At the Movies...
In the wake of Star Wars: Episode III opening tomorrow, I was in a discussion with my friend Aaron about great movies (I have not declared Episode III great, but I am excited...). As we discussed the Original Star Wars trilogy our discussion moved to the current Star Wars trilogy. In discussing "The Phantom Menace", he said it was hard to see "Schindler" (from Schindler's List, obviously...) as Jedi "Qui-Gon Jinn".
He, of course, was referring to Liam Neeson. However, I did not know that. How did I not know that? Well...I didn't know Liam Neeson was in "Schindler's List", because I've never seen "Schindler's List".
That's right...I've never seen "Schindler's List".
Aaron, needless to say, was shocked. "How could you not have seen that?" and "Are you crazy?" followed.
So I started thinking. What are some movies that I have never seen that I should have seen? Actually, I can think of a lot.
I haven't seen:
1. Schindler's List (obviously...)
2. The Green Mile
3. The Shawshank Redemption
4. The Godfather
5. Apocalypse Now
6. Deliverance (Thank goodness...)
7. Platoon
8. Citizen Kane
9. Meet Joe Black
10. A Christmas Story
11. Monty Python's Life of Brian
12. Groundhog Day
13. Saturday Night Fever
14. Goodfellas
15. Hitch
16. Dodgeball
17. Tommy Boy
18. The Natural
Yep, never seen any of those. There are more, but I am drawing a blank. But, think about it. What are some of the movies that when you tell people "I've never seen _________" do they think you are nuts? Which movies were you supposed to see that you didn't?
Nothing beats my good friend Mark Lavender. He has never seen Star Wars. This blog has now officially come full circle...
