OK I am back to being able to watch movies... my brother is at rest, my stress level is lowering. But I don't feel up to continuing the earlier marathon with so little time left in the month, I want to try to watch all these films within the year 2018. Some will be re-watches. Some of which I already know I do not like... but will watch again anyway. Wish me luck... I should be able to do this all within a year...though many of them are not in my collection as of yet.

My Thoughts:

While a bit longer then I am used to... I found this to be a good story. It was able to keep my interest easily. I was never much of a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio... but I found him to be good in this one. Worth while if you ever feel up to a longer film.

[Pete Battista]

I've seen 90 of these.

I am no where near 90.... if I am lucky I might have seen about half of them.... and then many of those not in many years.

 

[Colin Jacobson]

I've seen 90 of these.

I'm at 97 - everything but "Bells of St. Mary's", "Love Story" and "Smokey and the Bandit"!

 

[TravisR]

You got me beat by one (I haven't seen The Robe, Around The World In 80 Days, The Bells Of St. Mary's and The Greatest Show On Earth). Just my opinion but you're not missing much by having not seen Love Story or Smokey.

Disagree about Smokey. Lots of fun.

 

[Robert Crawford]

I've seen them all and each and every one of them has something of value to offer in my opinion.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Disagree about Smokey. Lots of fun.

I'm of the age in which young guys in 1977, dream't of having a Trans-Am.

 

[TravisR]

I was going to say that I saw the movie when it was more like a late 70's time capsule and probably anyone who was alive at that time would respond to it more positively than I did.

 

[Colin Jacobson]

Disagree about Smokey. Lots of fun.

Well, if YOU like it, clearly I'll love it!

I don't know why I never saw "Smokey and the Bandit". I was 10 in 1977, so I wasn't outside of its audience...

 

[Josh Steinberg]

I've seen all but ten of these. I don't want to admit which ten not because I'm ashamed of not seeing them, but because there are a few I have seen that I don't want to admit to

 

[Tino]

I’ve seen 95.

 

[Pete Battista]

Smokey and the Bandit was one of my favorites growing up.... loved it, Just hope it holds up after all this time.

 

[BobO'Link]

I've seen 96 of them.

I've not seen: Titanic (1997), The Sixth Sense (1999), Beauty and the Beast (2017), or Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009). I have no burning desire to see any of those.

Of the 96 I have seen there are 25 I don't like. No, Smokey and the Bandit is not in that group.

 

[Pete Battista]

Ever have one of those days... no matter how long you stare at the list you have no idea what you feel like watching?

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Ever have one of those days... no matter how long you stare at the list you have no idea what you feel like watching?

I once spent longer than the length of a movie trying to decide, until I only had enough time left to watch a Star Trek rerun and head to bed.

Ok, maybe more than once.

I count 12 I haven't seen, most of them fairly recent (21st century) blockbusters. The only two pre-21st century titles on the list I haven't seen are ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and MRS. DOUBTFIRE.

Ha. Two films with a common theme!
