:think:
You mean Doctor Strangelove. One of my all time favorites, actually! (So maybe you should skip it! :mrgreen: )

Dr. Zhivago kinda sucked. IMHO. Julie Christie is very pretty, but has bad hair. Weird beehive makes Russia look like place Cpt. Kirk would visit...

A few years ago I put the 1998 AFI best 100 movies in chronological order and watched them all over a period of several months. It's a good lesson in film history.

I've seen the crossed-out movies, but not of the others - at least not in their entireties.

Also never seen of any of the movies in any of these franchises:

The Matrix
X-Men
Men in Black
Batman
Mission Impossible

Ah, yeah. I tried to watch an X-men movie several months ago, but deleted it after about 20 minutes, iirc. Haven't seen any of the Bat/Super/Spiderman films, but I may have seen the first TC M.I. several years ago. Not sure.

klr, the first MIB was worth watching, imo. :tup:

I'm embarrassingly deficient in Hitchcock. And no need to :pardon: for not sticking with Titanic through to the end. I was forced by a former girlfriend to. :|~

I've always been convinced that The Who were secretly doing a parody of a parody album when the did that movie.

Always play Tommy James and Shondells before watching that movie.

Just finished it. Skipped over the boring parts. That made the movie about 20 minutes long. :yawn:

Modern Times (1936)
