I've seen the ones in bold print. Of the ones I haven't seen, 2 (Inception and Clockwork Orange) are waiting on my shelf. The Younger Son says I really must see Aliens at some point (so I probably will). Looper... well, I really meant to see that one, but I don't like stories that depend on time travel, and the movie's time has past for me anyway. Chances of me ever seeing it are small.

Sad but true, I've only seen 21 of those films. To me, Blade Runner is by far the best, and I have to like Wizard of Oz, just because I live near the Yellow Brick Road.
ReplyDeleteBlade Runner & Wizard of Oz are both classic must-see films. There's an actual Yellow Brick Road? Wow!
DeleteI have seen 39 of these, and I don´t mind having missed those 11. As a teenager I would watch anything remotely sci-fi, but now I´m more concerned with a story that appeals to me. There are less and less of those. "The Empire Strikes Back" is probably my all time favourite (it changed my life, after all - I was 13 when I saw that and anything would have changed my life ;-)), but as an adult I´d have to say "Matrix" or "Brazil". "A Clockwork Orange" is also for adults; I see why you put it off, but you´ll be happy you saw it, when you have. "Inception" was kinda cool, but didn´t move me.
ReplyDeleteBrazil (either version) and Matrix are both thought-provoking. I'm surprised there aren't as many film discussion groups as there are book groups.
DeleteI'm strangely more likely to watch movies I run across online than I am to watch ones I have on my DVD rack. I still haven't figured out why that is...
