    Watch Gangs of new York its brilliant. Daniel Day-Lewis is as good as actors get!

    No kidding, he is awesome! Amazing in Last of the Mohicans (although I seriously can't watch the cliff scene because it's sooo sad!)

    Love Daniel Day-Lewis in this movie, makes me wish I had a glass eye so I could tap a knife against it while making a point... He's a BAMF

    Lol!! I totally am so happy I'm not alone.... I haven't seen any movie basically that isn't a kids movie. When me and my husband go to the movie theater we deliberately go to the children's movies because we love the Pixar type stuff. Plus I cannot watch anything gory at all... I end up missing most of the movie lol. I also can say I have the WORST time when it comes to actor/actresses. When people say their names they go over my head... even famous music people. I just don't get the point in memorizing them all or obsessing over their lives. Really blows my mind what people can recall from random articles in the news. I don't even know politicians now that I think about it. Probably not a good thing but oh well! My life is good so I'm not changing a thing. =P

    Never watched the whole titanic movie.. just a part of it. >:o

    I am ashamed that I have seen the whole thing... Granted I was 15 and was trying to impress a girl.

    Lol! You picked the wrong girl! When it came out I absolutely refused to go see it!

    Seems I've made habit of that ;)

    Oh no! Lol

    Avatar and Inception,

    although I am not ashamed to admit not having watched them.. are those even considered iconic/epic?

    I'm in college, and all of my friends are appalled! I think this might be changing soon :D

    To the poster above me: I normally hate movies like the Godfather, but the Godfather Parts 1 and 2 were absolutely amazing. Worth a watch in my book.
    The lion king!

    Apparently this offends people! I get alot of abuse for it from my friends so that now I make a poin to deliberately not watch it :-)

    hahaha i tried to avoid watching it too! but we had to watch it for class and write a paper on it so I was forced to watch it.
    I also forgot Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, never seen 'em.

    I have to admit, I'm a HUGE Disney fan here. Just suck it up and watch The Lion King, it's awesome!

    Avatar and Inception,

    although I am not ashamed to admit not having watched them.. are those even considered iconic/epic?

    At this point I wouldn't consider supporting either one as iconic/epic even though Disney is going to be building an 'Avatar world' in Animal Kingdom (huge Disney fan here, and don't think I fully support this, lol).

    I would say that Inception is an awesome movie though!

    And personally, I found Avatar way too preachy.

    Braveheart (90s version of Avatar)

    negative. the 90's version of Avatar is Dances with Wolves.
    Yup, you're right. That's the one I meant. I haven't seen Dances with Wolves. I actually have seen Braveheart.

    I haven't seen The Little Mermaid. Apparently it's a classic for my age group!

    Don't know your age group but if it's anywhere close to mine then YES it is a classic! As are Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. I love them all!!
  • Ok, spill. What are the movies you know you HAVE to see but have just never gotten around too? I'm guilty of a bunch!

    Schindler's List
    Saving Private Ryan
    Lawrence of Arabia
    Rocky (any of them)
    Gone with the Wind
    Casablanca




    oh, and Titanic I suppose, although I don't really count that since I absolutely REFUSED to watch it!! lol



    I heard they're re-releasing Titanic in the movie theater in 3D.

    I've seen Return of the Jedi...but I always fall asleep during the other Star Wars films. My 3 brothers might disown me if they knew.

    Never seen The Godfather. Or Casablanca.

    Star Wars (any)
    Star Trek (any)
    Godfather
    Rocky

    I know there's a ton more but can't think of them. My fiance and I have this conversation at least once a month, he insists I grew up sheltered. I was too busy on the boat to be watching movies!! My future father in law says that I have to watch either the Star Wars series or the Star Trek series before I'm allowed to marry his son. Oh, and we have all of them, I've just never bothered.

    Oh! Back to the future! I've only seen the first one, and only because when he found out I hadn't seen it he drove to the store to buy it.

    I heard that too. My friend told me about it, she LOVES Titanic, and asked if I wanted to go. I told her I'm NOT into it. She asked if she payed me to go with her would I......I said maybe! lol
