It's A Wonderful Life is simply THE greatest film ever created!! Seriously, it's the best. You guys simply HAVE to watch it, you won't be dissapointed =)

Sadly, I haven't seen a lot of classics...Gone with the Wind is the first that comes to mind. Also Citizen Cane and the Godfather movies. I don't know if these count as "classics" yet, but I have refused to watch any of the Lord of the Rings movies because I simply cannoy stomach that much hype.

Despite the Leslie Howard avatar, I am not really a fan of Gone With The Wind. It has some moments, but overall I think it is one of the most overrated movies ever.

You have to see "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." The best of the Capra movies with Jimmy Stewart even more emotionally satisfying than in "It's a Wonderful Life." And Jean Arthur at her best. A feminist before it was fashionable.

Do yourself a favor and watch all of Capra's movies. You couldn't ask for a better holiday treat. These classic are from a time when movies were made with real actors and not just pretty faces.

I have seen classic movies like "They Saved Hitlers Brain" & "The Terror of Tiny Town" so I guess it evens out in the end

Wow so many Casablanca's here.
For me ...It's On the Waterfront and Tora, Tora Tora.

*picks herself up from floor* Alright, If I read one more post from someone saying they haven't seen Casablanca, I will go mad!

RUN TO THE VIDEO STORE TODAY!!!!

And to those of you who haven't seen Its A Wonderful Life, you aren't missing much. I have always disliked this movie fir some reason.

I guess my classic would be The Godfather.
I know, I know...

Chrysanthemum, get ready to go mad.
I have never seen "Casablanca" either. I've seen parts of "Gone With The Wind" and "The Godfather" but never all the way through.

I have never seen Wuthering Heights. I have read many times but never had the opportunity to see the film.

Oh, I've never seen HIGH NOON or THE SEARCHERS...not big on the Westerns. Love THE WILD BUNCH, tho.

you are all invited to my house for a
Casablanca
GWTW
Godfather

festival!

Borstal -- I am with you on Westerns, so many of the "classics" I have not seen simply because I am not fond of the genre

Never thought of "Tora, Tora, Tora" as a classic but it is a good movie

Casablanca
The Godfather
Gone With the Wind
Citizen Kane

A class movie everyone needs to see: Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.

This thread makes me feel like a nerd. I've seen all of the above, but I was also in a film/culture class in high school. All we did was watch movies, starting with number 100 and going to number 1. (AFI list, btw).

wow so i havent seen any of those movies excpet for Its A Wonderful Life which i saw in a history class a few years ago. so sad, i spend more time in a theatre watching/working on plays and musicals than i do watching tv/movies

>>so sad, i spend more time in a theatre watching/working on plays and musicals than i do watching tv/movies

it's sadder when you do all of the above. in word, this mean i spend my life watching more than participating.
everyone, print out your list of films you haven't seen, put it on your fridge, and make sure you have checked all of them off within the year. film makes your heart smile like this

I had never seen To Kill a Mockingbird until Sunday. Well, I still haven't really seen it because I got distracted and didn't really watch it.

I was in the same boat as most of you. So, I decided to take ALL of AFI's lists and try and watch them. I've done this since the summer. I've seen some really interesting movies. I'm trying to go from 100 to 1.

I just watch Amadeus last night.

The Apartment was really good. The subject matter is pretty racy.

There are A LOT of westerns on the top 100 list, that's why I only do one a week. Also, I try not to watch violent movies so seeing The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, (etc.) is going to be esp.tough but I'm getting people to have already seen these movies to watch with me.

So to answer the above question -- I have still not seen Casablanca or Gone with the Wind but I intend to.
