I have never seen The Crow (Which people tell me is great), and I've never seen E.T.
E.T. scared the shit out of me from pictures/commercials, so I never got around to seeing it. Heard the recent version has walkie talkies for guns?
It was easily the best of the new trilogy in my view.
Nooooooooooooo!
Sorry, seeing Darth Vader shake his fists like a petulant child while they dub James Earl Jones's reaction to seeing the script over it...easily wins first & worst place for that alone.
Anyway, all three were shite so it's pretty academic.
Why does everyone have a problem with the AvP movies? Granted they aren't as thorough as AvP:2 (PC game) was with it's story...but they're not bad action flicks. When I think of Alien...I think of a bunch of suspense followed by moments of ohshit. When I think Predator I think of the same thing...except theres no "oh shit" someone just gets a spear, or a disc, or a plasma bolt...and is then collected as a trophy.
When I think of both together I don't expect there to be too much more than explaining how the hell the two most bad ass extraterrestrials ever are now beating on each other and killing a hapless group of humans who just so happened wander into the middle of it.
Still It is a given that I'd love to see an AvP movie done in the styling of the Aliens cinematography. Long, detailed, uncrappy. If done right that could be a 2 and a half hour movie.
Ohhh I see. Meh. I suppose there is a good point there. Doesn't mean I won't watch AvP:R. I still like watching people get slaughtered by my two favorite killers .
A v. P is annoying because there was some pretty good source material to work from already, I think. I think there was a fair amount of avp comics, some of it had to be better than that.

I never understood why everyone thinks E.T. is such a great, cute children's movie. That little alien was scary as shit to me as a kid and it still scares me now.

It's a good movie, and I never found E.T. scary (except for that one scene). I wouldn't say it's too great for children, but I'd say 8 year olds could probably handle and enjoy it. It's a fantasy.
Dude, Brad Pitt's got a lot of great films in his oeuvre, you're missing on a lot. Why can't you stand him anyway? I understand his relationship with Jolie made him one of the most ubiquitous celebrity next to Tom Cruise but guy's a really good actor.
I used to think Brad Pitt was some male bimbo, but some of his movies really made me change my mind. Snatch (which he specifically asked to be in), Se7en and Twelve Monkeys in particular.
I really want to see The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
His role in Twelve Monkeys sold me on his acting ability netting him roles more than his good looks.
It's manipulative to the extreme and the movie itself was boring and bereft of subtleties. The only interesting part of it was the Japanese storyline, and that represented what, a quarter of the film? Message movies are ok, but there's a point reached when I grow tired of the film elbowing me saying "see how clever I am? See? I don't need an actual story, because I have a huge moral to preach."
That was the same way I felt about "Crash." That was an awful movie. Like I really want to spend two hours sitting there having the filmmakers pointing their finger at the audience saying "You're all racists and you should feel guilty about it."
You guys have captured my opinion perfectly on Crash and movies like it. Hated that waste of 2 hours.
I have certain movies I am proud of never seeing completely (in full in some cases of movies that come on TV at times) (Passion ot Christ, Titanic, many a popular romantic comedy)

Ten out of the top 20, i'm sort of surprised, I've seen quite a lot of films. (Though i've seen all of 21-30, not "A Wonderful Life", which is very US movie i think, never seen it listed here) . Of those 10, i'm not particularly included to see any of them though.

12 Angry Men (1957) (Strangely, i've seen the remake, with Tony Danza)
You sick freak!
It actually isn't a bad movie in my memory, it was on during a saturday afternoon when I was a teenager. I remember being surprised by the fact that it wasn't horrible, yet featured Tony Danza.
Considering that 12 Angry Men is a classic play, I don't think it's fair to get sanctimonious about film re-makes of it. Plays are designed to be frequently reinterpreted.

Uh, yeah it is. Just because it was a play originally doesn't mean we can't compare the film versions.

If you want to pooh-pooh a film version of it that you've seen, of course that is perfectly OK. I thought you were expressing contempt at the idea of any film re-makes of it due to the excellence of the 1957 version with Henry Fonda. And that's just silly, because it's a play.

It also had Jack Lemon, James Gandolfini, Edward James Olmos, and a few other very fine actors. I haven't seen the original either, but it was a good movie.
Ok so I love crappy movies but I thought I should look through the list and see what I haven't seen.
1. 9.1 The Godfather (1972)
2. 9.1 The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
3. 9.0 The Godfather: Part II (1974)

24. 8.6 Citizen Kane (1941)
26. 8.6 North by Northwest (1959)
30. 8.6 Sunset Blvd. (1950)
16 out of 30 is a little disappointing. There are a few that I will probably never see, Goodfellas, just because I have seen parts and wasn't interested, but I know I need to see some like Citizen Kane just to appreciate how it was made.
Hmm...I wonder just how many of the IMDb Top 250 I have seen?

