Lawrence of Arabia is an epic, beautifully filmed masterpiece.

I disagree with Once Upon a Time in the West - enjoyed it even though the harmonica was pretty cheesy.

But if we're going to be swinging at the all-time classics...

Basically anything by Hitchcock - the influence on later movies is evident but I just don't find them that enjoyable today.
Casablanca - zzz.

These were great movies but the rest of them didn't do much for me.

You must have emotional problems with zero life experience.

Bridge, is about remaining steadfast and noble under insane circumstance.
Lawrence is about being a truly awesome person, and it really doesn't matter.
Rebel is about a generation of pussies raising more pussies who only know how to cause trouble.

Titanic - typical corny Hollywood romance movie set on the Titanic

Pulp Fiction - Samuel L. Jackson's acting was awesome, but to me it just seems like a few random stories poorly slapped together to form a single movie.

We need you to go to the top of Everest and unfold your loaf into the sky, let it travel through the cosmos and make ground contact with an Earth like planet many galaxies away. We can walk across your flesh bridge and colonize another planet before we blow this one up.

Do as your kind did before you. As Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandpa Proudmanlet Sr. once laid his loaf across the Bearing Sea creating that once great flesh bridge from Russia to Alaska, making the migration of humans and animals to North America possible.

North by Northwest is excellent Hitchcock (and his last good film) and Casablanca is still my GOAT film

The "whitezilla", "hooge cawks", etc. themed pornos in which said cawks are nowhere near proudmanlet levels. Such disgusting lies by the porn industry.
