it's amazing how peoples tastes differ.
it's a wonderful life and wizard of oz are two of my favourite films, also love laurel and hardy.
i agree about the marx brothers, never liked them.

i would'nt put pearl harbour in the classic category.

Answer 1

A Clockwork Orange.

Answer 2

Casablanca. Loved Gladiator.

Answer 3

Apocalypse Now. God that movie was dull, confusing and waaaaaay overdone.
A Clockwork Orange. Malcom McDowell's character sounded like a teletubby and you saw the ending coming a mile down the road.
2001 A Space Odyessy. Still makes no sense at all and I've watched it 3 times.
The last 3 Star Wars movies (the newer ones.) While the effects were great the stories were dumb, the acting was wooden, it all seemed to be presented as a giant marketing tool and JarJar Binx is the most offensive movie character since 1930s movies.
Godfather Part 3. Am I the only person who thinks this movie was absolutely awful? Michael's death scene was hilarious. Talia Shire and Coppola's daughter gave wretched performances.

Answer 4

Marx Brothers Flicks

Answer 5

Sound of Music - it's too long yet played over and over come Christmas time. And being a musical puts it over the top.

Gone with the Wind - "frankly dear..." Also too long. This stinker was a box office flop when it was released. It was years later that it became a hit.

yup, Titanic fits in there. The whole thing was hype. And the Love story was pathetic.

I find a lot of "classic" films are raved about being that there are so many baby boomers that like them. Lots of great movies since then.

Answer 6

The Sound of Music, West Side Story, The Wizard of Oz, and Oklahoma! I never liked them!

Answer 7

Lawd, where do I start...

1. Grease
2. Titanic (not really a classic but bugs all the same)
3. Gone with the wind (I mean c'mon - 3+ hours!!)
4. Sound of Music (it's just not going to happen is it)
5. Albert & Costello films
6. Charlie Chaplain films

and that's about it - I will say though that I did find The King and I somewhat interesting, but there's my list for ya!

Answer 8

I enjoyed the e book The Bonfire of the Vanities. I regard it to be a popular-day American classic. whether, the action picture version replaced into absolute rubbish. It replaced into so a methods from how I perceived that tale i needed to cry. I even have under no circumstances examine Lord of the jewellery. fantasy fiction has no allure for me. The Godfather I enjoyed, Victorian literature I take exhilaration in when I even have staying power to examine each and every of the wordy stuff, yet i like the texture of examining some thing that is authentically Victorian, written precisely in that era. high-quality question. Have a megastar. ? EDIT. a contemporary action picture I disliked intensely (properly contemporary for me) replaced into the Jennifer Aniston one, breaking up. finished tosh. EDIT 2 I enjoyed The Shining. confident confident confident. yet a number of Stephen King books, in spite of the reality that very sturdy, make me ask your self what he's on!!!!!

Answer 9

I'm not sure if you would call them classics! Titanic, Gladiator, Pearl Harbour, The English Patient, Million Dollar Baby, Crash, Unforgiven, The Constant Gardener,The Quick and the Dead......... that is without giving it much thought, lol:-D
I'll have a think and come back later!

Answer 10

I love all the ganster style movies so obviously top of everybodies list is the Godfather Trilogy, but (and sorry if I offend anybody) I have tried to watch it on numerous occasions and I just cannot get into it I find it slow and boring and I lose interest in it after half an hour or so!!
I must be missing something but I just cannot see what?

Answer 11

The Wizard of Oz
