27 with none what-so-ever before '68.

Ah, the Logan's Run approach to film-watching...

I remember the short-lived TV series spin-off to that.

Hold on ... you've never seen:

Gone with the Wind
Casablanca
From Here to Eternity
Marty
Around the World in 80 Days
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Ben-Hur
West Side Story
Lawrence of Arabia
My Fair Lady
The Sound of Music
A Man for All Seasons

... now, I know some of those are , but you probably watched them when you had no choice, as with some modern turkeys like Titanic, etc.

No. None of them.

I don't get it.

I've seen 75! I have been around longer than most of you mind. Also, I should get out more..

I kind of guessed you wouldn't. Another great film IMHO: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074812/

Well, anything that wins the "Best Picture" Oscar is likely to get a lot of showings on TV. I'm a bit surprised that many of us haven't seen more than we have TBH.

Fighting urge to drone on about the beauties of obscure silent films....

Yes, I agree... though some of the supposed bests are rather choices, in my opinion.

Why are you Picarding me?
I've seen bits and bobs of most of them as a child and know a bit about the others through osmosis alone, but I was never the type of kid you could make watch something. If I didn't want to watch something I'd simply go off to my room and play with my Legos. When I was a child I usually wouldn't watch something unless it was a cartoon and getting me to watch black 'n' white was impossible.

What about the foreign language Oscar-films?

I love:
1996 "Kolya"
1956 "La Strada" (Oh, the soundtrack is heavenly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtD1PVkY-pg)

How would you know unless you'd seen them?



Seriously, even extending the list to nominated pictures would still leave out tons of great flicks.

As I recall, that was not an option open to me when I was forced to watch Oklahoma!

This explains so, so much.

I have seen some that I wouldn't rank as 'best' is all I mean. 'Broadway Melody' is fun but hardly a best in my view, for example...

By a group of nuns no less ... and we had to pretend we enjoyed it.

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow ...

Bahaha, I love Oklahoma!

I'm so gay for musicals in general though.
