Schindler's List is probably the first exposure I had to anything involving the Holocaust. I didn't really understand the conflict or anything like that but I knew I had seen something important.

 

10yr old me seeing the thumbs up and wondering why everyone was crying.

 

All I need to finish Spielberg is Empire of the Sun. All I need to finish Marty is New York, New York.

 

I have seen one of these. I also don’t watch many movies.

 

I have several Spielbergs and a few Marty’s to watch.

 

I need to watch Color of Money. It's joked about here and I never get it

 

I'm pretty happy about having 19 of Billy Wilder's 26. Gonna try and finish as many of them as I can this summer.

 

I'm on zero, should I just start with Sunset Boulevard?

 

One of my private lists on letterboxd is just all of the massively acclaimed movies I’ve never seen - there’s a little over 30 of them on there currently and I’m thinking about just bangin through em all this summer haha. Just having a real crazy month

 

Don't give him the satisfaction.

 

Color of money is good.

 

My wife hasn't seen any Star Wars or LotR movies and I still can't figure out how to ease her into them. We've been married four years now

 

yall really posted tonight. nfl draft mentality from geeks who only like movies (respectfully)

 

If you want drama, that or Double Indemnity. If you want comedy, The Apartment or Some Like It Hot. If you want one of the best rom-coms ever, Sabrina. Dude made so many straight-up classics.

Edit: I don't mean to be unhelpful. It's just genuinely hard to choose. It's like picking the best Beatles album for someone to start with.

 

I’ve never seen it and only just saw the godfather a couple months ago the shining a couple years ago

 

Late ‘90s Bruckheimer was so good. “Gone In 60 Seconds,” “The Rock,” “Armageddon,” “Con Air,” “Coyote Ugly” - all dumb as hell with stacked casts. Feel like “Enemy of the State” was the crescendo then “Pirates of the Caribbean” was a hit and he was like “Let’s just make a bunch of those.”

 

The most popular films on Letterboxd I haven't seen are Don't Look Up, The Devil Wears Prada, Wonka and Bohemian Rhapsody.

 

I've seen Titanic

 

Thinking about directors that I have seen every film from, my go to is PTA. Even with Spielberg, Scorsese, or Kubrick I have some blind spots

 

There are a lot of working directors I have seen every film from, but as far as completed filmographies it is probably just Kubrick and Tarkovsky. I have seen every Scorsese but I really need to watch Last Temptation of Christ and Age of Innocence again to see what I did not appreciate the first time.

 

Kundun is the only Scorsese feature I haven’t seen. I found the DVD at a thrift store recently but haven’t screened it yet.

 

Chris Moltisanti loved it.

 

It is beautiful and the best scene Cameron has ever made. Sarah Connor shaking his hand and coming to terms with her earlier trauma, John realizing it has to be done and symbolically transitioning from a child to a man, and the Terminator showing how much he has learned. It is such a fantastic ending to the series, which is a big part of why the sequels never work. Blowing away John Connor in the first two minutes of Dark Fate is like spitting on the films.

 

Guys, just go watch Balls of Fury. Then you'll understand cinema.
