Famous movies you have NEVER seen!

[JaiDee]

you're not missing much

Good choice Whore, it was a classic and introduced a generation of new actors to the big screen.

American Graffiti was good. It was the first film of its type with its Rock n Roll soundtrack. Whore wasn't alive when any of the songs were released, hell, I wasn't alive when some of 'em were hits.

Look for a young Harrison Ford as the bad guy in the drag race. It was his first important role in anything. I would have written his career off there & then.

A great coming of age movie...Filmed in several small towns in NorCal withon a few miles of where I lived and grew up (albeit I'm still growing)...
The TV show Happy Days and characters like Fonzie all grew out of it...

Go watch it Whore...

i've avoided this thread because i love movies second only to ladyboys. (how about a thread 'famous ladyboys i've never fucked'? at least i could make up a list.) but now that i've read it through with repeated spit-takes at the off-hand nature with which some of the greatest art in the history of the world has been sloughed off (imagine someone saying they didn't want to fuck Mint -- for free -- because they had a buddy who said she was 'too thin') -- i have but one question:

"sex in the city 2" is a "Famous" movie?


i guess i have a "list" after all.

(Bumpa STIKKA @ Jun. 05 2010,09:58) 2 - Forrest Gump - Laaaaaf is laaaak a bax o chacalats... Fuck off you spastic CUNT!

There has never been a movie like Gump & there never will be. Tom Hanks is quite extraordinary as Forrest, only an actor of the highest stature could have pulled this off.

He never falters once & takes the audience from reviling his simple-ness to a state of adoration for his personal transformation. I don't know if others will agree about the use of the word "adoration" but I can't think of any other word that fits.

I don't mind admitting I cried watching this but it was a good cry, the one you reserve for the underdog who makes good. And my god, does Forrest ever make good. And not once do you see a flicker of smirk on Hank's face.

I understand perfectly the danger of hyping a movie & trying to force your opinion on someone saying they will like something, it triggers a disposition in many of those whom you wish to convert to automatically reject whatever you are selling.

However, I will risk rejection & urge anyone who has never seen Forrest Gump to lay aside their prejudice & watch it. And a warning, the "running" scenes are a trial, they went too long for me but it quickly gets back on track. Possibly my all-time favourite movie. YMMV.

[JaiDee]

Liked it, seen it 3 or 4 times, could watch again any time.

Those are rare.......

(JaiDee @ Jun. 05 2010,17:30) John Woo my arse.

Yeah, better leave that to alyssa

Anyone seen Rebel Without a Cause ? I haven't yet. Mmm Natalie Wood

[Lefty]

I 100% agree with both of you. Forrest Gump is a superb movie. Tom Hanks' best and he's had a lot of good ones. I could watch it any time.

I just seen a couple of years ago for the first time. It's not a bad movie, worth seeing, but didn't live up to it's reputation IMO.

I agree...Forrest is an exceptional story, and film ...And, I've probably watched it more than 3 or 4 times...I do like Tom Hanks movies....Except for..................

And if you guys liked Forrest what did you think about The World According to Garp?

ROBERTA:  I mean, I had mine removed surgically under general anesthesia. But to have it bitten off in a Buick...   Could almost be a NF line...

I have to agree with paccers on this one: Forrest Gump could so easily decend into pathos but doesn't because Forrest never feels sorry for himself. Hanks and Co do a remarkable job to keep the thread of this movie alive and sparkling the entire journey. A movie I thought I would hate but ended up loving: the editing in of Forrest's meeting with Kennedy, Nixon and Lennon is remarkable.

Rebel Without a Cause: if you were enjoying ovulation in the 50's you will enjoy it. Now it seems dated and prissy. Sorry.

That's my impression from the little I've seen. Would still be interesting to see Jimmy Dean. Speaking of prissy, I heard he was in the closet

[TTChang]

Soon after I first met Kahuna in Bangkok, he gave up on any conversations with me about movies. 'Haven't you seen ANY fucking movies at all?'  Fair comment!!!

So I won't bore you by listing the many I've not seen.   Just to say ..... I saw 'Sound of Music' when I was young, and am still suffering the trauma    Does that explain something?

Better go find Forrest Gump now!

Oh Jimmy Dean was an arse bandit for sure. As was Sal Mineo who co-starred in RWaC. Give Sal his due, by the late 60's he was well out of the closet, probably to his disadvantage.
As rumour has it Natalie Wood was a stump-rubber it's small wonder the movie seems so camp.
