Tsk, tsk, tsk... Well, I won't be throwing anything at you, but I can't promise you tsom won't.

Blasphemy.

That's true, the first time I ever saw Gone With the Wind was in hi-def, and that was an experience.

And you two will be seeing this movie.

Just kidding... or am I?

*Dear diary: today was a very scary day, I found someone who hasn't seen Casablanca and Gone with the Wind. I'm very, very scared. What should I do. I tried to make up for it in my mind, but somehow I just can't, I just... can't. The horror, oh... the horror.*

And I havn't seen the Sound of Music to add to the nightmare...

although my parents say they've seen the Sound of music but havnt seen Casablanca or Gone with the Wind either.... and my parents are nearly 50 years old....however if you want to know anything about a rock music that happened in the 80s...my dad I would bet knows it...

I've never seen them either nor a lot of other films probably the most famous being The Godfather, Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, Pulp Fiction, Schindler's List, Citizen Kane, Lawrence of Arabia, North by Northwest, 2001, Singin' in the Rain...

Wow, besides The Ten Commandments and 2001, those are some of the greatest movies ever made. Lets just say if you do watch them, take your time. Not only are many of those films LONG, but they may require your complete attention. Let me rank them for you:

1 North by Northwest - What I consider Hitchcock's best or at least my favorite. This is a fast paced spy thriller that would rival any James Bond movie and most likely surpass it. Comes with you typical, fantastic Herrmann score.
2 Casablanca - This is the movie that made me a Bogie fan (although, not my favorite of his). This has to be the greatest romantic wartime drama. From iconic lines to the iconic score, I just love this movie. This is actually one of the 5 Blu-rays I own (I had the format for a couple of years now).
3 Singin' in the Rain - The greatest movie musical, period. I was instantly hooked on first viewing and loved the songs. Its just funny and really smart rip on Hollywood during the transition from silents to talkies.
4 Gone with the Wind - This one may take some getting used to. This movie is long but worth it, as its probably one of the greatest war time epics of all time. Stiener's score is epic.
5 The Godfather - Probably not my favorite gangster movies but definitely one of the best. You get involved with these characters more then you do in any other gangster film. Another iconic score. I have to say that I went in not expecting much and was surprised that its almost as good as its hyped up to be.
6 Pulp Fiction - Tarantino's best. The main characters are bad but very likable. The whole movie is just cool and funny.
7 Citizen Kane - Many consider it the greatest film ever made but don't let them fool you. Maybe technically it is but not one of the most re-watchable. It tells the tale of a newspaper tycoon's life and will have you guessing as to the meaning of the word "rosebud" all the way up to the end. Still its an entertaining enough movie. If you watch the documentary on the DVD that explains the whole story behind the movie and what its based on, you'll probably find yourself gaining a whole new appreciation for the movie. What gets everyone is that Orson Welle's wrote, directed and stared in this film (all of which he did really well, rivaled Chaplin in this regard) and the makeup was fantastic.
8 Ben-Hur - Kind of a cross between King of Kings and Gladiator. I totally recommend the silent and 50's version of this film. Their both epic and VERY well made. Surprised by the HIGH production value on both. For the 50's version, Wyler was such great and diverse director who knew how to handle characters. I've only seen them both once as they're pretty long.
9 Lawrence of Arabia- If your like me, you'll probably recognize the score to the film even though you've never seen it (I was like, so that where its from). Anyways, an epic masterpiece made by David Lean (along with Bridge on the River Kwai and Doctor Zhivago). But like those movies, it seriously lacks on re-watchability. It just wasn't entertaining enough to be to warrant another watch with its runtime. As before, fantastic score by Jarre.
10 Schindler's List - This movie really proved Spielberg's diversity. It was a great mvoie that had me on the edge of my seat. Very well made but probably not something you'll routinely watch (like Jaws, E.T., Raiders of the Lost Arc, Jurassic Park, etc.).
11 2001 - I must warn anyone who have never see a Kubrick film that its an acquired taste. Some people may love his movies, others may hate them. I'm not fond of this one but appreciate it. I personally like Kubrick's earlier films more.
12 The Ten Commandments - Just not that great. Obviously there was high production values with the accuracy, hugh detailed sets and costumes, big crowd scenes, great special effects (for its time), and just an all around feeling of epic-ness. Unfortunately some of the acting is bad and the story kind of drags and doesn't warrant the runtime.

As for the Sound of Music, I only recently saw it last year. Not as great as some may have you believe but still pretty good. Right up there with The West Side Story, My Fair Lady, and Oliver! as some of the greatest 60's musicals.

I hope the people here get the time to watch some of these movies (personally, it took me years to see them all). Luckily, for those who care, most of them are out or will be out by the end of the year on Blu-ray. You probably won't like them all and may disagree with what I said on some but you never know until you try them. You may find some new favorites here.

I also have not seen The Sound of Music all the way through (Just bits and pieces), but I own the 2-Disc DVD, so I might give it a try one of these days.

I also have not seen Gone With the Wind (Just does not look interesting to me), The Godfather, Citizen Kane or Casablanca.
