MOVIES you LOVE everybody else LOVES

[Allhallowsday]

MOVIES you LOVE everybody else LOVES... inspired for obvious reasons, I want to mention: 

THE GODFATHER
THE GODFATHER PART II 
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (a vast improvement of the novella)
A CHRISTMAS STORY
CASINO
GOODFELLAS
THE GREEN MILE

[claws]

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

[Gabriel Knight]

Well, "everybody else" is a tricky phrase because people in this very forum will disagree, but here are some from me:

THE LORD OF THE RINGS
THE HOBBIT
MEMENTO
EVIL DEAD II
TRAINSPOTTING
THE TRUMAN SHOW
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

[Rev. Powell]

There's no movie everybody loves. (We even have people here who dislike THE WIZARD OF OZ!)

For SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, I'd need to start a thread called "Movies you thing are pretty good but so incredibly overrated that you get annoyed by people constantly proclaiming its Greatness."

But in the spirit of the thread:

THE GODFATHER
SCHINDLER'S LIST
12 ANGRY MEN
THE LORD OF THE RINGS
PULP FICTION
FIGHT CLUB

PULP FICTION

and we are proud of that fact 

here's a small sample:

Pulp Fiction
2001: A Space Oddessy
Taxi Driver
Blazing Saddles
Spirited Away
Psycho

[Gabriel Knight]

I haven't seen WIZARD OF OZ but since it's a musical I already hate it.

[Allhallowsday]

I know I exaggerate.  And just because I love a movie doesn't mean it's "great".   

[RCMerchant]

That's a real wide net!

.JAWS (1975)
.KING KONG (1933)
.GODZILLA (1954)
.NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968)

[VenomX73]

I gotta say, I really love The Wolfman 2010 movie,
although Lon Chaney Jr will always be the real Wolfman in my eyes.

Yes.

for how long? i'm not good at maintaining depression, i'm obnoxiously cheerful, i'm told.

You might've noticed my own commentary about "everybody" or "hyperbole".  Prolly not.  Just bustin' your chops.  

I haven't seen WIZARD OF OZ but since it's a musical I already hate it.

It's maybe the perfect Hollywood movie.  It's a movie movie.  You don't know what you're missing.

But they sing all the time, ew.

I don't like musicals particularly either.
