Classic Movies You've Never Seen

Really Jurassic Park? It's so good! I remember getting so scared during that when I was a kid. Haven't seen Casablanca either. Although I did watch Breakfast at Tiffany's for the first time about two years ago. Haven't seen any Marilyn Monroe movies either. Oops.

Casino and Raging Bull when I made a quick search through the IMDB 250. I can't really be held accountable for anything pre-1965, imo. I just saw Goodwill Hunting a week ago.

You like apples?

Good Will Hunting is one of my top 10 favorites. The scene where he embarrasses that douchebag in the bar is just class. I share a similar view on formal education (I'm way more successful as a self-educator than I am working within the school structure, though I do recognize it works well for some folks). It served to motivate me to muddle through certain math classes. Great movie.

I looooooove Hitchcock but I think Vertigo is one of his worst movies, despite it being one of the most famous. I just think it's not as clever and doesn't live up to the writing and plot of many of his other ones. I feel the praise is unwarranted. Strangers on a Train and North by Northwest are the shit, though.

The movie was great. And that's a good point. I'm actually glad I watched it when I did, because if I was younger it wouldn't have resonated with me the way it did and I probably would have forgotten about it. All of the dialog between him and Robin Williams was excellent.

The Graduate

Same here. It's been staring at me from the beginning of the instant queue for awhile now.

The Graduate

Psycho

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Dude, those three are probably in the top five of most all-time greatest movie lists (certainly mine included)! You really owe it to yourself. Get your arse to the library or Blockbuster or online or whatever.

You don't here people say that very often, but I completely agree with you! I'm not sure it's on my top ten...Rear Window, North by Northwest, Notorious, Psycho, Rebecca, Strangers on a Train, Shadow of a Doubt, Spellbound, The Lady Vanishes, 39 Steps...no, not quite.

I don't have that much knowledge about Hitchcock so I don't really know what I should begin with watching :P The only film I've really seen is Psycho (seen it like 4-5 times) and I remember seeing The Birds when I was 5, 6 or something like that.

I've been thinking about looking more into his films but right now I'm stuck with watching old horror B movies :P

I haven't seen any of those either. Although, I have no desire to see the last one.

What the fuck??!?!!!? Paul Newman and Robert Redford in probably the greatest western (made outside of the era most westerns were made) of all time??!!? That movie is hilarious. And it's like the king of all buddy movies. Personally speaking, I think Cool Hand Luke is the best Paul Newman movie, but this is a close second. Many would disagree and I respect that opinion. Either way, it's such a classic and you just got to see it!

Yeah, that scene where Robin is telling him about how he had tickets to see the Sox in the World Series in '75 where Carlton Fisk hit the home run he willed fair... that scene has stayed with me. In part that's because I'm such a baseball fan and in part because it's just such a great life lesson. But I love how he and Will just are getting into it together, both re-enacting that famous at-bat, before Robin drops the hard-hitting punchline about that story. Man, such a great scene. There are many great scenes in that movie.

Oh and for another contribution, The Sound of Music.

Jesus, dude! :blink:

It's nice to save a few classics for a rainy day. I should probably do a Hitchcock marathon at some point; North by Northwest is the only movie of his that I've ever seen.
