I've seen it, but never on TV. Good flick.


I've never seen Grease...and you won't pay me enough money to watch it. I've seen stage productions of it, and have enjoyed them, but I never want to see the movie.

Toot!

Oh really? We should talk.

(actually, not a "twist," but an interpretation)

Twist, twist, twist. Funny word.

Since I don't want to bore you all with an anticipated overly long post, here's the list of films from that list that I have seen in entirety:

34. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (1962)
41. WEST SIDE STORY (1961)

Yeah, it's kinda sad. I'm not that, um... cultured. :blush:

I don't really think either Unbreakable or Signs had twists, more just revelations on the implications of what you'd been seeing. Neither ending changed the meaning of what had been seen before.

There aren't many movies that I would want to see on TV for the first time. I just KNOW that too many important elements are missing when I see a TV version. Even if no content is lost, the ALWAYS untimely commercials and pan and scan (a HUGE peev of mine) are enough to ruin any movie.

It always cracks me up when I see Blazing Saddles on broadcast television. They have to take so much out that they invariably have to put in cut scenes just to make it reasonably lengthy. I saw one version where they added three different additional ways that Sheriff Bart captures Mongo. :rolleyes:

Putting Blazing Saddles on broadcast TV makes as much sense as trying to show porn.

Scarface
Scent of a Woman

Scent of a Woman was a wonderful movie, but I can't help getting an image of Al Pacino sniffing his finger whenever I see that title.

My name is Kevin and I'm a pervoholic.

And yes, the Criterion laserdisc of CE3K LIED on its label. It's frelling why I got into laserdiscs in the first place, and it was a lie (although, at the time, it did restore a great deal of footage that had been cut).

I did end up starting a thread about M. Night's films ... so if you want to muse about any of those movies, or want to chastise people for not having seen them, feel free to say what you might about M. Night over there.

I've not seen most of the Disney shorts, for starters.

Never seen Song of the South, Ichabod & Mr. Toad, Sword and the Stone and until I bought the DVD, never had seen Lady & the Tramp.
