surprises me.

...and I have to agree with UB here, Blonde. Citizen Kane blows. It's a fine movie, but way overrated. They give it too much credit, claiming that it invented all of these new film making techniques, when really all it did was borrow from other film disciplines, countries, shorts, and lesser known films. I don't know. I had to watch it three times for three different classes in a four week period in college. I didn't like it any of those times. A lot of the scenes feel dragged out and the dialogue can be pretty weak at times. Certainly shouldn't be at the top of any "Best Movies of All Time" lists. I'd give that to The Godfather (with Casablanca in second).

I think Citizen Kane gets a lot of its credit because of the controversy that surrounded it. If it had just been released like a normal movie without all the Hearst involvement, it would have probably just be seen for what it was: decent. The movie wasn't even noticed by people until way later when they all of the sudden wanted to call it one of the greatest films ever.

ProfessorNumber · 02-16-2009, 01:18 PM

Schindler's List. Never seen it.

Also, I haven't seen any of the above mentioned movies, which I suppose is somewhat silly considering I call myself a movie buff.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 02-16-2009, 02:21 PM

Youre not a movie buff.

Wanted to refresh my post. I've since watched Platoon, Raging Bull, and Apocalypse Now. All damn good. Platoon might have been my favorite, which kind of surprised me since I'm not a huge Oliver Stone guy.

UB, you need to check out Apocalypse Now, though. It's worth it just to see Marlon Brando's small performance at the end and Dennis Hopper on coke.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
