You're way off base. 'Caddyshack' is a comedic American classic, with quotable lines for all situations.

Here's two 'great' movies I could even sit through. 'Citizen Kane' and 'Chariots of Fire'. Bored to death 20 minutes in. I gave up on both and never returned.

[Han Solo]

Ghandi

For me it's any of the Stars Wars movies ... they bore me to death. I was I guess 6 when it came out. I saw the 1st one when it came on regular TV in the late 70's or early 80's and it did nothing for me.

E. T.

Unforgiven. Terrible western.

Titanic

And any of the Focker movies (however I have the perfect title for their next sequel..."Mother Focker")

fwiw - boy do I disagree with Caddyshack ! To me it is a "must see" everytime it is on !

What a terrible, boring movie!

Caddyshack did nothing for me. Nor did Christmas Vacation.

While I didn't find Citizen Kane to be horrible, I didn't understand the hype.


I can't say anything about the Star Wars movies, because I've only ever seen the first one. Once. In 1977. I don't really think I'd have an interest in them.

Ghandi

and Chariots of Fire..

The English Patient. Even the cable networks don't rerun it despite the fact it won 9 Academy Awards including best picture.

Me too. Except for a few nice innnovations in technique, I could never figure out what thye big deal was.

Have to agree with you there. I couldn't sit for more than 30 minutes of it. But I understand it didn't get any better after I tuned out.

Good point: eminently watchable flix like Die Hard, Ronin, Spy Game, Bourne series, & Adam Sandler (NMCoT; "not my cup of tea") movies get recycled thru all the premium netws. So do the Muppet movies but never Henson's Dark Crystal. Never saw E.P.; don't intend to.

Of all the movies cited here so far, I've seen Citizen Kane dozens of times (yes: plotless, artsy charm), orig. Star Wars x4 in theaters; none of the others after that.

"Chariots" a serious period piece: w/o that soundtrack, it's barely sentient. Took me a week to watch a DVR'd Gandhi. (There are, in fact, lotsa horror stories from the 80s.)

Once in a while, if I get to tell people I was a caddy summers during h.s., they'll ask if I've seen Caddyshack. I guess I don't even make the connection betw. the two. 'Course, then, I've never seen Animal House either.

I have never seen a best movie list with caddyshack on it .......

geez, might as well put hangover and american pie on the list then ......

its a cult classic with some good sophomoric humor ........

[dandrews]

I don't know if No Country for Old Men is considered an all time great, but the ending didn't really do anything for me. Good movie though, just overrated.

Blazing Saddles, Hitting the horse was not funny

[old school]

The English Patient was just painfully boring.

Titanic

I thought Titanic sucked too. Now it's out in 3D, so I guess it sucks in a whole new demension.

No accounting for tastes, I guess. I just love the Star Wars movies; that to me is (at least one aspect of) what movies are about - whiz-bang escapism. I loved Close Encounters as well.

On the other hand, I have no taste at all for something like Raging Bull, featuring a lead character who is nothing but disgusting and violent and utterly without redeeming humanity.
