[G-men]

ive only seen Casablanca, as part of a class project. i didnt really like it, but ive never really liked any of the "classic" movies.

 

[Goober]

I've seen all of them.

you LIAR!

I have zero interest in seeing spinal tap.
I had no idea what the great escape was.
Im surprised deliverance wasnt on there.

Reservoir I need to see , taxi driver I think I have sitting around somewhere waiting to be seen.

The rest are all worth watching If youve never seen them or havent in along time.

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

I saw Goodfellas after seeing Casino. I thought Casino was so much better.


2001 is a VERY 70s movie. If you cant tolerate slow pacing dont bother. Its insanely slow and utterly bizarre towards the end. Not sure I even "got" wtf the point was. But so many references in sci-fi and pop culture you kinda have to watch it.

2. Casablanca (13 per cent) - Haven't seen it, probably never will.

2001 is definitely an acquired taste. I really liked it, but a lot of it just had to do with how different is was from normal movies.

Why is there so much hate for Spinal Tap in here? It's brilliant.

When you watch old movies like this...the biggest question to me is Did people really talk like that ?.....or is that just the way actors spoke ?

My first viewing was in 2003 or so. I was fine with until that one looooooong stretch of scene where it was nothing but space. Had to FFWD and made me lose my patience. Beginning and end were very good.

All those other movies sound badass or seem "serious". Spinal Tap always hit me as a cheesy movie Jack Black will remake in a few years.

Just watch it. It's a Christopher Guest film, so it's a mockumentary.

It's so wonderful. I wasn't alive at release, but my dad told me that when it came out, so many people thought they were a real band and were confused as to why they'd never heard of them.

It only seems right for all VSNers to want to watch some good trolling.

I've only seen Taxi Driver, Reservoir Dogs, and Goodfellas on this list, although I plan on seeing all of these eventually. My Italian heritage has been questioned many times because I have never seen The Godfather in its entirety.

In my suite at college it has sort of become a running joke to ask me whether I have seen a certain movie or not because I claim to be much more knowledgable than all of them about film, yet I have not seen most classic/popular movies.

I thought this was interesting. I haven't seen The Godfather, Casablanca, or 2001.

Of those I have only seen Blade Runner and that's only because I was forced to for an elective lit class on Phillip K. Dick I took in college.

I want to see The Godfather but most days I don't have nine free hours to commit to watching a movie.

 

[Buzzman]

The Godfather is a fast 3 hours. Finally watched it last month.

 

[FirstTimer]

If I ever have the time I'd love to watch Godfather I and II, Goodfella's and Casino.

I loved Christopher Guest's movie "Waiting for Guffman", hated Best in Show. I might give Spinal Tap a try.

 

[Rivers17ncsu]

Casino was a solid movie, didn't love it, but it was good.
