I watched Dr. Strangelove last night and had a big ol' Churchill cigar. Dr. Strangelove is probably the funniest movie I've ever seen bar The Big Lebowski.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Dr. Strangeglove and the Big Lebowski. 2 other movies I need to watch.

Godfather Part III - had not seen any of these till recently, mentioned it to the missus and got the box-set for my b'day, so managed to watch 1+2.

I am a huge fan of Godfather 1 and 2 but don't even bother looking at three. I mean like seriously it ruined it for me for a while. Especially after 2 was better than 1 IMO I was dumbfounded and disappointed in the third. I HONESTLY wish I never watched it.

Yeah for real....2 of the WORST death scenes ever!!! :vd: ....I bet Winona Ryder falls on her knees and thanks God she gave up the female lead in that movie!

I happen to like Winona Ryder, sketchy as she may be I'd give it to her ;D

Yeah, don't get me wrong it is not close to the worst movie ever but it may very well be the most disappointing movie ever when you consider its predecessors.

Re: "Classic" Movies that you've never seen

What I did about 6 months ago, was get a list of the best 100 movies ever made and started watching. At least 1/2 of them were made before 1950 or so. didn't watch them all, still got plenty to go but it gave me a good idea about early cinema.

the other thing I do is watch Turner Classic Movie channel from time to time, late at night when time for bed. have stumbled upon some great movies. to Kill a Mockingbird. 12 Angry men. Casablanca. Even some of the musicals I found amazing. Rhapsody in Blue for eg.

I remember at your age I would watch TCM because of the classic movies. I saw My Fair Lady, Roman Holiday, West Side Story, Citizen Kane, the Good Bad and the Ugly, etc. It really is a great channel.
