Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Wow! I guess people really go for FANTASY! They may have been the highest grossing movies of all time, but certainly not the best! "You Can't Take It With You" with Lionel Barrymore and "The Grapes of Wrath" with Henry Fonda are excellent movies and more worth the time to watch!

When I was 8, I watched 50 in theatres and I was genuinely scared of it. I had nightmares for weeks.

I want to watch movies inspirational , are anyone now ??

I guess it bespeaks age when you have only see 9 of these, and honestly, I watched Fast and Furious 6 On Demand about ten days ago because of the hype for Fast and Furious 7. I also wonder, out of sheer curiosity, how many people who have seen Avatar, I have not, in a theater, were alive in 1982 to see ET in a theater, as I was and did? I am also surprised, as befits age, that neither the original Star Wars, or Close Encounters of the Third Kind made the top 50

I feel like half of these are LOTR and Harry Potter. I've got nothing against them but it doesn't seem right for the rest of the movie world.

I'm like some of you guys! Where is Jaws on this list and definitely all of the Star Wars and Batman movies.

I think I've seen all of them

Happy to see that Harry Potter and lord of the Rings made it on the list. Some of my favorites! I prefer book but movies are great

These are mostly guys movies that i watch with my bf :o

If America released Avengers 2 already, it's piling up the $ in Australia for it's first weekend!!
