The library has every movie you listed, I think all on DVD too.

I was just asking a general question. He said he saw every movie on the top 250, but he probably doesn't have a hot ass library. That is why I was wondering where he sees them from.

[QUOTE=Triple A]Where have you seen every movie? I'm curious as to where people find all these films. It is real hard to find a lot of shit here, even at the library. QUOTE]

Actually, I saw most of them on late night cable. Also, I have a membership at an arthouse theater which shows mostly classics and foreign films. Libraries are full of the high praised low distribution type films which populate the IMDB top 250, plus being free , I own 1 DVD and borrow a few several times a week. I have taken a few cinema courses at university where we watched movies for credits and have a card at a video store that specializes in foreign films. My friend gave me a couple of books a few christmases ago which listed cult and classic films, which I used to pick some of the movies I wanted to see. I also used to subscribe to Film Comment and American Cinematographer which often made reference to films listed on the 250. All in all it added up. Unfortunately, I've also been caught watching some of the bottom 250 as well, but all in all....

Gees I thought this would be short too.

Unless you count Spaceballs.

Also, all the star wars and LOTR movies are high on the top 250.

No, it means that some people are smart, and others are stupid.

Kind of like in the real world.

I agree.

I have seen a fee of those films but I can't think of any I remember standing out. Things like "Bridge over the River Kwai" are films my dad recommends to me, but I end up not really liking.

The Great Escape is excellent, though.

Blade Runner - overrated but still mostly holds up today
Cool Hand Luke - Paul Newman, iconic performance
The Hustler - Newman again, total self-destructive trip in this one though

All worth watching for different reasons. You might not necessarily love them or anything but they're still worth watching.

(I'm impressed you've seen Hero btw )
