Just 1 Movie (1 Viewer)

[Brian Kissinger]

OK, I started something at work, and Steve threw down the gauntlet. So here we go.

You can watch just one movie for ever more. Just one. Of the following, which would you pick?


The Princess Bride

The Third Man

Lawrence of Arabia

The Apartment

Amelie

Children of Paradise

Miller's Crossing

Vertigo


Please choose from one of the movies on this list. Feel free to put which movie you'd pick if it isn't on this list as well.

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

Do I need to answer that question?
See my signature if you're still clueless!

 

[Steve Christou]

Well this is a worst case scenario sort of thing, but from that list it would have to be Lawrence of Arabia for me.
Amelie I haven't seen yet, and quite frankly not that interested in it (sorry Steeeeve), but Vertigo mmmm nice.
Ben-Hur is my favorite movie, so I would prob pick that as an alternative to Lawrence, from recent films I wouldn't mind being stuck with the Lord of the Rings trilogy for ever more (quoth the Raven "nevermore").

 

[Steve Enemark]

From your list, I'd pick Vertigo. However, given a choice from any movie, I'd pick The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

 

[Nick Sievers]

From that list I would pick Vertigo but my pick would be Pulp Fiction. Of course i'm glad I never have to make the decision for real.

Amelie I haven't seen yet, and quite frankly not that interested in it (sorry Steeeeve)

Hey, it's your lost. Although, I cannot understand why someone wouldn't be interested in seeing a film that has received so much praise.

....and a really cute girl

 

[Rich Romero]

Of the list I'd take Lawrence of Arabia but if I owned the upcoming Anchor Bay Dawn of the Dead set with all 3 versions I'd only watch that.

 

[ErikG]

From the list: Lawrence of Arabia
My personal choice: Fast Times at Ridgemont High

 

[SteveGon]

The Third Man of course.

 

[Cary T]

From the list I'd choose Amelie
Amelie is in my personal top 10 list, so outside of a list I'd consider it as well.

 

[JessV]

From the list: The Princess Bride.
Outside the list: either Pulp Fiction or All About Eve

 

[Bruce Hedtke]

List: The Apartment

Wish: Heathers

Bruce

 

[Matt Pelham]

From the list: The Third Man
my own choice: Pulp Fiction

 

[Brook K]

From the list: Children of Paradise
Personally: Ikiru, while Taxi Driver is my favorite movie, if it was the only one I ever watched, I'd probably kill myself within a few months.

 

[Travis Olson]

List: Miller's Crossing

My choice: A.I. Artificial Intelligence

I haven't seen Amelie yet either. The only thing that is holding me back is the fact that I don't speak French and I'll be damned if I'm going to read subtitles, it totally ruins the experience for me. So I guess it's my lost, too.

 

[MichaelAW]

I'd take Vertigo from that list, and maybe Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, elsewise. After all, if I've seen a film 100 times and aren't bored with it yet, I think I can live the rest of my life only seeing that one.

 

[Paul_D]

I'd take The Apartment AND Vertigo and then run away so nobody could catch me.

 

[Jeff_A]

List: Miller's Crossing followed closely by The Third Man.

Mine: The Godfather

I cannot understand why someone wouldn't be interested in seeing a film that has received so much praise.

I usually avoid European films like the plague, the only foreign language films I'm really interested in are Hong Kong and Japanese.
A friend of mine had lent me a dvd of Amelie a few months ago, which I had on my shelf for a month, I just couldn't work up interest to see it, I asked Sandra... nope, well I gave it back to my friend telling him we had both enjoyed it.
