I've seen more classic movies than most people I know, especially B&W films. And yet I have never seen a particular classic, The Godfather, because it's a gangster, killing macho film ain't it? and those types of movies don't interest me (at least not post-1950, the early gangster films were absurdly comical, thus interesting, not taking themselves so seriously). I decided at some point that indeed I should see it, along with its sequels, from all I've heard from others, though waiting for the right time, on a nice home theatre system or special public showing, to capture it as a cinematic experience for maximum benefit, because if I see it on t.v. I might be likely to shut it off midway and never get to see it in its entirety. |

Me, neither. Nor have I seen the cheap, Frank Capra-directed, Jimmy Stewart-starring remake, It's a Wonderful Life.
Question: is one allowed to be a pretentious, snooty douche over a movie one has never seen? Can I get a ruling on this? |

Honestly, this is the dumbest godd*mn thread topic I can think of. how many weird ass permutations of "so what's your favorite song" are we going to have to through? We've got "movies you've never seen" and "good songs on bad albums." How about we do "song titles that you don't quite remember" and we can write "you give love a bad something something" and "when a man loves a something something" |

Of course she does. Old women like Marlon Brando.  |
