That is true. To me, a movie has to have something that interests me to watch it. Just cause something is considered a classic must see, isn't enough.
Spoiler:a wedding that has nothing to do with the rest that happens in the movie,and that is so demotivating when the movie is over 3 hours
WTF!?!?!?
Squatly, you are dead to me
Yep,Raging Bull is 130 min though so nowhere near as long as the rest,ive seen it and definitely worth a watch.
I heard that the first hour of Deer Hunter is aboutSpoiler:a wedding that has nothing to do with the rest that happens in the movie,and that is so demotivating when the movie is over 3 hours
Of the movies listed so far, I have seen Psycho, The Shining and A Clockwork Orange. The others have no appeal.
I rarely watch films prior to 1960 (except Wizard Oz and Disney animation). Others I haven't seen:
2001: A Space Odyssey
Easy Rider
Pulp Fiction
China Town
I remember watching deer hunter and raging bull in highschool and being bored out of my mind. I should probably give it a second watch though.

I try to watch as many of the "classics" as possible, but more often than not, I end up pretty disappointed. I'm sure that, at the time, they were considered ground-breaking pieces of cinematic art, but they don't necessarily age very well.
Example, the other day, one of our movie channels had the Maltese Falcon available so I decided to check it out. Oh. My. God. What a boring freaking mess! Nothing happens! Just a bunch of people dropping by Sam Spade's office and talking. That's it!
I had a similar reaction when I watched Lawrence of Arabia and Casablanca. Both movies bored me to tears, and I found myself hoping the end would come soon.
I think there are timeless classics (Raging Bull and The Shining, for example), and classics that belong to a certain period of time. But just because something was deemed "classic" at one point, doesn't necessarily mean it's still any good.
That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read.
I have no interest, never had and never will to watch a 'Indiana Jones' movie... Meh. What the fAWWWKkkk.never seen Indiana Jones . any of them
