(22,000 posts)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.

(27,247 posts)And most of them I have seen in airplanes.
By the way, the original Rocky was filmed in 1976.
mockmonkey
(2,964 posts)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.

(27,247 posts)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.

(5,364 posts)That's the problem of "most popular" because I feel like the world is teeming with philistines.
