Re: The movie with the highest number of rankings you've never seen

Post by ribcage »

I'm old school and still go to the library. I like the smell and the thrill of the hunt (my other main source for new movies is scouring movie channels to DVR stuff... hence my recent stretch of pre-1980s films thanks to TCM). And I also assume with so much more so easily available to me my sense of yearning to see it all with the knowledge that there's in reality never enough time for that would make me explode. My library offers streaming via hoopla and I already have a taste of it with that.

In any case, I do see it at the library often and have probably touched the spine a few times, but have passed it up for something with Harryhausen effects or like, that 80s bike movie with Kevin Bacon. I must not have very much patience for quality.

Of the top 100, there are eight I haven't ranked.

Some I actually have seen, and thought they were decent, but I just don't remember them well enough to give them an accurate ranking/review so will need to rewatch before I can rank them. These include:

American Beauty
The Big Lebowski


Others, I've attempted to watch but turned them off less than halfway through because after 45 minutes of viewing I had no interest in the story or characters. These include:

Sin City
Memento
The Shining
The Usual Suspects
(trying to give this one another shot, but so far can only manage 20 minute sessions before falling asleep)

Others I've seen, but when I was way too young to understand them (around 10 years old I think) so obviously I can't review/rank them without another viewing. All I can really remember is that they were disturbing and not enjoyable films. And from what I'm told, they actually are disturbing films even for adults and have a number of really fucked up scenes. So I'm not eager to watch either of them again, and have no plans to do so. These include:

A Clockwork Orange
Schindler's List

Yes. If you like Nolan at all, you'll enjoy The Prestige. If you've never been a fan, this probably won't change your mind.

From the first page, there's only two: Finding Nemo (which I've actually seen but decided against rating as I dozed through it), and Catch Me If You Can (which seemed really dumb from the trailers I remember seeing).
