1. 53

I need to hit the video store...

[flvegan]

2. 15.

[Tikki]

41. 16.

[Aristus]

3. 34.

Most of the good ones (1984, Dark City, Blade Runner), and a few of the bad ones (Death Race 2000, Darkman.)

[blogslut]

22. Me too!

However, I thought Darkman was fun. :)

[Aristus]

58. It was interesting. But I thought Liam Neeson was lowering himself in a film with

such a poor script. (This was years before "The Phantom Menace.") But it was interesting to see Frances McDormand cast in an ingenue role.

[Graybeard]

4. Only 41.

I thought I would do better since I really like the genre. District 9 is in my Netflix queue. That list will now get longer.

[NoPasaran]

5. 11

[tblue]

76. Me, too.

[tonysam]

6. None

I prefer much older films such as the classics from Hollywood's Golden Age.

[CBHagman]

8. Yay!

I like the way you think...


For those who are keeping score, I've seen four of the movies listed above.

[dysfunctional press]

24. how do you know you don't like them if you haven't seen them?

:shrug:

[leeroysphitz]

46. She just knows. n/t

[yawnmaster]

69. you don't have to taste brussel sprouts to know one won't like them...

same with the new fangled films.

[tonysam]

75. I said I prefer films from other eras.

I've seen some recent movies, including an independent film my nephew has made and is circulating it around to various film festivals around the country, but I have no desire to see any of the films on the list.

Unremembered

Trailer for Unremembered

[BuelahWitch]

60. I like the way you think too!

:hi: The only one I've seen is Idiocracy.

[Iggo]

7. 41.

[denbot]

9. 24, could have been more if not for the Director's Cut designation.

There are a dozen on your list I intended to see.

[Kaleva]

10. 23

[TCJ70]

11. 20...

...I've got some movies to watch...

[Kali]

12. 24

I'm kind of surprised, I never watch anything anymore.

[Doc_Technical]

13. 26

I've seen more movies than I thoght I have.
Most of these were seen on television.

[applegrove]

14. Only 10.

[tigereye]

15. 22

[quakerboy]

16. 19

maybe 21, 2 that I am unsure of, probably only saw snippits of them.

only a couple would I ever consider watching a second time.

[begin_within]

17. 12

Aliens (1986), The Terminator (1984), Sleeper (1973), Repo Man (1984), Alien (1979), Liquid Sky (1983), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) - could not finish that, A Clockwork Orange (1971), The Matrix (1999), The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976), Total Recall (1990), Dark City (1998) and Conan the Barbarian (1982)

[bluesbassman]

18. 33. I was able to see Blade Runner on the big screen last summer.

Our local theater was doing Flashback Thursdays. Had watched it several time on tape and DVD, but for some reason I had missed it at the theater when it first came out. Very cool to get to see it on the big screen.

Also got to see The Fifth Element like that. Kinda surprised that wasn't on the list too.

[dysfunctional press]

26. the fifth element wasn't rated "R".

it was pg-13.

[pokerfan]

28. Oh, how I wished that The Fifth Element was R

(Milla Jovovich)

:hide:

[Rabrrrrrr]

77. or X!

Hubba frakkin' hubba

[rebel with a cause]

27. Probably around 31.

some are sketchy.

[LostInAnomie]

29. 23

[Kat45]

30. 10, which is pretty good since it's not a favorite genre

:shrug:

[AllenVanAllen]

31. 52

I've yet to see Children of Men, District B13, Moon, Seconds,
Delicatessen, Pi, 2046 and Slaughter House Five. I've heard good about Moon and Slaughter House Five.

[proteus_lives]

32. 38.

I'd suggest for people:

Repo Man

The Thing

Robocop

Darkman

A Boy and His Dog

Escape from New York

Predator

The Road Warrior

Sci-Fi/Horror/Fantasy for life!

[nuxvomica]

33. I've missed maybe five or six of them

I haven't seen Moon, Delicatessen, 2046, Open Your Eyes, Dark City, or anything beyond the first 20 minutes of The Science of Sleep.

[CBGLuthier]

34. 53 of them and have heard of all of them.

Just have not seen a few yet. And I have no plans to ever see the Matrix sequels.

Of the ones many may not know, Seconds is possibly the best on the list. Highly recommend that movie. Rock Hudson's finest performance.

I will be seeing Moon and District 9 within a few months. Hoping to get a blue ray player first.

[MissMillie]

35. seven

I don't watch many movies.

[GoCubsGo]

36. 10.3

Got bored with "The Matrix Reloaded" and turned it off after about a half hour.

[Deep13]

37. 27

[Tuesday Afternoon]

38. most of them. please don't make me count before caffeine.

:donut:

[bigwillq]

39. 17

Not a huge sci-fi fan

[femmocrat]

40. Two.

Alien and The Fly. I never even heard of most of them.

But I saw The Sword and the Stone-- does that count?

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

42. 36

some I show in my film class

[surrealAmerican]

43. Probably more than half.

I can never remember weather the dvd or video tape I've seen five years or so ago was the "directors cut" or not, so I'm not sure.

[bikebloke]

44. 38

What do I win? :)

[leeroysphitz]

45. A Clockwork Orange was rated R?

[dysfunctional press]

49. it is now.

rating standards have changed somewhat since it was originally released as an 'X'.

[leeroysphitz]

47. 53

I did download a copy of Moon to watch but when I saw that guy who stars in it I decided to pass. (I don't like that guy, he rubs me the wrong way.)

[Roon]

48. Zero

I don't do movies. :-)

[MotorCityMan]

50. Excalibur! The sword of power!

Loved that movie.

Have seen 33 on the list.

[jobycom]

51. 25. Saw parts of 11 others, but couldn't finish them for various reasons.

The reasons ranging from not liking them to being interrupted for other reasons.

[myrna minx]

52. All but 5. I'm surprised that Stalker isn't on this list.

[Mendocino]

53. 2

[taterguy]

54. Altered States was a documentary, not SciFi

[AllenVanAllen]

56. "Altered States" a documentary?

Are you sure?

[BuelahWitch]

61. So was Idiocracy!

:rofl:

[AllenVanAllen]

68. !

:hi:

[BuelahWitch]

71. Reality TV is only a few steps away from "Ow My Balls!"

[AllenVanAllen]

[JTG of the PRB]

59. 16.

Not bad, but there are lots on that list that I really do need to see.

[rcrush]

62. not as much as I should

A lot of those are movies I keep wanting to see but never manage to get around to it. I just finally saw Slaughterhouse Five for the first time a year ago!

I think I'm at 17. But I dont remember T3 being rated R?

[rcrush]

63. Southland Tales should be on that list!

[trackfan]

64. 1

Sleeper

[Jkid]

65. 15

[AbbeyRoad]

66. 27, I think

[REP]

70. All but 6, and I have one of them recorded.

[PVnRT]

72. 23

And, once again, I have to point out my distaste for lumping fantasy and science fiction into a single category.

[Orsino]

73. 27. And I can't believe that Sword and the Sorceror is on anyone's top-rated list.

It's a stinker, and not really funny enough to be much fun.

[Glorfindel]

74. 45

n/t

[bamacrat]

78. 16.

[krispos42]
