You did not just say you can't stand Sarah Silverman. She's like my spirit animal, but with bonus points for being from New Hampshire. Is this just payback for me saying Jennifer Lawrence sucks? Also, neither she nor Renee Zellweger are in Chasing Amy - you are probably confusing Renee Zellweger with Joey Lauren Adams, who looks vaguely similar but is actually funny.
Hell, even I need an update of what's on the list. There were about 15-20 movies on the list before you started this thread - it's gotta be at least 50+ by now. I'm fully aware this may take years to accomplish.

I feel like Winter's Bone had so much unfulfilled potential, if only it didn't drag so much, and had a different lead actress. She took me out of the movie in every scene. I saw most of Silver Linings Playbook on the plane out here a few years ago, pretty much the same reaction.
Everyone loves Jennifer Lawrence and hates Anne Hathaway; I am the opposite. I don't hate her, she's just... there. Like beige wallpaper, or the Olive Garden.

You're wrong on Ms Lawrence. I do like Anne Hathaway though if that's any consolation.

It is. And I've been proven wrong on these things before (Leo DiCaprio being a prime example). I am still waiting to see something that changes my view, but every time I've seen her on screen, I just see her, not the character.

That's fair. I think everyone who watches movies with any kind of regularity has some people that they hate for some random reason.
Re: this list, Chopper is a nice choice and one I hadn't thought of. It makes me sad that Eric Bana never took off like I thought he would. Exit Through The Gift Shop is also fine entertainment. I liked it way more than I expected. It is probably worth specifying that you probably mean the original version of Oldboy and not the remake. Speaking of things you hate for random reasons, I hated Slumdog Millionaire. The thing that stuck out to me most was that Dev Patel's general expression really bothered me. Threw the whole movie off for me.

8-10 years ago, I would have put money on Eric Bana being one of the most bankable names in Hollywood by now. It's such a fickle industry though; you have a few years of snoozers like The Other Boleyn Girl and The Time Traveller's Wife, and suddenly you're used goods.
FWIW, I don't necessarily endorse every movie I ask about. I've seen Slumdog 3 or 4 times and have liked it less on each subsequent viewing. It's schmaltzy and predictable, and the premise that every question would relate to an event from his life was tenuous. It's probably second only to Crash as my least favourite Oscar winner of the past 10 years (The Artist is down there too).
We're getting to the point of this thread being "Monie, watch every movie ever.", but I wanted to add Nil By Mouth to the list. It's written and directed by Gary Oldman, and we all know how much I love spirit crushing movies. It's a dark one.

I was about to call it "Jack and Dave talk movies with occasional input from Monie", but yours works better.

See, and it's one of my favorite movies ever. Not too 10 or anything, but surely top 20. And it's one of only a couple on your list that I've seen. (I'll get to the list in a bit)
Haven't read through the thread, but I'm going to mention some classics to me that not too terribly many I know have seen:
*Nashville *Persona *Repulsion Cul De Sac Perfect Blue *La Dolce Vita *Five Easy Pieces *The Last Detail The Ruling Class Y Tu Mama Tambien *Badlands The Game Faces Fanny and Alexander Felini's Satyricon *Paths of Glory The Passenger *The Apartment Scenes From A Marriage *Woman Under The Influence
Stopping with 20 to keep it somewhat reasonable, but these are all at least ****1/2 out of 5 movies to me (most would be in my top 100 favorite films list), with the most "important" titles noted with an asterisk.
I've seen the vast majority of those and they're amazing. We arent all film heathens.
I tried to strike a middle ground there where these were movies that weren't actually obscure, but most casual film viewers probably wouldn't have seen.
And, don't feel bad Monie (not my intent), I hadn't read the thread before my posting, so I just picked stuff I figured hadn't been mentioned yet. Had I read the thread as I now have, I would have chosen some fairly more common titles.
Like "Some Like It Hot", "Chinatown", or "After Hours"?
Videodrome No. Alien Not sure... I know I've seen one of either the Aliens or the Predator movies, but I can't remember which. I know I've seen AVP though. Coffee and Cigarettes No. King of New York No. Detroit Rock City No. Birdman I think so? Is that the recent one where he be cray cray? Mulholland Drive No. Sixteen Candles Yes, though I don't all the hype around this movie or other John Hughes movie.. Run Lola Run No. UHF No. The Rover No. Chopper No. Exit Through the Gift Shop No. Oldboy No. Charlie Wilson's War No. Carlito's Way No. Slumdog MillionaireYes. As established, I love this movie. It is actually one of the few that come to mind that I watched and was like wow, that was damn good when it was over. The Devil's Advocate No. Tombstone No. Grosse Point Blank No.
Bram Stoker's Dracula No.. I had to look up which Dracula this was, I hoped it was the one with Brad Pitt & Kirsten Dunst so that I could get a yes in here, but nope. True Romance Yes. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy No

Yea, you started off with way too much faith in me...
I don't all the hype around this movie or other John Hughes movie..
And with that, I am abandoning all hope (and this thread). Some things just cannot be said.
I didn't say I didn't like those movies, I just don't know why they get so much adoration. I guess maybe they lost their charm on me? I watched them for the first time when I was like 24 or so, maaaaybe 22 if I'm going on the younger side.
When I say this though, I'm really only meaning two (the ones with Molly Ringwald): Sixteen Candles Breakfast Club I haven't seen Pretty In Pink
I looked it up and Ferris Bueller and National Lampoon are both apparently John Hughes movies, as is Miracle on 34th Street (a favorite of mine). Those hold up, those do not count here.
Bram Stoker's Dracula No.. I had to look up which Dracula this was, I hoped it was the one with Brad Pitt & Kirsten Dunst so that I could get a yes in here, but nope.
I don't know what you're referencing. Maybe Interview With The Vampire, which isn't a Dracula movie. Seriously though, you oughta check this one out. Gary Oldman's Dracula is my fave. Francis Ford Coppola directed and it also features Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing, and Tom Waits as Renfield. The cinematography and effects are beautiful and Coppola really crafts a epic love story out of the novel.
This one may be shocking to people.... but I HAVE actually seen this one. My senior thematics teacher played it in class one time. It was one of her favorites.
Bumping this thread bc I just had to explain to my coworkers how I don't watch movies. The conversation started bc someone was talking about Colin Firth and i asked "Do I know who Colin Firth is?"... looked up his bio and yes. I have seen 1 of his several movies.
Me: "Oh, he was in The King's Speech. Who was he in that?" My entire office: ".....The King!?"
Made me laugh that this is such common knowledge about me and yet here I am, still impressing people with how terrible I am.
