Aside from Jurassic Park and maybe Watchmen, I don't really have much interest in seeing these movies for the possibility of enjoying them, but I may see some of them for the sake of witnessing an incredibly popular cultural institution.

AD,

You mean you still haven't seen The Godfather, Part II! I simply can't believe you haven't seen it!

But you will see it eventually, right?

P.S. I like this idea for a list! I might have to clone this in the next few days.

I know, I know. I have no excuse, except that I'm rarely in the mood to watch such a long film no matter how good it is. I certainly do intend to see it eventually. It is my dad's favorite film and I have it at home waiting for me when I decide to see it.

I am currently in the middle of some really intense rehearsals for Ionesco's Rhinoceros. Tonight's the dress rehearsal, and I perform this weekend. After I'm done that, I should have a lot more time on my hands.

Hey, good luck! I really enjoyed reading that play, and would love to see it performed sometime.

Thanks! I think it should be a good show. BTW, I'm playing Botard.

I still haven't seen Private Ryan or Titanic either and I don't plan to see Titanic.(hype,hype,hype)but, you really should go ahead and knock out Shawshank. It's a beautiful movie.

AJDaGreat03/04/2004

Oh, don't worry, I fully intend to soon enough.

As for "Titanic", yeah, I don't plan on seeing that anytime soon. Maybe I will someday, merely as a curiosity. I don't expect to enjoy it.

god ive seen 9 of those and i dont watch too many movies.I Do really think you'll like godfather partII

grandpa_chum01/02/2005

I've seen 7 of those... and i really wouldn't endorse any of them

AJDaGreat01/02/2005

Well, I'm in no rush to see Titanic or Independence Day, but I'll probably see the rest of these eventually. I'll probably even see the other two Lord of the Rings movies, even though I didn't really like the first one.

grandpa_chum01/07/2005

if you didn't like the first i suggest you don't... seeing how the first one was the only decent one of the bunch, imo.

Watchmen is more than worth your time! :)
