Girls, let's not argue over semantics. Perhaps I should have titled the thread "Masterpieces of cinema which you have never seen," but I didn't think anyone would be so anal as to care. First time I've been wrong in a long while.

Gone With The Wind.
Seen bits of it, turned on the TV, thought," I should really watch this", and then remembered Buffy was on the other channel.
It's A Wonderful Life.
No rush. Save for some future depression.
North By North West.
Really want to see that.

Thats about all that comes to mind, but that's just becaues 2 of them have already been mentioned. Sure there's still plenty. Something by Jean Renoir thats name I can't rememeber. Shrug

I have physically seen the Godfather movies, but didn't have the concentration/capacity for tedium to grasp them fully. Very pompous those things. When a movie about the Mafia is more difficult to follow than an essay by Hegel, you know it's needlessly difficult.

Gone with the wind. 4 hours long? I'd get arse-ache!

Ben Hur. It's about a car or something. Wow! Not interested.

Clockwork Orange. Didn't like the sound of the sadistic nature of the plot when described to me.

Deer Hunter and Raging Bull - two 'classic' De Niro movies I'd probably get bored of after 20 minutes and give up on - I've never seen either.

I f***ing hate movie buffs, to be quite honest.

The Mosquito Coast

[happeningthang]

Here's a torrent site for to hard to find "classics" - click on 'genre filter'

http://www.secret-cinema.com/index.php

There's another one on Pirate Bay

"Freakyflicks" or something like that, just search in the PB site.

memo to self: Do not go to movies w/ Spinoza or Beej.

[blaseblasphemener]

Even Harrison Ford would laugh at Mosquito Coast being called a Classic.

Story: When Francis Ford Coppola was making the Godfather, which he basically did for the money, he was filming a scene in the cemetary. It was getting dark, and they were on a tight budget, and they had to wrap and move on to another scene. One of the actors, maybe Duvall or Pacino, remembers that Coppola was so distraught at not being able to finish the scene to his liking that he wept. That's passion. If you think the Godfather is pretentious, you don't get it. It's a great story, but it's certainly not pretentious.

[happeningthang]

I can appreciate that Coppola was very committed to making his film, then again I've heard that Russ Myers got excited over his films too. A few tears isn't going to make it a great movie, or any less tedious.
