    I’m the one who never sees movies, but I’ve seen all of those except #4. We bought the DVD but haven’t watched it yet. I haven’t seen Click and it’s supposed to be really good :)

    My lord, girl. Looks like someone needs to have some movie marathon weekends. You have to at least see 1, 3, 6, 7, 9 and the 10s.

    I’d go for the Tom Hanks weekend: 1, 3 and 9.
    Then I’d go rent all three Matrix movies to watch in chronological order.
    Then grab Shrek and Dumb and Dumber to watch after Crash.

    I’ve seen them all. Many times. it’s kind of sad. I make a point of going to see movies, so I can’t think of one that I haven’t seen that everyone else has. But I know that I’ve not yet seen “The Last King of Scotland”

  10. Cathie Says:

    As much as I love movies, I guess am too picky about them. So there are MANY I have not seen that others go on and on about. I don’t like DUMB comedies, testosterone driven flicks, most sci-fi flicks or anything that is psycho-violent, ala Silence of the Lambs, et al. SO the list would go on forEVER.

    1. Gladiator
    2. Braveheart
    3. Top Gun
    4. Search for the Holy Grail
