And also I am dead against highly dated films that maybe only one whole generation would appreciate as being in the top 100.

For example.

I think people will watch the following movies a thousand years from now maybe

Godfather, Pulp Fiction, Clockwork Orange, Lawrence of Arabia, Seven Samurai, Sound of Music, maybe Star Wars, It's a Wonderful Life, Wizard of Oz, Rudy

These won't be watched 100 years from now

Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Citizen Kane, a lot of the WW2 movies, a lot of movies based on special effects when special effects were bad like King Kong, Look Who's Coming to Dinner,
A lot of Hitchcock will stand the test of time.

Casablanca is going nowhere..same with Citizen Kane, Gone with teh Wind, I think Rudy will be forgotten...I mean how many kids watch Life of Brian now?


Throw Life of Brian on a top 100 list and more people will watch it just because it's there.

Life of Brian is truly a great movie. Just needs more PR.


Oh I absolutely agree. My gym teacher made us watch it during Gym class in high school because none of us had seen it.

Life of Brian = Monty Python comedy

Brian's Song = story of Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers

If people are missing out on that story in 100 years, that's their own bad.  It's 100 times better than Rudy (which I also found enjoyable, although not an all-time great film).
I was wondering why someone would watch Life of Brian in gym class.

I know some gym teachers who may have the kids watch Life of Brian b/c they'd never seen it - heck in 8th grade we watched Feris Bueller b/c no one had ever seen it

Never walked out of a movie. Almost did once, but the girl I was with was worth sitting through that piece of trash called 'Honey'.

Quick list of movies I would have walked out of:

Touristas
Hostage
Alien Vs Predator 2
The Happening

I've never walked out of a movie in the theater, although my dad almost did when we saw 1. Dark Man and 2. L.A. Confidential (agree on Dark Man, strongly disagree on L.A. Confidential).

There are a lot of movies I've rented that I had a hard time getting through, though.  I attempted to watch The English Patient probably four times, and couldn't get through.  I kept falling asleep during Citizen Kane, but finally made it to the end.

Darkman was sooo bad but I saw it with my Dad and its one of my lasting memories with him so its been one of those movies Ive stored away...but LA confidential??? Amazing flick...I cant understand what ciritcs wanted more with it
