When my wife watched it with me it really freaked her out and she refuses to watch it again."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth." -
I watched it years ago, and while i appreciated it, it didn't wow meOriginally posted by Long John View PostIt certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

I feel pretty much the same way. I had it on my list, but doubt I would have actually picked it. I can see why it is considered a classic though.Originally posted by TranaGreg View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

How did Schindler's List make it through almost four entire rounds?!If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Although it is truly a fantastic movie and i remember being emotionally worn out after watching it, I have no desire to watch it again.Originally posted by DMT View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

Me neither, but it's still an all-time classic by any metric.Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

weird psychological thing at play here ... i figured since it didn't get picked first or second that I must have missed a discussion which made it ineligible ... either that, or I thought that It's a Wonderful Life was a better move ... no, that's not it ...Originally posted by DMT View PostIt certainly feels that way.

Thanks to whoever picked Nosferatu. I wanted to pick a silent film for Round 4, and I couldn't decide between Nosferatu & Metropolis, but then I didn't have to decide.Comment

I am picking based on movies I enjoy and am willing to watch at least twice.Originally posted by DMT View Post
If I was picking on merit or critical acclaim I would have taken it or Citizen Kane with the first pick. Neither were on my top 28 list.Comment

While I missed out on some of my favorites I am kind of proud that I snagged 5 out of my top 10. Especially with this crowd. You all have made the rest of my list look like shredded wheat.Originally posted by Gregg View PostComment
