Pretty much everything in the last 7 or so years. The handful of movies I've seen in that time all sucked.
Except Dunkirk, that one was pretty awesome.

Like Roots, Schindlers List is almost entirely made up, other than the basic premise.

Into the Wild was garbage. I cannot believe that made the list.

For anyone with a Criterion Channel subscription Cinema Paradiso just got added (Seven Samurai is on there as well). It should be mandatory viewing for any movie lover.

I finally got a change to watch "The Hustler" starring Jackie Gleason and Paul Newman. Small time pool player named Fast Eddie takes on legendary Minnesota Fats.

Die Hard

Just to make it even weirder, I've seen both sequels, and have watched the 3rd one multiple times because I loved it

Yeah that's pretty weird for sure.

If you like WWII films, you might try Greyhound with Tom Hanks. Destroyer captain during battle of the Atlantic. Lots of good older ones, but that one sticks out for me in the last 7 years.

Saving Private Ryan as war films aren’t my thing. I’m sure it’s great though

Home Alone.

I've watched it twice, mostly because the first time it was on a tiny 13" CRT TV on VHS.

And now I never want to watch it again.

In fairness, you watched Arsenal this season and the ending is basically the exact same!

Movies are fictional?

I never once thought that movie would make it into this thread! Congrats!!

I was in my late 30s before I watched Home Alone for the first time.

A Christmas Story.

I was 15 at the time and that year i was more interested in GoodFellas, total Recall, Misery, Dances with Wolves, Flatliners, Jacob's Ladder. Awakenings, Hunt for Red October. Great year.

Home Alone never was something that I had any desire to watch.

M (1931, Germany)

Ben-Hur (1959)
Judgment at Nuremberg (1961)
8½ (1963, Italy)
Persona (1966, Sweden)
Cool Hand Luke (1967)
Viy (1967, Russia)
The Godfather (1972)
The Godfather: Part II (1974)
The Deer Hunter (1978)

Add 'In the Heat of the Night' to that list, must watch and Canadian directed, some of the 60's best actors at the height of their power and sadly just as relevant today as it was in 1967
