Follow Ups:
I walked out on Barry Lyndon, Time Bandits, Excorcist 2(the Heretic) & Batman 2. I used to live by Westwood, CA and went to the movies about 5 times a week for 7 years, so I have seen a TON of movies.On the other hand some of my favorites are: Raging Bull, The Elephant Man, Being There, Shawshank Redemption, Marathon Man, True Romance, The Deerhunter, Gladiator , The Day the Earth Stood Still, Alien, Manhunter, Silence of the Lambs, Full Metal Jacket & The Shining, just to name a few.
Mr. Doomsday,Nice "favorites" list you have there. I love The Elephant Man (er, the movie, not the real Elephant Man, and not in a "Michael Jackson" way). And Marathon Man! What a friggin' amazing movie. After watching it I'm usually both exhilarated and depressed. Depressed because it represents an entirely forgotten sense of realism (commitment by the actors), gritty film making, utterly convincing Mis en Scene and intelligent script writing. It's the type of stuff that seemed de riguer for serious filmmakers in the Seventies, but which makes an appearance only every few years or so in the current film scene. The Seventies was an awesome decade for film.
