1. The Godfather -- Great movie. I've seen it a million times.
2. Casablanca -- Finally saw it on TV a bunch of years ago. Eh. Bogart stole his whole act from Crag Banyon.
3. Taxi Driver - Walked out on it.

4. 2001: A Space Odyssey -- Fell asleep on it.
5.
Reservoir Dogs - I've heard the name, but have no idea who is in it or
what it's about. Does that count? (Wait, is this a Quintly Tortilli
movie? If so, I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
ever, ever see it. Never. I can't stand that foul-mouthed twitch
machine.)
6. This Is Spinal Tap -- I thought it was funny years ago, but it doesn't hold up. I saw it a couple of years ago and I was very surprised at how painful it was to watch. I don't think I smiled once. I can't stand Meathead. Christopher Guest's mockumentaries are much better. For one thing, they're funny.
7. Apocalypse Now -- Awful movie that you're supposed to say is great. The only laserdisc I ever traded in; and those things were expensive. Read Heart of Darkness instead. It'll take less time.

8. Goodfellas -- I've seen it a bunch of times. Good movie about horrible people.
=8. Blade Runner -- I saw the original version years ago, but not any of the million remakes. I'm pretty sure Larry of Larry, Darryl and Darryl is in it.
10. The Great Escape -- Great movie. Every time I watch it I always feel bad that Donald Pleasance ended his career chasing Jamie Lee Curtis' bogeyman. He was a fine character actor.

So I've seen seven of them, I bailed on two of them and I'll never see one of them. What do I win?
