    How many films on the "1001 Movies to See Before You Die" list have you seen?

    in The Speakeasy

    Posted

     

    So this is a list of films to see before you die and so far, after 2.5 years of using the list and starting at roughly 20-30 films, I've seen... 187 out of 1099 (that's including every film that's been on the list).

    How many of these have you seen?

    Which ones should have been on the list?

    And which ones would you recommend I watch that are also on instant Netflix?

     

    Hope this sparks good discussion - here's the ones I've seen!

    Movies you have cried during

    in The Speakeasy

    Posted · Edited by The Joker

    Films i have cried on.

     

    Bambi- When i was 6 years old. Tears were streaming down my eyes :(

     

    Land before time - 7 years old -I cried during the death scene at the beginning and then i remember going into the toilet and crying my eyes out after i finished watching the whole thing. :(

     

    E.T. - 6 years old - The ending....i couldn't believe he would never see him again.. :(

     

    The Green Mile - Extremely emotional ending. Seeing Tom Hanks with watery eyes looking at the execution was exactly how i felt :(

     

    The Return of the King - My favourite trilogy ever - As Baumer said.....'you bow to know one' = tears :(

     

    King Kong (2005) - When he got shot up by hundreds of bullets and then is just hanging off the edge and you see his sad eyes...Heart wrenching scene. Was on a first date with my Mrs but i didn't care, i shed tears:(

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Films i came close to crying:

     

    titanic- The old couple in bed about to die and the mother putting her kids to sleep. 

     

    The Last Samurai - When the Japanese military captain sees his enemies ( his people) dying from the mini gun and orders them to stop firing...had to hold back my tears. 

     

    Bridge to Terabithia - Transported me back to my childhood to when i saw the classics children movies - Very sad movie.

     

    Never Ending Story - Atreyu horse...his screaming really shook me. Very emotional scene.

     

    Armageddon - Bruce willis' life flashing before his eyes...

     

    Terminator 2- 'I now know why you cry...but it is something i can never do' and then the thumbs up...

     

    Fellowship of the Ring - Boromirs death...everytime i watch it, it still has the same impact for me.

     

    Braveheart - one of the best soundtracks ever helped. 'Freedoooooooooom' and then the final battle scene where the scots charge the english.

     

    Gladiator - 'Honor him'

     

    Lion King - Love between father and son says it all 

     

     

     

     

    OK i think i'll stop now lol, list is getting too long.

    TITANIC scene is the most emotional one in your list.

    It's not a bad sign either...this spin off has a good chance of becoming the highest-grossing entry of the franchise, even though it's been paying the sins of the earlier entries (Last Stand and Origins) in some of the main markets.

     

    First Class regained the prestige among fans and critics, The Wolverine brought back the money. Days of Future Past can only go up from there.

    Actually, the GA is not really anticipated for DoFP.

    thx for the admissions chart J :huglove:

    what about the only 2013 ones??

     

    really wish Chennai express was released here :(

    Chennai Express isn't really good. The only Bollywood movie that I'm looking forward is Dhoom3!

    I wouldn't mind seeing Smurfs 2 as well as I liked the first one too. That said, I think I used up all my sequel credits by taking the other half to see Grown Ups 2 yesterday. Somebody needs to punch Taylor Lautner in the face. Really fucking hard.

    So you are one of those very few people liked TS2! :) Btw Launter should get punched extraordinarily hard!

    The Departed

    Favourite movie of 2006, its one of those long crime films that are re-watchable and never boring, this is why I prefer this and Goodfellas over The Godfather.Ill never understand how Wahlberg was the only cast member to recieve an Oscar nomination from this.A+

    You choose this over The Godfather? Pity. If you compare These two movies, The Departed is nothing.

    The only part I hated was Mother Russia.  She was basically invincible in a world where people are real.  But other than that I liked the film as well.  Chloe and Johnson were awesome and I was really glad to see them exchange a kiss at the end.  

     

    7.5/10

    Huge letdown fromn the Original. 3/10
