Me neither - I think it would be akin to soft torture for me.
I'm not into fantasy films at all...including The Princess Bride, never got throught that one. Began to watch it and I was the right age group for it and everything and thought it was the stupidest thing ever. I think that turned me off the whole genre. I do love Jacob Two-Two Meets The Hooded Fang (1978) though.
You diss The Wild Bunch you diss yourself. That ending was x20. I can't even imagine what people thought of that when it first came out. The carnage is just off the hook. Definitely worth a watch, and this is coming from someone who isn't that into Westerns.

I only got around to seeing this a couple months ago. It's definitely worth checking out. Obviously, the most iconic scenes have been pop-culture fodder for quite some time and can therefore lose some of their impact, but it's still a good, enjoyable movie.
This kid I went to high school with used two quotes from Point Break as his senior quotes in the yearbook. His third quote came from Young Guns II. I don't think he was being ironic, either.

RIGHT BOOT!!!! (I didn't see Titanic, but I sure as shit can quote Roadhouse).

ha, open your heart and let the Patrick Swayze Christmas in!
I started watching DW Griffith's flicks this year, and while I appreciate 'em on an evolutionary/film historian kinda way, Broken Blossoms is the only one that I could ever see watching again.
Citizen Kane, gets a lot of love cause it changed the game, it practically rewrote the rules. I can see why a modern cinema go'er wouldn't dig it though. But you have to respect it.
Dr. Strangelove is a stone cold classic.(FULLFUCKINGSTOP)

anytime anyone spoked in that movie i laughed.
I'll have to check them when I get home, but I do remember that one of them was, "If you want to have the ultimate, you have to make the ultimate sacrifice."

I have to
But I don't agree with the spots it gets in top xxx lists - it's deceiving to younger fans and takes away from brilliant movies that aren't considered masterpieces by the film elite.

How does it take away? These top whatever lists generally take a rank-by-influence/impact route, so why shouldn't it be on top (or near to it) every time? There's a million other 'underrated gems' lists aspiring film buffs can wade through if their interest is piqued. Between websites, books, p2p + public libraries, it's mainly just a question of interest, not lack of available information and resources.
First time around I watched Citizen Kane i turned it off half way through... was bored I guess. Fast forward a few years later and a lazy rainy sunday afternoon, it came on and I tried watching it again.
Since then I have learned to give many films a second chance.
It irks me though when people diss a film and haven't even seen it (Star Wars for example). Many films have to be taken at face value - personally the only Star Wars film I REALLY like is The Empire Strikes Back.

Me too.
great magazine. love how they do their reviews: complete credits, full summary including spoilers and all, then their criticisms/praises.
Oh well, I have never heard Illmatic and have no intention of doing so....different strokes....

So you don't like rap music, I understand that I guess.
Right. And you don't like cinema. That was easy.

It's more specific then that, it's like saying I like Sci-fi but fuck Star Wars.
