3. You have to make a point to see that movie. It is great.

I have seen that one and can speak to it. Although I have seen many clips on TV, there is still much missing. Is McCain nuts?

9. Citizen Kane
Don't waste your time watching it on TV. See it in a theater. It's an entirely different experience.

2. Titanic... the feel-good movie of the decade
romance on the high seas! Never saw a frame of it, but I just know I'd love it to pieces.

4. You've probably heard the title song. That's enough.

5. I hope the magentism of the two leads doesn't sink it
I'd hate to think their presence just brought the Titanic down.

10. only 2 movies I've ever walked out of...
Total Recall and True Lies.

Both of these exits predate Arnie's political career, so I guess it's just that he's a lousy actor.

13. The Sting, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Rocky, and Titanic
Not necessarily great films, but certainly all huge moneymakers.

17. I'm so embarassed to admit this.
Edited on Tue Aug-31-04 03:21 AM by Dem2theMax
I've never seen Casablanca! And I have it on video. Bought it years ago and have never taken the wrapping off of it. :shrug:

On edit: What makes it even worse - I've literally been through Casablanca, by train - dumb to not get off and see the sights huh?
