The other was Flight of the Navigator.

I've seen all of the others, some multiple times.

Exactly two-thirds of them. I would say there are 3-4 additional ones that I can't remember if I saw or not. There was one movie on the list I went to see with my mom and we walked out of....Casino.

And most of them I have seen in airplanes.

By the way, the original Rocky was filmed in 1976.

I don't remember what class that was for. It was odd that they included it on this list.

I also saw "Tommy" for a High School field trip. I think that was for Art class. The 70's was a weird decade.

The oddest movie I ever saw on a high school field trip was "Los Gitanos", a Spanish movie about a band of gypsies, one of whom is stabbed and exclaims, in dubbed English, "I have a hole in my stomach".

The '70s were definitely weird.

That's the problem of "most popular" because I feel like the world is teeming with philistines.

I may have seen a few more but if they weren't that memorable, it doesn't matter.

So far I've avoided Wall Street, Neverending Story, and I can't remember what the third one was.

Hey! I can be governor of Texas!
