25, but half that stuff is so old I can't remember if I ever actually watched the whole movie or not.

97 out of 170: there are a number of films there that I paid good money to see and didn't end up regretting it.  :teddyr:

38 % of the Oscar movies (33) and 25 % of the bad movies (43).

I know "bad" is hard to define properly for movies, but there are some in the bad list with potential for discussion. Most arguable for me: Planet of the Apes.

Agreed: I counted 45 titles that I liked including The Avengers, Heaven's Gate, Highlander 2, Godzilla and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.  :smile:

Best Pictures:

Just 26 (but I have DVDs or recording from TV of about 18 others - just haven't got around to watching them completely yet)...there's others I've seen parts of but couldn't finish them for one reason or another....

Bad Movies:

I've seen 60 of those listed but I wouldn't consider them all bad movies.

19.  Not many but many don't capture my attention. 

72.  On the bad movies one, I kind of question some of their inclusions.  Not that they were terrific but there are some there that are much better then quite a few that could have been listed.

44, for the "Best Pictures." Or 51%.

51, for the "Bad Movies." Or, 30%. Most of those were not my type of bad movies.



Title: Re: Quiz: How Many "Best Pictures" Have You Seen?
Post by: Trevor on April 11, 2014, 12:46:40 AM
Most of those were not my type of bad movies.

I think we all agree on that score: most of the bad movies listed there were very entertaining IMHO.  :smile:

39 of the bad movies and the description is pretty much accurate:
You dig bad movies, as long as they’re so bad they’re good — and not just unbearable. You haven’t seen as many of the movies on this list as you’d like, but you’re pretty passionate about at least a few. After all, a good bad movie is just more fun to watch than a good good movie.

13.

But on the upside, I own Redneck Zombies and Hard Rock Zombies on dvd, so I think my taste in film is rather good.

On the 'list of bad movies'...I've seen 88.

In fact, I own a few on dvd.

Post by: BoyScoutKevin on April 13, 2014, 01:23:34 PM
Of the Oscar winners, 35 or 41%.

Now ask me why I'll probably never see the 36th, but 1st ask me how many of the Oscar winners I enjoyed.

18 or 51%. With those odds I'd do better flipping a coin to decide what film to see, then seeing a film that won the Oscar.

I'll add that there is nothing wrong with most of the Oscar winners. It is just that the Academy and I have different tastes in films.

One final comment. It has been mentioned at the website, but not here I believe, but the movie poster for "All Quiet on the Western Front" is not for the 1930 Oscar winner, but the 1979 TV version. Having seen both, (IMHO) good, but not as good as the film version. And the movie poster for "Ben Hur" is not for the 1959 Oscar winner, but for the silent version of 1925. Again, having seen both, except for the naval battle and the chariot race, I prefer the 1925 version. And some hold that the silent film version is superior to the version that came along 34 years later.

I may have seen more, or less, than I chose because so many seemed familiar and forgettable.  
There's a few on there I LIKE... LIKE ROADHOUSE !!!  :bouncegiggle:  I DO LIKE IT!!  I JUST WATCHED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS or maybe ever!!!

Roadhouse is great.  For a Patrick Swayze film, too.  But I like it.

I saw almost 90 of those films listed on the bad movies list.

54 of the "Best Pictures".  Not sure how I should feel about that.

50 on the Bad Movie list.  Maybe I shouldn't have admitted that here as it seems low for this environment.  :bluesad:

47 Best Picture winners.  I think they should have included Sunrise, as the unique award it won is basically a variant of "Best Picture".  It won "Best Unique and Artistic Production".  It was meant, at the time, to be equal to the regular best picture.

77 on the bad movies.  A lot of big ones I haven't seen..  Hmm.

     45 out of 86!

BTW, THE COLOR PURPLE should've won Best Picture in '85, rather than OUT OF HERNIA AFRICA; I haven't watched the Oscars since.