Cool Hand Luke is one of the most awesome anti-authority films ever.
I used to think The Crow was the greatest shit ever and used to watch it over and over again. I wonder how well it's held up? The sequels however were stupid. I couldn't ever get over the fact that one of the bad guys in the sequels was TRINI: The YELLOW RANGER! I just cracked up whenever I saw her on-screen being "evil"

All creature will die and all the things will be broken. That's the law of samurai.

Just wondering, did you know the Yellow Ranger died?
On the topic of Fight Club and The Big Lebowski, well, Fight Club is just awesome. Fuck your hatred of Brad Pitt, am I to assume you never saw 12 Monkey's either? He was in that too and both movies his character is just... awesome. It's not even a serious character either. It's over the top. And The Big Lebowski, WTF? Wow, I've seen that so many times.
Anyways.. hmm... I don't even know where to start. I am a movie whore. I own many DVD's and watch many movies all the time. I can't even think of a movie I haven't seen.
Well, okay.. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. After almost falling asleep during The Two Towers, I never bothered to spend 3 hours watching this. I mean, I have sat down for SEVEN HOURS STRAIGHT and watched the entirety of The 10th Kingdom. (A 7 hour NBC miniseries that kicks ASS and is on DVD. I watched it from start to finish.) But I can't bring myself to watch LOTR3.
This last year I actually watched many of the movies I have heard so much about and never got to watch. All except LOTR3. And I really don't have any will to watch it either. I prefer Elijah Wood's better roles in Eternal Sunshine, Everything is Illuminated and Back to the Future II.

It's like the British hit 'Lard', except done Hollywood.
Stuff I have not seen - Titanic and a lot of the big tv shows from the last three years or so.
Up until recently I never saw a single superman movie. At this point, I've seen the first one.
When I think of both together I don't expect there to be too much more than explaining how the hell the two most bad ass extraterrestrials ever are now beating on each other and killing a hapless group of humans who just so happened wander into the middle of it.

I just don't get it.
There is already an AvP thread, I don't want to hijack this thread anymore.
I'm honestly having a hard time thinking of big movies I haven't seen...
Come to think of it I haven't seen the Godfather movies either. And much to my father's annoyance...The Quiet Man. Being Irish and all.
Needless to say there's a lot I need to see still.
I never understood why everyone thinks E.T. is such a great, cute children's movie. That little alien was scary as shit to me as a kid and it still scares me now.
See my game reviews at: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=strangegamer

Edit: You guys have captured my opinion perfectly on Crash and movies like it. Hated that waste of 2 hours.
Myself, I still need to see Seven Samurai.
The Godfather (or its sequels)
Disney animated "classics" since Beauty and the Beast
The Jesus movie with Mel Gibson and all the flogging, I can't be arsed to remember the name of it.
A Beautiful Mind
And many others, I'm sure.
That would be the Jesus Chainsaw Massacre.
Yeah, that's the one.

96 of the top 250...better than I expected, but I really would like to see more. I also own Cool Hand Luke and To Kill a Mockingbird, just haven't gotten around to watching them yet, so in good faith couldn't include them on the list.
The remake was decent. I suppose it's probably the best you could get out of remaking a classic film. But seriously, guys; see the original. A lot of people say Lee J. Cobb's performance is overblown, but honestly it feels pitch-perfect to me. And Henry Fonda is amazing as usual.
Cool Hand Luke is one of the most awesome anti-authority films ever.
Enlist in Star Citizen! Citizenship must be earned!
I swear I'm gonna make a "glasses-shaped indentations" avatar one of these days.
Just wondering, did you know the Yellow Ranger died?
Anyways.. hmm... I don't even know where to start. I am a movie whore. I own many DVD's and watch many movies all the time. I can't even think of a movie I haven't seen.
Well, okay.. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. After almost falling asleep during The Two Towers, I never bothered to spend 3 hours watching this. I mean, I have sat down for SEVEN HOURS STRAIGHT and watched the entirety of The 10th Kingdom. (A 7 hour NBC miniseries that kicks ASS and is on DVD. I watched it from start to finish.) But I can't bring myself to watch LOTR3.
This last year I actually watched many of the movies I have heard so much about and never got to watch. All except LOTR3. And I really don't have any will to watch it either. I prefer Elijah Wood's better roles in Eternal Sunshine, Everything is Illuminated and Back to the Future II.

That's a fucking joke, right? It slays the shit out of Ep.'s 1 and 2.
