DDD making the list made it worth the click.

Charlie Brown Christmas? That's not a movie. It's a 30 minute TV special.

There are definitely people out there that have zero interest in Star Wars. That needs to come off the list.

The wizard of oz has the most broad appeal across all age groups. My 95 year old grandma has seen it, small kids have seen, and everyone in between.

Titanic has that appeal as well, as 20 years ago when it came out, it captures the olds cause some of them were alive, and the story still continues to capture minds of all ages.


Edit, polling this board is highly skewed of course.

None of my young children have seen Oz. In general, we don't channel surf and watch a movie because it is on anymore. We turn on the TV to watch sports, a dvr'd show, or just leave it on Disney Jr. Otherwise, we are watching Netflix or a movie on Amazon Prime.

I can't say I've seen Oz in the last 10 years maybe longer. I agree it it up there, but I feel like most young people have not seen it.

Wizard of Oz may not even be top 5 50 years from now. I do movie trivia every now and then with my students as bonus questions, and its shocking how many of them have never seen it or don't know anything about it.

Majority of people born after 1990 haven't seen Star Wars, especially females.

And then there was one.

With 30 responses so far only Forrest Gump is 30/30.

Oz, Lion King, Toy Story, & JP are all 29/30.

The lowest is Debbie Does Dallas at 4/30.

Seems like a decent enough sample size to call it a wrap. 30 mostly male College educated white people from Texas in their 20s-40s.

Interesting result nonetheless!

Side comment: gone with the wind is a fantastic movie. Epic scale when that had to be done for real.

No one mentioned them previously. I don't think any would make much of an impact.
