This is a correct answer.

No idea what percentage of people have seen it, but:

Great, great documentary:

I'm sure you've all seen it, but I just wanted to pay respect:

Big Wednesday:

I'll bang the drum for my favorite oldie, Stalag 17. It is well-known but not widely watched.

Good Christmas movie.

I like a lot of the ones y'all posted and there are several I haven't seen that are going into my queue to watch over the holidays. Some I've always wanted to see and some I've never heard of. Good Entertainment Board thread.

Good one. Saw that in the theater when I was at A&M.

THX 1138

Heavy Metal:

+1 for Poolhall Junkies

Some other ones are The Good Night and King of California.

I will give Poolhall Junkies a try.

Is King of California tragic? I cant tell.

I imagine any male movie lover will have seen it, but if you haven't seen Das Boot, you really must, like tonight:

The Good Night is about a guy who falls in love with a dream girl while sleeping and forgets his wife.

King of California is about Michael Douglas acting crazy in search of gold in California. Funny bits overall, I enjoyed it.

Super 8 was a kickass movie and I'd bet lots of people haven't seen it, but i could be wrong:

the original "The Man Who Knew Too Much" with Peter Lorre
Brick
Bronson

Super 8 was ****ing terrible.

He's gotta be trolling, junk. I was more interested in seeing how "The Case" turned out.

I loved Super 8, but it's a pretty well known movie.

Lone Star - My favorite "Texas" movie. Only did $12.4MM at the box office. Fantastic mid-90's murder mystery set in the Frontera region of South Texas. Written/directed by John Sayles and stars Chris Cooper, Matthew McConaughey, Kris Kristofferson, and Elizabeth Pena.

I know I saw that, but damned if I remember it.

I think it would be worth watching again. A very good ensemble cast and a great story. These days, I think some people would have problems with it due to the whole immigration debate going on, but I still think it does a good job speaking to the culture of Texas.

As a side note, the first time I saw the movie was at A&M. It was playing at the MSC as part of a film festival or something. My friends and I were thinking of something to do that night and I suggested we go see the movie. They didn't like the idea and just wanted to hang out at the dorm, so I ended up going on my own. They missed a great film.

Anyone seen The Hunting Party w/ Richard Gere?

This thread should be titled "movies that were well known before I started high school.

Excellent movie. MM anf KK were really good in that.

A couple of early 80s choices that people under 40 probably haven't seen:

The Year of Living Dangerously
Being There

Being there was a good movie, but haven't seen it in forever.
