It was one of those movies my dad would always watch on cable, but whenever I got around to it, I’d always catch the tail-end of the movie. I’m not in as much of a rush to watch it as other great films I’ve put on the backburner for later like Heat, Eraserhead, or Moonlight, but it is one I probably owe myself to watching someday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distinct Lunatic Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 1 hour ago, resurrected said: Whoa. Dude. Ghostbusters movies are the shit. Indiana Jones movies are awesome, except the last one. That was a total piece of shit. I liked the new Blade Runner, but not the first one. The original Batman movies are my favorite out of all of them. Michael Keaton was bad ass. As for Ghostbusters I've been meaning to watch the first one for a long while now but haven't had the interest to do so yet. Also I'm not really much of a Harrison Ford fan and have no interest in Indiana Jones. Blade Runner interests me more. Honestly when it comes to old movies unless they're something I've seen in the past I'm very unlikely to watch them. I love Back to the Future but that's an example of an old movie where if it wasn't for the fact that I've seen it long ago I don't think I'd watch in present day if I haven't of already seen it. Same thing for old games and anime, unless it's something that I had an interest in then I'm very unlikely to ever look into them because older stuff doesn't interest me the same way anymore.

Apart from decorating the house, and seeing the boy's reaction to his presents, I'm a Grinch, so Christmas movies do nothing for me anymore. I don't watch them. I don't sing the songs. And this year, apart from getting the boy his presents and decorating the house, I'm not celebrating it this year. So, I guess that's why the movie is just meh to me.

Doom Metal Alchemist Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Titanic The Matrix Braveheart Literally all the Harry Potter movies Basically any horror movie ever made EXCEPT: Night of the Living dead (original and 80s remake) Halloween (original) and one of the other Halloween movies, H20, I think? Finding Nemo Shrek (any) Any Toy Story after the first one The Lion King Any movie that has Minions in it Jaws There's got to be countless more, including ones that have also already been named in this thread, but I think a lot of people are taking too much liberty with the word "everyone" in "Movies everyone has seen." The original Star Trek movies? That's nerd shit. Nothing wrong with nerd shit, but "normies" don't watch that shit, meaning they're hardly movies "everyone" has seen.

I was actually kind of confused as to why it became so popular. Even though I've never seen it, I can give you several serious reasons: The appeal wasn't the plot of what happens to the ship, it is the tragic romance between Leo's character and Kate Winslet's character. It was hyped as featuring a real life surviver of the Titanic, which was a huge selling point. All the little girlies loved Leo because he was "sooooooooooooooooooooo cute." (This movie's hype was the first I ever heard of him and it amazes me how he grew to be a serious, credible actor popular with, well, pretty much everybody) That stupid Celine Dion (cover) song that was massively popular probably helped propel it too. Oh yeah, quotable quotes: "I'm king of the world!" And didn't "Draw me like one of your French girls" come from Titanic too?

Leo was in several movies before Titanic, but this role really put him on the map. I didn't like the movie at all. The only thing I liked was the recreation of the ship. It didn't need a three hour fictional love story. It could have been done based on the true events. There were some very well-to-do folks on that ship. We could have gotten some back stories on those folks. Lead up to them boarding the ship. Give a little insight to the different classes on the ship, then sink it. That would have been a lot better than the shit James Cameron thought was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might see "Psycho" as a Suspense movie - others as a Horror movie. I probably mentioned this before here or [asmb] but I saw the original "Friday the 13th" at a theater. A friend had built it up into this really scary movie and we took some girls from work with us. Before the first killing, I saw the friend start to cover his ears (anticipating the screams), I saw how bad the graphics of the murder were (I think it was an arrow through the throat) I laughed and yelled out "Rock and Roll!". A black guy a couple rows up yelled out "That's Right!" and a bunch of people laughed. After that, I don't think anyone thought the movie was scary.
