Morlock 11 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Well, you're a little biased. I mean, you're a Stephen King fan commenting on a Kubrick movie. Casablanca, Seven Samurai, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Psycho, Schindler's List, Dr. Strangelove, Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, Stalag 17, 12 Angry Men. Those are the top ten that popped into my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 It's one of those MUST SEE classics that you see once, because you are supposed too.Anyone else sit through Bronenosets Potyomkin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Of course. I just listed the first 10 to jump into my head. Citizen Kane, naturally up there too. And that's the LAST classic to see once because you have to. you have to see it at least 3-4 times before really liking it, and another half a dozen or so before realy loving it. And then throw in a couple dozen times mre just to let your appreciation sink in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,337 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 It took me 3 times! The first two times I was way too young. I think I didn't make it till the end of the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker 5 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 If she says she doesn't do endorsements, tell her the sign actually has a typo and then pencil in an "E" between the "J" and the "W".

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 If you haven't given up reading this thread yet, welcome to JWFan Yarko! I'm an oldie too. 34 and counting. Star Wars got me into JW back in 78. I've been a fan ever since. I even taped the 1994 oscars just in case Williams won, which he did as pointed out above! He thanked Ken Wannberg, and that's about all he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie_twinkle 48 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Good list Joe. I would also include Chaplin's finest two movies, The Kid and City Lights. Also Alastair Sim's version of Scrooge (1951) which is the best in my opinion. Philadelphia Story is a fine movie too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 thanks, pt, how the hell did I forget Alastair Sim's Scrooge, that is possibly one of my favorite films ever, and yes it belongs on that list to.It is the quintissential Christmas Carol film, and just a damned great movie any time of the year.and yes KM you are younger than I, I am 44 years and nearly 3 months old, and loving it.

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Scrooge is on my mind a lot these days. I'll be giving it my annual viewing soon, but I'd rather wait a few weeks to get the right Christmas spirit (no pun intended...). It came out on DVD a year or so back. You get the standard version plus a nasty '80s colorised version (shudder). Still, at least they included the original too. Now if only George Lucas would do the same with his DVDs....

Bowie 45 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I'm 19 now.In 1999 when I was 15, my brother downloaded some Saving Private Ryan tracks which grew on me over time, and I harmonised/jammed with them with my French horn (which I was forced to pick up and learn two years before). It led me to download some other "John Williams" pieces, and I was DUMBFOUNDED, FLABBERGHASTED at all the themes and movies he had written music to... all my favourites like Jurassic Park, Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and as I downloaded them, I could even identify which scenes they reminded me of.Basically, in 2001, Harry Potter's charming score sealed the deal.If I hadn't had access to a downloading program, I would never have bought the numerous Williams albums as a result. Just one example of the benefits of downloading: figuring out your actual musical taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,337 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 You all forgot to mention Sunset Boulevard, directed by Billy Wilder. And, of course, The Heiress (William Wyler), one of mine personal favorites. They all don't have to be American films either. Here's one that will truly flabbergast you: http://movie-reviews.colossus.net/movies/w...wages_fear.html----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
