Ditto to all the above, and Star Wars.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLl0_mqLtc This collection of Star Wars bloopers will be of little interest to you then. But it might give someone a few chuckles.

As for me, I've gone out of my way to see a lot classics just because they're considered classics, out of an interest in movies and psychology. I can report that Citizen Kane has aged horribly and you'll probably get more of the same out of watching The Social Network instead, Top Gun is unnecessary when you can watch Hot Shots!, The Godfather is okay but mostly if you're a fan of Marlon Brando, and Jaws is like Alien but if you took out 90% of what makes it good and set it on a sunny beach. If you want to watch an old old movie that holds up as one of the greatest comedies ever made, I can heartily recommend Dr Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

Oh God...I feel like I'm the Last Film Geek...I'm kidding.

Honestly, you can skip E.T. Unless you're a HUGE Spielberg fan, it doesn't really hold up that well. I've always been more of a Scorsese kind of guy.

HE'S DIRECTING A FRANK SINATRA BIOPIC I AM FANBOYING SO HARD RIGHT NOW.

I've never seen E.T.

Heresy!!

Heresy!!

I got worse. I've seen it and really don't like it. Only Spielberg film I've ever disliked.

[Bebop Man]

Heresy!!

Don't come talking about heresy to me, you've never seen Pulp Fiction.

[Prospero101]

WHAT?!

Movies, motherfucker, do you watch them?!

[Bebop Man]

What's all this fascination with Oprah Winfrey again?

[Kapol]

I've never seen E.T.

Heresy!!

Don't come talking about heresy to me, you've never seen Pulp Fiction.

To be fair, I've never seen ET either. But then again, I've never seen Star Wars. Or Indiana Jones. Or Scarface. Or The Godfather. Or -insert the movie you love here-. But I HAVE seen Pulp Fiction.

Star wars is an amazing saga (except for the recent films that aren't very good but still), Indiana Jones is ok, the rest I haven't watched. The idea of a film / series focusing on the mafia does not appeal to me. I don't know why, though! I should absolutely give them a chance.

Pulp fiction.... is a difficult one for me, because I just can't stand Tarantino!

[Bebop Man]

Mafia films aren't very sexy, they don't usually have very good female roles and (usually) cater to a male audience.

I'm sure you totally loved Eastern Promises though because VIGGO.

[viscomica]

Hey!!! It was an awesome film, Viggo or not!! He was there and added to the film, though!

[Bebop Man]

He added something alright...

[viscomica]

Well, his character was pretty damn awesome. Also, Naomi Watts and Vincent Casell were amazing

[Bebop Man]

Ah yes, ze proverbial frenchman with ze disgusted look on his face.

[viscomica]

Yeeeeeep, he plays almost always an asshole

[Darkobra]

It's like you want me to hate you all. I mean NOT SEEN TOP GUN?!

[Prospero101]

To be fair, Top Gun does not hold up. At all. Tom Cruise is Shatner-levels of hammage.

[Bebop Man]

I never "got" Top Gun. The air combat went completely over my head, pun not intended.

[viscomica]

I watched Top Gun and did not like it, haha, I never got what all the fuss was about.

[Valkyrie-Lemons]

Typical Polish workman.

Says it'll take him 30 minuets to do a job. Ends up only taking 10 minuets.

[phlip]

It's always a shame when you get fewer musical numbers than you anticipated...

[Prospero101]

Especially when you budgeted for them. Now where the hell is that money going? To the chimney sweeps? The paper boys? The ORPHANS???

[empath]

The roller-skating trains? The feral kitties? The flappers? The togas? The fiddles?


Moving right along:

I'd like to think 'reality' was just another layer of dream in Inception, and Cobb's lying comatose on a cot in Miles' office while he and Mal try to wake the poor university student up after their first experiment...
