Has anyone else here never seen an Elizabeth Taylor movie?

[cbdo2007]

I've never seen one. Not really interested in seeing one either.

1. Why shout out one's ignorance?

Not meant as an insult but essentially that is what you are doing. I am not her biggest fan but I have seen her more important movies. I saw them because I consider seeing important movies a part of a well-rounded education and life experience.

I will join you though and proclaim now that I have never seen Hillary Duff or Lindsey Lohan in anything. Someone let me know if they do anything important before they die.

2. haha, 90% of DU shout out their ignorance every day...I guess I was being more direct about it.

I've just never been interested in older movies and can't sit through them. Just not interested.

I think there's just a disconnect in the different generations so when someone super famous dies, many of us just don't understand.

5. Hear! Hear!

:hi:

[seabeyond]

16. preference = ignorance? hm. nt

[Brickbat]

3. I haven't.

:shrug:

[Kali]

4. I don't think I have.

not a big movie person in general. maybe Cleopatra??(was that a movie of hers?)

[Angry Dragon]

11. Yes ......... That is where she hooked up with Burton

[seabeyond]

14. ok, i saw one. lol. nt

[RebelOne]

6. Well, I am old enough to say that I have

probably seen them all, starting with "Black Beauty" when I was a kid,

[Bake]

7. You're missing some good movies.

Just sayin'.

8. you're missing some great entertainment

Most of her films put modern drivel to shame. If you want to see two of the most beautiful people on the planet act their asses off in a movie watch Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. The rest of the cast isn't bad either with Burl Ives as Big Daddy. To this day I think Paul Newman was the greatest actor to ever make films because he did those scenes with Liz wearing just a slip and heels and he never once drooled. If that had been me I would've needed a mop.

9. i don't think i have but i would like to

she was a great human being and did so much as a fighter against AIDS and i really know her best as a humanitarian... her movie star days were before my time, and i'm not a big movie goer to begin with

i've seen short clips, or photos, and it was obvious that she was a strikingly beautiful young woman, but in her case her inner beauty may have actually over shadowed her outer beauty

like, it's seen the butterfield 8 photo of her in the slip, just gorgeous, but this is a rare beauty that we think first of her kind actions instead of just her curves

[Inchworm]

10. Not the ones I've heard mentioned lately

But I did see National Velvet. I didn't even know it was her in it for sure 'til I looked it up :)

:hi:

[triguy46]

12. Ok. Which "Jackass" movie do you think is the best film of all time?

No need to discuss art or acting. Or is it that all the best things ever happened since 2006?

[cbdo2007]

17. Wow, nice irrational generalization there.

Older movies just aren't my thing. I watch tons of movies and have my entire 33 years, but it's a rare case when I go back to watch something before 1975 or so. Though the Wizard of Oz is one of my favorites of all time. And Mary Poppins.

[seabeyond]

13. never saw one. they seem so intense and the weak or bad in people....

i dont know. but none of them drew me to watch. i keep saying, they are classic, i have to watch a couple of them, but never have.

havent seen a james dean movie either

[cbdo2007]

18. Right, I feel like I should watch them because they're classics...

but I just really can't sit there and have any interest.

There are many classics I haven't seen also, no James Dean movies, never seen Gone With The Wind, or Casablanca, or Miracle on 34th Street, or Citizen Kane.

Usually when I do watch older movies I'm disappointed. It's tough to understand the context of what was going on in the world at the time and stuff, so for some reason I just don't "get it". Oh well.

[JonLP24]

22. I'd pass on Citizen Kane

Seen Gone With the Wind (It was alright, I won't sit through it again 'cause it is so long) and Miracle on 34th isn't bad.

Besides that, I totally get what you're saying. I have no desire to watch any of Taylor's movies.

[pitohui]

23. citizen kane a wonderful movie, now i think you guys are pulling my legs

even i a person who has shit to do and never watches movies has seen citizen kane multiple times...it's just stunning

[JonLP24]

25. Maybe I gotta see it again

I swear it is one of worst movies I ever seen. There was this one character that was over-acting. I can't remember the character, he had a very bitter face in some scenes. Maybe if that character wasn't over-acting those scenes it would be better.

That movie actually has me afraid to watch Casablanca which was a movie I was curious to see before I watched Citizen Kane.

[SwampG8r]

27. watch "giant"

james dean and liz taylor aND a damn fine story

[YellowRubberDuckie]

15. National Velvet was the first one I ever saw.

She was breathtaking. She was a classy gal and always a good friend (I hear). She sounds like one amazing woman. I would have liked to have met her.

[Orrex]

19. I love the scene with Dennis Hopper and the nitrous oxide

[underpants]

20. I never have

I really have had no interest in them

A co-worker told me that "A Place in the Sun" was good.

I have also never seen a complete "I Love Lucy". No reason other than there has to be something else to watch.

[JonLP24]

21. Flintstones

I think that's it.

[Joe Fields]

24. None of you have seen Giant? Shame on you.

How old are you people?

[Throd]

26. Not by any choice. It just hasn't happened yet.
