Top 5 Movies You Love …. Never ….
- Thread starter TTKADawg
- Start date
Lawrence of Arabia is one of my all time favorites, although I’ve never seen it on the big screen.
Similar story. Balcony of the old Lyric in downtown Tupelo. My mom and a friend's mom took us.
Literally one of the best movies ever made, IMO......first time I saw it, I was livid with everyone in theater laughing at Forest......I was like, obvious it's about a re^ard and his struggles in life, and man all you people are just horrible......... then I realized, it was comedy w/ life mixed in well, and really a great movie that entertains the whole way through. See it.
***I have never seen Napoleon Dynamite
1. The Departed
2. In Bruges
3. The Wolf of Wall Street
4. True Romance
5. Snatch
I personally think that The Departed is the greatest movie I ever seen but my personal favorite is True Romance. I can pretty much quote that whole movie. Tarantino's first script ever written. Tony Scott directed it.

The Departed is really good. And it’s one of those that is kind of weird in terms of reputation because of where it fell in the careers of everyone involved (eg, everyone had major, career defining roles/films ahead of it). I saw it in theaters so wasn’t eligible for me to list
The Searchers is great; didn’t make my 5 but would’ve made my 10
One thing this thread is good for is pointing out just how 17-ing old I'm getting.
My personal favorites I never got to see in the theater:
1. The Jerk
2. Animal House
3. The Wizard of Oz
4. Fight Club
5. Smokey and the Bandit (I saw parts 2 and 3 in the theater).

No Country for Old Men is good but I saw it in theaters. Same with LOTR. Same year as No Country for Old Men was There Will Be Blood (also saw in theaters) and Michael Clayton (watched on DVD). Michael Clayton isn’t the type of movie I’d die to see in theaters, but it is extremely underrated and one of my top 25 all time. Got overshadowed by No Country and There Will Be Blood
Saw in the theatre
Star Wars
Raiders
Godfather 2
Godfellas
Braveheart
Twister
Many John Wayne/Clint Eastwood like Hatari or The Cowboys (lots of drive-in flicks)
A lot of Monster Movies with Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, etc.
too many to list, but I grew up with the "old" Big Screen
